Service is live: Watch Now

April 30, 2021

The Parkside Insider: April 30, 2021

Learn from the book of Daniel how to live confidently for Christ today.

What does it look like to live with joy in a society that does not like what Christians believe, say, or do? It’s tempting to grow angry, keep our heads down, retreat, or just give up altogether.

But this isn’t the first time that God’s people have had to learn how to live in a pagan world that opposes God’s rule. In this realistic yet positive book, Alistair Begg examines the first seven chapters of Daniel to show us how to live bravely, confidently, and obediently in an increasingly secular society.

Readers will see that God is powerful and God is sovereign, and even in the face of circumstances that appear to be prevailing against his people, we may trust him entirely.

Brave by Faith is available through your favorite bookseller on May 1, and at Books by the Park beginning this Sunday. (Book description courtesy of the publisher.)

Last Week's Sermon From
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

Hope is foundational to endurance in the faith. But what happens when hope is deferred? The apostle Paul encouraged believers to grieve with hope in light of Jesus’ death and resurrection. Because Christ conquered the grave, those who die in Christ will also rise and reign with Him forever. The sting of death has been drawn.
