  • Prayer as Lament & Imprecatory Prayer
    Aug 21 2025

    Have you ever felt too broken, too angry, or too lost to bring your pain to God? Through Psalm 88's raw lament, Pastor James unveils a transformative truth: our despair doesn't frighten God. Drawing from biblical examples like Haman and David, he shows how Scripture invites us to bring our unfiltered anguish before the throne—no polite spiritual facades required. Whether you're wrestling with depression, doubt, or life's darkest valleys, this powerful message reveals how God's unwavering presence, not our perfect prayers, is our ultimate hope. Don't miss this honest exploration of authentic faith that could revolutionize your prayer life and deepen your relationship with a God who welcomes all of who you are. Sermon 8-17-25
