Taste and See Series: Psalms Preacher: Jared Blankenship Date: 5th July 2026 Passage: Psalm 34:1-22 [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+34%3A1-22&version=ESV] ------------------- "The power of the psalm derives from the authority of the singer, the King, whose exhortation and teaching to his people is rooted in his personal experience of salvation. The final test must not simply be that God has rescued this King from danger and death but that God has saved a final King out of death itself. The believer to whom this psalm ultimately points is the one who has been raised from the dead." -Christopher Ash The psalm has two clear sections. I want you to hear both as a personal call from King Jesus, for the salvation of God's people is bound up in the salvation of their King.

It equips us to joyfully worship the Lord at all times, for we are truly blessed to be His people.

Through the hardships, the temptation to turn back and leave the faith can seem impossible to resist. So in this final section of this letter, God calls us through Peter's writing to persevere—to be faithful to the end.
