Listen "When Life Hurts, Turn to the King"
Episode Synopsis
Psalm 9 - Speaker: Josh MacAvoy - Have you ever experienced a moment of pain and confusion that left you asking, “Where do I go?” or “What do I do now?” God’s Word doesn’t shy away from these difficult moments. Instead, it addresses them directly and offers guidance for how to respond. Throughout the Bible, we see faithful believers lamenting the brokenness of life—crying out to God, choosing to trust Him, and ultimately returning to praise.
Psalm 9 follows this same biblical pattern. At first glance, it appears to be mainly a psalm of praise. But just beneath the surface, we encounter deep expressions of pain and adversity. As we study this passage, we’re reminded of a powerful truth: when life hurts, turn to the King.
As you prepare for our time together on Sunday, take time to read through Psalm 9. Pay close attention to the many references to suffering and opposition. Also notice how often the psalm highlights God’s works, His character, and His role as our righteous King and Judge.
