Psalm 88 Ewen Lin (Intro was missed due to techincal difficulties)

** Unfortunately due to technical difficulties the beginning of the sermon was missed**In summary Ewen spoke about some of the greatest difficulties Christians he has known have faced. He spoke of having to watch a mother turn off the life support for her child and a pastors wife being overcome by dementia in her 50s.  Home group questions: Questions were taken from  Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary: Exalting Jesus in Psalms 51–100 © Copyright 2020 by David Platt, Jim Shaddix, and Matt Mason.B&H Publishing GroupNashville, TennesseeAll rights reserved.ISBN: 978-1-5359-5213-2Why is there often a disconnect between what we know about God and how we feel and act?Consider the psalmist’s exchanges with God—the “I/you” statements. How do these statements reveal what is happening in the writer’s soul? If you were to make a list of “I/you” statements, what would they be during this season of your life? During a dark season of your life?Is it possible to have faith and feel that God is hiding his face from you? Why? Does right knowledge about God always yield sustaining belief? What makes the psalmist keep asking when his prayers were going unanswered?What happens when we use our feelings (instead of our knowledge of God through his Word) as an indicator of our faith and trust in God?When you feel like God has hidden himself from you, what choices are in front of you? Why should you choose to turn to him in prayer even though you may feel like he is not listening?If your faith is weak right now, how does the truth that Jesus was forsaken so you never will be forsaken encourage you to pray? (For personal reflection - Is there someone with whom you can share what you’re going through so that he or she can pray with you over your suffering? When will you share your struggles with them?)Send us Fan Mail
