26 Nov Mars Hill Bible Church: The Psalms + The Stars
On November 13, I had the honor of joining pastor A. J. Sherrill at Mars Hill Bible Church, in Grandville, MI in delivering a message on Psalm 13 and lament. Mars Hill is in the midst of a teaching series on the Psalms and the Stars — encountering the Psalms anew, with wonder. Pastor Sherrill begins with a stunning portrait of “black holes,” and the way in which Psalms of lament provide a way to pray to the Lord of the universe when our lives seem to implode. He unpacks how Psalm 13 reaches us in the “black holes” of abandonment, betrayal, agony, depression, shame, waiting, and mortality.
