  1. Welcome to Parkdale Evangelical Free Church! August 27, 2017

  2. Psalm 34 1 I will extol the Lord at all times;    his praise will always be on my lips.2 I will glory in the Lord;    let the afflicted hear and rejoice.3 Glorify the Lord with me;    let us exalt his name together.

  3. Psalm 34 4I sought the Lord, and he answered me;    he delivered me from all my fears.5 Those who look to him are radiant;    their faces are never covered with shame.6 This poor man called, and the Lord heard him;    he saved him out of all his troubles.7 The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him,and he delivers them.

  4. Psalm 34 8Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.9 Fear the Lord, you his holy people,    for those who fear him lack nothing.10 The lions may grow weak and hungry,    but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.

They consecrated it as far as the Tower of the Hundred, as far as the Tower of Hananel. 2And next to him the men of Jericho built. And next to them Zaccurthe son of Imri built.

  21. Bricks in the Wall 1 Peter 2:5 …you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

  22. Bricks in the Wall Ephesians 2:19-22 …you are fellow citizens with the saints andmembers of the household of God, 20built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, 21in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord.22In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.

  23. Bricks in the Wall 2 Corinthians 5:15, 17 15 and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for Himwho for their sake died and was raised. 17Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

  24. Bricks in the Wall Ephesians 2:8-10 8 For by grace you have been savedthrough faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

  25. Bricks in the Wall 1 Corinthians 3:9, 10, 16 9 For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's field, God's building.10According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. 16Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? 

  26. Bricks in the Wall 1 Thessalonians 5:11-13 11 Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing. 12 We ask you, brothers, to respect those who labor among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, 13 and to esteem them very highly in love because of their work.
