Crying Out In The Darkness

About this episode

This sermon explores the themes of lament and faith through the lens of Psalm 88, emphasizing the importance of bringing our struggles to God.

"Psalm 88 is one of the most honest prayers in all of Scripture. There is no neat resolution, no quick victory, and no easy answer to the pain. In this message, we explore how God invites us to bring our darkest fears, deepest grief, and hardest questions directly to Him. When life feels overwhelming and God seems silent, Psalm 88 reminds us that faith is not the absence of struggle—it is the willingness to keep turning toward God in the middle of it. Whether you are walking through suffering, wrestling with doubt, or standing alongside someone in a season of darkness, this sermon points us to the God who hears every cry. Together, we’ll see that even when hope feels distant, God’s presence remains near. Join us as we discover how honest lament can deepen our trust in Jesus and shape us into people who hold fast to God’s promises, even in the longest night."
