Learning to Lament - Standalone Sermons

About this episode

This sermon discusses the discipline of lament as illustrated in Psalm 77, emphasizing God's faithfulness amidst suffering.

This sermon explores Psalm 77 and the powerful discipline of lament in the life of a believer. In a broken world marked by suffering, we are invited to turn to God, honestly pour out our hearts, and wrestle with real questions about His character. Rather than staying stuck in despair, the psalmist shows us how to speak truth to our hearts by remembering God’s faithfulness. Ultimately, our hope is anchored in the greatest act of deliverance—the cross of Jesus—reminding us that God is good, present, and trustworthy even when His ways are unseen.
