Lamentations and the Church
12/20/21 • 27 min
Today we conclude our Advent series on Lamentations. How do we Lament without turning in on ourselves and becoming hopelessly and helplessly self-centered, sinking into a pit of despair? Lamentations shows us how to turn lament into a work of justice and resisting of evil. And leads us to Jesus, Word become flesh, who dwelt among us, full of grace and truth.

The Man Speaks
Today we look at Lamentations 3, words spoken and penned by a Man (3:1), a man defined differently than the regular use of the word "man". This is a strong man, a man of valor. He expresses his afflictions and troubles, and then speaks out the only hopeful words in the book of Lamentations: God's faithfulness is new every morning.
