Christ in the Psalms Artwork
Every summer at Park Church, we spend several weeks in the Psalms. The Psalms give us a vocabulary and a “hymnal” for relating to God through the full range of human experience and emotion, ultimately pointing us to Jesus. This annual series, now in its tenth year, is called “Christ in the Psalms.”Up to this point we have gone week-by-week through Psalm 99, and you can find each of those sermons here. Additionally, since 2015 (starting with Psalm 41), different artists within our community have done a piece of artwork for each Psalm. That’s what this page is about! To download an artwork guide for any of the previous three years, click on one of the options below. In 2017, we also began posting each new piece as a weekly blog post throughout the summer. Those appear below as well. As we enjoy Christ in the Psalms this summer, you’ll see new artwork appear here in addition to on our regular blog. Lastly, almost all of the artwork below is available for purchase. To inquire about the availablity of a piece, look for contact information in the blog post associated with the piece, or contact us and we’ll help you get in touch with the artist.

Psalm 119, Part 3—Artwork
Wednesday, August 11, 2021
I’m drawn to the tension between the psalmist’s firm belief in God’s goodness towards him and his broken-life experience that causes him to approach God in vulnerability, crying out “Do not utterly forsake me!”

Wednesday, August 4, 2021
Imagine a shepherd beginning to write this song as he watches his sheep, writing the Hebrew alphabet and capturing his love for God's words, panting for the Word and earnestly desiring to walk in it.

Psalm 115—Artwork
Wednesday, June 30, 2021

Psalm 114—Artwork
Wednesday, June 23, 2021
The emphasis of the painting is the dramatic water that could be interpreted either as the Red Sea or as the River Jordan, each that "ran off" at God's command. In the background is a land element that has a glow to imply that it is a holy place...

Psalm 113—Artwork
Wednesday, June 16, 2021
After spending a lot of time reflecting on Psalm 113, what stood out to me the most is that it is a psalm about hope; blessing the name of the Lord and also being blessed by Him.

Psalm 112—Artwork
Tuesday, June 15, 2021

Psalm 109—Artwork
Thursday, August 6, 2020
This piece examines King David in a place of darkness, doubt, loneliness and despair. I painted the piece in acrylic to emphasize the plastic nature of the Little Tike toy, which represents King David.

Psalm 108—Artwork

Psalm 105—Artwork
Wednesday, July 15, 2020
My piece, “The Covenant,” is in watercolors and is inspired by Psalm 105. It also captures the symbols of God’s Old Testament covenant: God moving through the halves of a burnt offering.

Thursday, June 25, 2020
...This painting first focuses on the brokenness of the world—the reality of man’s sinful desire to grasp and hold onto the things we think are important. These things are but dust and hold no weight in the Kingdom of Heaven (v.15-16)...
