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.

Christ in the Psalms ArtworkI’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!”
