The Suffering God

The Suffering God

 

This sermon explores Psalm 88, one of the darkest and most sorrowful psalms, emphasizing that God invites us to bring our honest pain and suffering to Him. The psalmist feels abandoned and overwhelmed, yet continues to cry out to God, showing that faith is often found in perseverance rather than easy answers. The message reminds us that Jesus fully understands our suffering, having endured separation and pain on the cross, and that God places us in community so we don’t walk through hardship alone. Ultimately, our hope is in God’s promise of eternal life where all pain and sorrow will one day end.
