How long do we have to wait for things to change? In this first message of our “Lent and Lament” series, we explore what it means to be honest about pain, disappointment, and unanswered prayers, all without losing hold of hope. Drawing on Psalm 13, Romans 8, and Revelation, we examine the pattern of biblical lament (complaint, cry, consolation) and how naming our grief can deepen our faith rather than destroy it. If you are walking through a hard season, we invite you to bring your real questions and real pain into the presence of a God who sees, hears, and has not forgotten you.
