The weekly message from Community Church Edinburgh. This talk is from Sunday, 24th Aug 2025.As The Deer: Revisited – Despite being the source material for a famously pastoral and serene worship song about a deer panting for water (if you know it, you know it well), Psalm 42 is a song of disorientation and despair. In this lament, the psalmist candidly refers to struggles which cause them to feel distant from God, crying a refrain of “why, my soul are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me?” Perhaps this ancient saint's unabashed honesty can give us permission and courage to confront our own difficult emotions when our souls are downcast and God feels far away.

07/20/2025 Summer Road Trip PlaylistPsalm 42 Hope In Spiritual DroughtBig Idea: When your soul feels dry, hope in God brings refreshment.Spiritual thirst isn't a failure, it's a signal. Does your soul “pant” for God, or something else?When you face a spiritual and emotional wilderness, remember:1. God invites honesty in spiritual drought. v3-5a What have you been afraid to admit to God lately? How might you create space this week to be real with God through ‘pouring out your heart'? (Psalm 62:8; Lamentations 2:19)2. God anchors our hope in who He is, not how I feel. v5b-6, 11a Are you relying more on your feelings, or on God's faithfulness right now? What truth about God do you need to speak over your own soul this week? (Psalm 34:18, Jn 7:37, 1 Pet 5:7) Just because God is silent doesn't meant mean He's absent. Your present situation does not reflect how God feels about you. (Heb 10:23)3. God meet us in the depths. v7 What ‘depths' are you currently facing? Can you recall a time when God met you in a hard or hidden place? What was that like? (Matthew 1:23, John 14, Matthew 28:20b)4. God's love remains constant. v8 When have you sensed God's love, even during a spiritually dry season? What might it look like to rest in His love, instead of striving this week? (Lamentations 3:22; Zephaniah 3;17)Drought does not disqualify you from God's love!
Through worship, we come to know God for who He is and enter into relationship with Him.

Scripture Reading from Psalm 42-43 CSB (0:00)Sermon by Brandon Buller (3:10)
This text addresses the question, "Where is God when life hurts?" The writer assumes the presence of pain means the absence of God. Yet he instructs his soul to continue to hope and trust in the God of his salvation.
Intimacy with God doesn't eliminate struggles, but gives us a way through them

We can't fool God. He knows how we feel and what we want to say to Him. Hiding our feelings and holding our words doesn't help anything. Psalm 42 and 43 challenge us to feel what we need to feel and say what we need to say. We don't stop there! We can praise Him again.

Join Pastor Erica Giesow as she dives into Psalm 42 and we learn from the sons of Korah how to thirst for God in Week 3 of "Summer Playlist."
Send us a textIn this episode, we dive into the question, “What am I truly thirsting for?” We open a new series focused on caring for our bodies as sacred spaces, not problems to fix. Shifting our mindset in this way reshapes how we respond to emotional eating, self-image, and daily struggles. Drawing from Scripture, we reflect on the Hebrew idea of "thirst"—a deep, soul-level longing—and how only God's presence can satisfy that ache. Like the deer in Psalm 42, our hearts chase after true refreshment, yet we often settle for broken substitutes like food, performance, or approval.Christina shares a recent personal moment of emotional craving, where she realized her deeper need wasn't food—it was God's comfort in a hard place. We talk about how God meets us in our dry, weary spaces, just as seasonal rains bring new life to parched hills. We also offer a journaling prompt to help you name your own "dry places" and a breath prayer to connect with God in those moments. This episode is an invitation to see your body as already beloved and to tend to it with grace—because Jesus is present, even in your thirst.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org
