Laments

Series: The School of Prayer

In this profound and emotionally stirring conclusion to his series, Ralph Walker addresses a topic rarely discussed: lamenting. Using Scripture, including the Psalms, Job, Lamentations, and the cries of Jesus and Paul, Ralph unpacks the biblical practice of lamenting as a faithful way to process grief, anger, despair, and doubt. He challenges the notion that Christians should always suppress sorrow or "sing above" their pain, advocating instead for honest, heartfelt cries to God.

Listeners will learn how lamenting allows them to acknowledge grief, share in the empathy of others, wrestle with God, and ultimately affirm His goodness even amidst the darkest circumstances. Ralph reminds us that lamenting is not about losing faith but expressing it—trusting God to carry us through pain toward renewed hope and praise. This sermon is a must-listen for anyone navigating life's hardships and seeking biblical guidance for turning sorrow into trust and worship.
