SERMON OUTLINE

HOW CAN WE SING IN A FOREIGN LAND?

Psalm 137

Is God really in control?

In moments of exile and suffering, Psalm 137 invites us to bring our unfiltered emotions to God so that we can get back to trusting in him.

Psalm 137 teaches us to:

1. Lament Honestly

2. Remember Faithfully

3. Hope in God’s Sovereignty

Our practical steps to growing in trust are:

1. Start a conversation

2. Be honest

3. Seek support

What do you need to bring to God this morning?

Daily Dwell: March 9-15

“How can we sing the songs of the L ord while in a foreign land?” - Psalm 137:4

MILESTONES

Just as families keep in touch about joys and sorrows, our church family at Peachtree wants to do the same. During your prayers this week, we ask you to lift up these people to God.
