Hello brothers and sisters,
Having concluded two sermon series last Sunday, my plan is to preach on five psalms in the morning and five parables from Luke in the evening before starting Revelation in the morning and 2 Chronicles in the evening. So my sermon in the morning service this Sunday will be on Psalm 112, “Blessed Is the Man Who Fears the Lord.” My sermon in the evening service will be on Luke 8:4-15, “The Parable of the Sower.” The 10:00 am lesson will be on chapters 14-15 of Thomas Watson’s book, Heaven Taken by Storm.
Recordings from Last Sunday
Lesson: Reproof to Those Not Offering Violence
Morning Sermon: Moses and Elijah (Malachi 4:4-6)
Evening Sermon: David’s Census (2 Samuel 24)
Midweek Meeting
Our midweek meeting on Wednesdays at 7:00 pm is held at the Bringe home. The current series is based on J. Gresham Machen’s book, The New Testament: An Introduction to Its Literature and History. This week, we will read and discuss the chapter on the epistle of Hebrews (chapter 33).

OPC at 90 Years
June 11th was the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. The PCA’s By Faith Magazine has an article celebrating this anniversary written by Dennis Johnson, who was a fellow student with Greg Bahnsen and who served in the OPC before serving in the PCA: Celebrating 90 Years of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church.
Here is a timeline history of the denomination, including events that led to its formation, that I put together a couple years ago: A History of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. This timeline was adapted from talks I gave in this series on American Presbyterian history: American Presbyterian History.
The Bible and Abortion
This November, Missouri will vote on Amendment 3, which would repeal the old Amendment 3 (which established a supposed right to abortion in Missouri’s constitution in 2024) and prohibit gender transition procedures for minors. Since I anticipate the issue of abortion will be discussed more and more this year, I thought I would share again a couple posts of mine on the topic:

Pastor Peter Bringe
Covenant Family Church is a conservative, Bible-believing, and elder-governed congregation located in Wentzville, MO which seeks to evangelize the lost and equip those who have been converted to walk worthy of their calling in Christ. 
The Orthodox Presbyterian Church continues to be vigorous in its defense and propagation of the historic Christian faith, particularly as it was articulated by the Protestant Reformers of the 16-17th centuries.
