Podcasts about Psalm 137

Join Rolf Jacobson, Kathryn Schifferdecker, and Craig Koester as they explore Jeremiah 29:1, 4-14 for Christ the King Sunday (November 23, 2025). This powerful episode examines Jeremiah's shocking letter to the Babylonian exiles, where God calls His people not to resist, but to settle down, build homes, and seek the welfare of the very city that conquered them. The hosts unpack the jarring nature of Jeremiah's message—marry, have children, pray for Babylon—in contrast to the rage expressed in Psalm 137. They explore how this ancient text speaks to anyone finding themselves in an unexpected place or life circumstance, offering hope through one of Scripture's most famous promises: "For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope" (Jeremiah 29:11). This episode offers fresh perspective on exile, hope, and what it means to live faithfully in a mixed society while maintaining covenant relationship with God. Perfect preparation for Advent's themes of hope and waiting.

Hate may feel powerful, but it cannot deliver what it promises. It silences our deeper emotions, cuts us off from real community, and leaves us vulnerable to destructive patterns of thought and action. It cannot build the world we long to see, not in our neighborhoods and not in our own hearts. Together we'll confront the dead end of hate and turn toward a path that can lead us out of it.

Devin & Tim discuss the challenging Psalm 137 on this Pause Podcast episode, exploring worship during Babylonian captivity. They address how to praise God in difficult circumstances, the power of music in faith, and finding freedom to feel emotions while trusting God's justice. Devin gives a personal testimony about his mother's cancer diagnosis which helped illustrate what it looks like to worship through pain. The episode also emphasizes community support, authentic prayer, and God's presence in foreign lands & showing Scripture's raw honesty about human emotion and divine justice.

This week, Pastor Alex invites us to examine our anger honestly. Whether you're carrying resentment or just feeling stuck, Jesus meets us there with grace, not shame. In this message, we'll explore how the way of Jesus leads us toward healing, freedom, and restored relationships. Come be encouraged as we learn to let go and live in the fullness of His love.

In part 4 of our Summer Psalms message series, we unpack Psalm 137 and how there's a time and a place to worship faithfully.

Title: Psalm 137: An Imprecatory Psalm Text: Psalm 137 Speaker: Lance Williams Date: July 13, 2025

Tim explores Psalm 137, a challenging passage about the Israelites' captivity in Babylon. He addresses spiritual captivity, the power of praise despite difficult circumstances, and finding freedom to feel emotions while trusting God's justice. The message emphasizes how worship isn't limited to location or circumstances, encouraging believers to praise God even in "foreign lands" of struggle. Tim discusses the importance of community, the Holy Spirit's help, and processing difficult emotions like anger through faith rather than remaining stuck in them.#psalms, #spiritualcaptivity, #praise, #biblicalanger, #worship, #freedom, #feelemotions, #sundaymessage, #neighborhoodchurch

Some of the best songs are summer songs. Here's a good one from Psalm 137! You can “sing” and find contentment in unfamiliar places because God keeps His promises.

By the waters of Babylon,     there we sat down and wept,     when we remembered Zion. 2 On the willows there     we hung up our lyres. 3 For there our captors     required of us songs, and our tormentors, mirth, saying,     “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”4 How shall we sing the Lord's song     in a foreign land? 5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem,     let my right hand forget its skill! 6 Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth,     if I do not remember you, if I do not set Jerusalem     above my highest joy!7 Remember, O Lord, against the Edomites     the day of Jerusalem, how they said, “Lay it bare, lay it bare,     down to its foundations!” 8 O daughter of Babylon, doomed to be destroyed,     blessed shall he be who repays you     with what you have done to us! 9 Blessed shall he be who takes your little ones     and dashes them against the rock!1.     Does being angry make you uncomfortable? Is it something you resist or try not to acknowledge?2.     Is it comforting or upsetting that God gets angry? What do you think of God giving us angry words to bring to him?3.     Has anger or another strong emotion ever kept you from being able to worship? Do you agree that praying your anger might lead to a spiritual breakthrough?4.     Can you trust God with all the injustice you've experienced or witnessed? Explain.5.     Do you ever hesitate to pray something that might be theologically incomplete or inaccurate? Does this passage give you permission to?6.     Are you open to God responding to your anger and asking you questions? Do you see Jesus as the one who meets you in your trauma, as well as the one who redeems traumatizers? Can you accept that?

Summer of Psalms | 7.6.25 | Psalm 137 by Refuge Community Church

Guest: Wade Bearden

This is part six in our Summer of Psalms series. Pastor Thom preached from Psalm 137 at Springbrook Church in Antigo, WI.

What's the deal with incense? What is the role of incense in the Bible? In today's episode, Ben Krejci talks with Watermark Worship Pastor, Jon Abel, about Psalms 137-143. Jon helps us understand why incense is referenced in the Psalms and it's role in other places in Scripture. Additional References: Exodus 30:1-10; 34-38Respond in worship with Psalm 139 by Leeland: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrvDfU65vCQ

Psalm 137 is a raw lament that teaches us to bring our honest emotions—anger, grief, or frustration—before God in times of suffering or injustice. Rather than holding on to bitterness, we're called to reorient our hearts to God's greater purpose and trust His perfect justice, finding peace through the cross of Christ.
