The good news of Jesus is certainly a source of abundant joy. But in our desire to emphasize the joy of our faith, we Christians sometimes neglect the important role of lament in our relationship with God. The result is a kind of “toxic positivity,” where real suffering is unintentionally minimized and inauthenticity is inadvertently encouraged. So in today’s sermon, we’ll consider the vital practice of honest lament, how lament is modeled for us in Scripture, and how we can embrace lament for our spiritual health. Join us as we conclude a summer series full of cinematic references called, “Now Playing.”
