After Saul's death, an Amalekite man comes to David claiming that he is the one who killed Saul, thinking he will be rewarded for his deed since Saul pursued David for so long. To say that David is displeased with this report, however, is an understatement. After a period of mourning for the house of Saul, David is anointed king in Judah, but Abner, the commander of Saul's army, has other plans. He crowns Saul's son Ish-bosheth as king, accumulates power for himself, and fights against David's soldiers. Eventually, Abner concedes, but not without gaining a few enemies within David's camp. 2 Samuel 1 - 1:08 . 2 Samuel 2 - 6:08 . 2 Samuel 3 - 13:37 . 2 Samuel 4 - 22:53 .

Sermon summary Florence preaches on Psalm 77 as part of a series on lament, trust, and praise, focusing especially on lamenting unanswered prayer. She begins by naming the "noise inside our heads" — worry, doubt, distress — and explains that the Bible does not sugarcoat painful realities. Biblical lament is presented as a faithful practice: crying out to God, bringing complaints honestly, asking God to act, remembering what he has done, and ultimately reaffirming trust. Psalm 77 shows Asaph in deep distress. He cries out to God, prays through the night, cannot sleep, and asks raw questions about whether God has rejected him or forgotten to be compassionate. Florence emphasises that these honest questions are included in Scripture, showing that God can be approached with raw emotion. The turning point comes when Asaph chooses to remember God's past faithfulness. His focus shifts from his circumstances to God's character. Florence draws out four movements in the psalm: Asaph looks around, looks in, looks up, and looks back. Remembering God's works leads him to praise God's holiness, power, and faithfulness. The sermon then points to the Exodus, where God made a way through the Red Sea — "a pathway no one knew was there." Florence applies this to those who feel trapped in sorrow or weariness, suggesting that God may still be leading them through, even when they cannot yet see the way. Finally, she connects the "way" to Jesus Christ, who calls himself the way in John 14:6. Unlike Asaph, Christians can also look forward to the hope of eternal life, where God will wipe away every tear. The closing encouragement is: whatever is happening in life, look around, look in, look up, look back, and look forward. 00:00 Introduction: the noise inside our heads 01:21 The Bible does not sugarcoat reality 01:36 Recap of the lament, trust, praise series 02:42 What biblical lament is 04:08 "Hallelujah Anyway" and remembering God's goodness 05:13 Psalm 77: lamenting unanswered prayer 06:37 Asaph looks around: crying out to God 08:23 Crying out as a faith-filled step 09:55 Asaph names his struggle and complaint 11:06 Lament is not a quick formula 12:04 God's timetable and growing trust 13:41 Asaph's honest questions to God 15:30 Raw questions are welcomed in Scripture 16:20 The mismatch between belief and experience 17:17 God's character is reliable despite our feelings 18:53 The dark before the dawn 19:14 Asaph looks in: remembering what God has done 20:46 The importance of what we think about 22:48 Asaph looks up: praising God's character 23:40 Remembering God's works leads to praise 25:04 Practising praise in private prayer 25:49 Keeping our eyes on Jesus 27:00 Asaph looks back: God's rescue at the Red Sea 28:27 Feeling trapped in sorrow or hopelessness 29:21 A pathway no one knew was there 30:45 Jesus as the road, the way 31:50 Following Jesus does not exempt us from sorrow 32:27 Summary: look around, in, up, and back 33:39 Christians can also look forward 34:43 The future hope of no more tears 35:03 Closing encouragement: look around, in, up, back, and forward

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: TODAY'S DEVOTION: You are rich. Did you know it? Paul says that those riches were achieved because someone else became poor. And that someone is Christ. Christ became poor so that by his poverty he could make you rich. Jesus took our poverty upon Himself in order to bestow on us his riches of sonship. That makes you wealthy, that makes you blessed, that makes you His. He has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because you are united with Christ. These are heavenly riches. But these spiritual riches work their way into our physical lives. They free us up to live generous lives here right now. And to the extent that we truly understand this will result in generous hearted living. Paul wants us to follow through with the generosity that was born in our hearts. He doesn't want us to stall out. He wants us to finish whatever it is that God inspired you to do. Maybe it's offering a meal to someone who's sick, spending time with someone who really needs it, giving financially to someone in need, helping to advance the cause of the gospel, as was the case of this particular passage. Whatever it is, don't stall out. Finish what God has inspired you to do. Live out your generous life because you are rich and your spiritual wealth comes from Him. May this inspire you to live out the riches that are yours in Christ. Don't stall out on those things that God inspires you to do, but rather live them out in the joy and the strength and in the presence of Christ who dwells in you. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. And that's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so.

TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we sit with Psalm 77, a passage that begins exactly where many of us have been—awake at 2 a.m., exhausted, anxious, and wondering if God has gone quiet. As we walk through the psalm together, we make space for its honest questions without shaming them or building a whole theology from a moment of pain. We talk about how the psalm models a practical pattern for renewing the mind: naming distress, examining the conclusions our thoughts are drawing, remembering what God has done, and meditating on who God is.The turning point comes with the simple decision, “I will remember.” We discuss how attention and agency shape our spiritual and emotional lives, and why renewing the mind isn't pretending everything is fine. Christina shares from her breast cancer journey, where honesty and the choice to focus on life-giving truth meet in real time. We also explore the psalm's shift from “I” language to “You,” the powerful image of God's unseen footprints in the Red Sea, and the gentle reminder that the God who commands storms also shepherds His people with care.If this encouraged you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs it, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

Today’s Bible Verse: “I cried out to God for help; I cried out to God to hear me. When I was in distress, I sought the Lord; at night I stretched out untiring hands, and I would not be comforted.” — Psalm 77:1–2 Psalm 77:1–2 captures the honesty of a heart in deep distress. The psalmist doesn’t hide the struggle—he cries out repeatedly, reaching for God in the middle of sleepless nights and overwhelming emotion. It’s a picture of persistent prayer when comfort feels distant. “Want to listen without ads?

Julia chats with seminarian and sleep doctor, Dr. Ben Long, about healthy sleep practices and what the Bible has to tell us about God and sleep.
We tend to think that our personal struggles are unique to our era, but many of our modern problems have very ancient solutions.
IntroductionThis sermon addresses the reality of the "dark night of the soul"—those seasons where God remains silent despite persistent prayer. By examining Psalm 77, we explore the tension between deep personal suffering and the historical faithfulness of God. Using the Exodus story as a backdrop, we see how the biblical pattern of "hiding before rescue" serves to prepare the heart for a more intimate revelation of the Divine.Scripture ReferencesPsalm 77: The lament of Asaph and the remembrance of God's wonders.Exodus 1–14: The narrative of revelation, rescue, and recompense.Matthew 27:46: Jesus' cry of dereliction on the cross.Ephesians 2:4-7: God's mercy in making us alive with Christ.Key PointsThe Honesty of Lament: Asaph models a faith that is not afraid to cry out. Bringing raw emotion, insomnia, and even "moaning" to God is a form of worship. The Psalms give us a vocabulary for pain when our own words fail.The Reality of Divine Silence: Silence from Heaven is a normal part of the Christian experience. It does not necessarily indicate unrepentant sin; often, it is a "divine peekaboo"—a purposeful hiding that focuses our attention and prepares us for a clearer revelation.The Weight of Remembrance: When feelings suggest God has forgotten to be gracious, we must intentionally shift the weight of our perspective to history. Asaph concludes that God's way is "holy" (set apart) by meditating on the Exodus.Building Personal and Community Monuments: Because we are prone to forget, we must create "altars"—recorded testimonies, family traditions, or shared community stories—that serve as tangible evidence of God's past faithfulness during current storms.The Ultimate Rescue: Our hope is anchored in the Gospel. Just as the Red Sea was parted, Christ entered the waters of death to provide the final rescue. His resurrection is the promise that every "hidden face" of God will eventually be revealed.ConclusionSuffering is not the end of the story, but the tilling of the soil. God's footprints may be unseen in the "great waters" of our lives, but He leads His people like a flock. Whether through personal history, the community of the church, or the ancient story of the Exodus, we find the strength to hold fast until the hands of God part and we see Him face to face.Calls to ActionRecord Your History: Start a "Family Poem" or a journal of "But God" moments to document specific instances of provision and rescue.Engage in Community: Share a testimony of grace with someone in your small group or pact to help build their faith.Pray the Psalms: This week, find a Psalm of lament that resonates with your current trial and pray it back to God as your own.

From Pastor David Peck | From the sermon series: Psalms of The Savior. The Psalms have much to offer God's people for relating to Him in worship, prayer and instruction. The Psalms also reveal more about our Savior who knew, sang and prayed the Psalms during His first coming. This series is intended to help believers see their Savior more clearly and grow in our worship. The Psalms also afford many opportunities to explain the Gospel and call upon nonbelievers to repent and place their faith in our wonderful Savior.

Psalm 77 - Abdel Judeh - Sunday Evening, January 25, 2026 by First Baptist Church of Hammond
Selah | Psalm 77 | Pastor Jon Adams So far in our Selah series, we've visited homes overwhelmed by stress and homes in seasons of success. But in every neighborhood, there are also homes that may look fine on the outside, but inside something has gone terribly wrong. Homes that are in crisis, overwhelmed by loss, fear, and pain. This Sunday, we'll drop back into the life of Jesus, right when he is experiencing the greatest crisis moment of his life. We'll see how he responds to that moment, and learn to Selah alongside him in another psalm—this time, Psalm 77. Whether it's every once in a while, every day, or every moment, if you're experiencing loss, fear, or pain, this Sunday we'll learn how to follow Jesus' example as he found Selah in crisis.
Preacher: John Hudson Today John Hudson is preaching through Psalm 77, a Psalm of lament that invites us to call out to God in difficult times. It shows us how suffering can be powerfully transformative, can reveal God's grace, and can be more easily endured when we remember what God has done in the past. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia. We exist to be a community of people helping people make allbecau of life all about Jesus.
Besides God, there is no God. There are lots of distractions out there trying to pull your attention in different directions. Despite the daily deluge of doctrines and dogmas, one God remains in control through it all, and that's the God of the Bible – the one true God that can give you eternal life if you turn to Him. Pastor Mark is going to remind you in today's message that God is the only true God. With so many beliefs and doctrines in the world today, it can be overwhelming just to know what's true. That's where faith and the Bible come in. You'll know the God of the Bible is the true God when you experience the joy only He can give.

Send me a Text Message!Psalm 77 is the heart cry of a person who is waiting for bad stuff to stop and good stuff to start. He has found himself in a season of deep trouble, days when God seems absent at best, times when he cries out to God but finds no comfort for his soul. But even in this deep trouble, he finds a way to practice gratitude. How about you, have you find a way, even in deep trouble, to still be grateful? That's the focus of this gratitude pause.
