St Peters Orthodox Church

Today we begin a teaching series entitled "God in the Midst of our Suffering." It is in this introduction to the series that we acknowledge our need to rediscover the Christian language of lament to God. In this life in a post-fallen world, we all will endure times of great suffering. But how do we reach out to God in times of suffering and how does God walk with us through these times? If left to ourselves, our humanity, the sufferings in this world produce nothing but further brokenness and dysfunction. But because of God, who He is, and what He does on our behalf, even the most significant suffering turns to redemption and the opportunity to grow from knowing about Him to truly knowing Him.
