About this sermon
There’s a startling confession hidden in the ancient hymnbook of Israel. Psalm 88 concludes with words that seem almost blasphemous for a worship song: “The only friend I have left is darkness.” No triumphant praise. No victorious declaration. Just raw, unfiltered honesty about living in prolonged suffering. Yet this psalm made it into Scripture for a reason. It’s there because darkness is part of the human experience—even for people of faith.
