Description

In June as Pastor Doug is away, we will be hearing testimonies from 4 different members of our community. This week Linda Kolody shares her story of 2023, recorded live June 2, 2024 at First Presbyterian Church of Bellingham. Scripture read by Ann Hinz.

A Hiding Place: Psalm 27 teaches us to prevail against fear.

• What or whom do we fear?
• What does it mean that the Lord is our stronghold?
• What would it mean to live in courage? How would our lives look different?
• What does living in the house of the Lord have to do with courage?
• How do you gaze on the Lord?

Psalm 27:1-6

1 Do not boast about tomorrow,

for you do not know what a day may bring.

2 Let another praise you, and not your own mouth—

a stranger, and not your own lips.

3 A stone is heavy, and sand is weighty,

but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.

4 Wrath is cruel, anger is overwhelming,

but who is able to stand before jealousy?

5 Better is open rebuke

than hidden love.

6 Well meant are the wounds a friend inflicts,

but profuse are the kisses of an enemy.
