Between a Rock and a Hard Place

When God seems distant in life’s difficult circumstances, will we doubt his nearness and love? Does God care when we’ve been wronged and we long for vengeance? Where do we turn in the inevitable seasons of sorrow, longing, pain, or spiritual drought? In “Between a Rock and Hard Place,” we will survey the Psalms that give us a snapshot of the range of human emotions experienced by God’s people. We will find that the Psalms offer us a prescription for the soul that will equip us to navigate life’s challenges with honesty, trust, and a deepening faith in the LORD our Rock.
