Sunday's Scripture Lesson: Psalm 88
"The long and winding road that leads to your door will never disappear."
This week in our sermon series "The Gospel According to the Beatles" Pastor Charlie reflected with us on The Beatles' song "The Long and Winding Road" by Paul McCartney. Drawing parallels between the song and examples of biblical lament found in Psalm 88, he0 examin0ed00 the importance of expressing our struggles, the role of faith in overcoming feelings of despair, and the comforting belief that God is always with us. Be inspired by this encouraging message of hope.
Questions for Reflection:
1. What role does honest expression of doubt and despair play in a healthy spiritual life?
2. What parallels do you see between Paul McCartney's songwriting process and the writing of the Psalms?
3. How can we cultivate a faith that acknowledges both the reality of suffering and the promise of God's presence?
