Listen "Fourth Sunday After Pentecost - Rev. William H. Lamar IV"
Episode Synopsis
In this week's sermon, Rev. William H. Lamar IV explores the themes of anguish, faith, and the necessity for a new form of expression in the face of suffering. Acknowleding that Job's story reflects our struggles with suffering, Rev. Lamar emphasizes the importance of voicing our pain and the need for a community that acknowledges bitterness and injustice. The sermon challenges traditional forms of worship and prayer, advocating for a more authentic and responsive approach to faith in times of crisis. Job's "anti-psalm" invites us, in times such as this, to have the courage to sing a different song!Scripture: Job 7:11-15“Therefore I will not restrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.12 Am I the Sea or the Dragon that you set a guard over me?13 When I say, ‘My bed will comfort me, my couch will ease my complaint,’14 then you scare me with dreams and terrify me with visions,15 so that I would choose strangling and death rather than this body.
