Hope in Hard Times When Life Is Broken

From YouTube

Description

Hard times can stack up until your family, your job, your health and the news all feel broken at once. God still has an answer when life is broken. He redeems the broken places in your life, keeps his promises, and finds new ways to reach people, even in exile and even in a pandemic. In this sermon, Pastor Kaloma Smith of UAMEZ Church in Palo Alto, California preaches on Lamentations 5 and shows how the prayer at the end of one of the Bible's hardest books got answered. Questions this sermon answers How do you find hope in hard times? Look at what God has already done: exile was not the end for his people, and God still steps into the broken places in your life to redeem them. How do you trust God in times of uncertainty? Trust the God who keeps his promises, the same God who promised a redeemer and kept that promise in Jesus, so you don't have to live as a defeated person.
