This is a weekly blog post with one purpose: to help those coming to Park’s Sunday gathering engage with the teaching and liturgy in a more meaningful way. We use this space to share in advance our Sunday’s liturgy: the scripture we’ll be studying, the songs we’ll be singing, and the prayers we’ll be praying together. We also share a handful of thoughts each week to help you use these things to prepare for the service. This Sunday, we continue our annual summer series, Christ in the Psalms, with Psalm 68. Here’s how you can prepare:

1. Read through Psalm 68.

This week’s psalm is a poem-song by David, telling the story of God and His people—a story of salvation. The song recounts how God’s people came from slavery to salvation before turning to discuss how salvation’s benefits and power play out.

Throughout the 12 weeks of this series, consider asking yourself the following three questions regularly as you prepare:

1. How does this Psalm help me pray?
2. How does this Psalm help me feel?
3. How does this Psalm help me see Jesus?

2. Read, pray and sing through the service:

We also share a handful of thoughts each week to help you use these things to prepare for the service. This Sunday, we switch over to our annual summer series, Christ in the Psalms, picking up where we left off last year—Psalm 66. Here’s how you can prepare:

1. Read through Psalm 66.

We believe that the Psalms are a book of prayers, a book of poems, and a book about Jesus. They teach us to pray, teach us to feel, and ultimately point to Jesus.

Through the 12 weeks of this series, we’ll be returning to this same set of questions:

1. How does this Psalm help me pray?
2. How does this Psalm help me feel?
3. How does this Psalm help me see Jesus?

2. Read, pray and sing through the service in advance:

Here’s how you can prepare:

1. READ THROUGH OUR TEXT, ACTS 19:21-20:1.

Paul, en route to Jerusalem, stops in the city of Ephesus, well-known for its worship of Artemis, the popular goddess of fertility. The silversmiths were concerned for the profitability of their idol manufacturing business and the impacts the gospel would have on the local economy (and ultimately their livelihood). Again we find the gospel making its way throughout the region, confronting lies and idols, while calling people into right relationship with the God who created all things.

If Paul walked into Denver today and began preaching the gospel, what sorts of businesses do you think would feel threatened? What sorts of idols would be exposed? In what ways is God the ultimately fulfillment of each of those idols?

2. READ, PRAY AND SING THROUGH THE SERVICE.

CALL TO WORSHIP: Isaiah 44:6-8

CONFESSION OF SIN:

(Together) Our Father In Heaven, we confess that in our quest for pleasure, wisdom, wealth and honor, we have sinned against you and have tried to find meaning without You. We use Your good gifts of time, wine, and work; We feast without looking to You as the giver of life and gifts. Please forgive us and remind us You are the Source of true life. Our hearts are restless until they find their rest in You, our Creator and Redeemer. (From Frontline Church) On Christ The Solid Rock I Stand (Mote)

We return this Sunday to The Book of Acts: You Will Be My Witnesses for week 31 in the series. Here’s how you can prepare:

1. Read through our text, Acts 18:18–19:20.

The power and nature of God is richly demonstrated in this passage: We see that the Holy Spirit prevails against sickness and the evil practices of men, restoring bodies and helping people confess and forsake their sin. We see that one cannot simply speak of Jesus to wield His power—He must dwell within you as a result of union with Him.

Are you subject to the Holy Spirit, confessing and forsaking sin at His command; being healed? Do you speak the name of Jesus in faint hope, as someone who has heard rumors of Him, or in power, as one to whom He has bound Himself in His death and resurrection?

2. Read, pray and sing through the service.
