If I were to pinch you - you might cry out: "youch!" Yet many people - when facing difficult situation in life - refuse to cry out. They're told to "tough it out." "Be strong." "Don't let it get to you."
This pattern exists even for Christians who may be inclined to respond to all of their suffering with a simple: "God is good all the time. All the time, God is good."
While true - - it's not the language the Bible itself gives us to speak to our suffering.
In this sermon, Pastor Kevin unpacks the "lament" of Psalm 44. In it, we see the trouble, turn, and trust of the Psalmist and we are invited to consider how we respond to suffering.
