Psalms 42

About this sermon

What do you do when God feels distant and your soul feels overwhelmed? In Psalm 42–43, Pastor Ken Addison shows us how to acknowledge our suffering honestly without surrendering to despair. These psalms teach us to thirst for God, remember His steadfast love, fight for faith, and preach gospel hope to our souls. Because Jesus bore God’s judgment in our place, everyone who trusts in Him can face suffering with the assurance that God remains our salvation, refuge, and exceeding joy.
