Part 5 | In the Bleeding and the Blessing

<p>Pastor Caleb continues our series <em><strong>Walking Home</strong></em> with a look at the prayer life of a disciple. Throughout Scripture we see the people of God come to Him with boldness and honesty through the practice of lament. More than a doubtful complaint levied at God's character, prayers of lament represent pleas from the faithful for God to be who He has promised to be. These prayers represent a critical component in the development of our faith. They guide us through sorrows that all humanity experiences by anchoring us to a God who is present and compassionate. Pastor Caleb takes a look at Psalm 22, which Jesus famously quotes as he is first set on his cross. On the lips of a suffering savior, we see in lament the power of God abiding with us in pain and preparing us for praise.</p><p><br /></p><p>⁠⁠⁠<strong>⁠⁠⁠⁠</strong>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=psalm%2022&amp;version=NIV" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"><strong>Psalm 22</strong></a>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (NIV)⁠⁠⁠</p><p><br /></p><p><em>If you would like to join us through this eight-week series as we work through a parallel discipleship course from our friends at Practicing the Way, please click </em><a href="https://the-garden-san-antonio-442289.churchcenter.com/people/forms/1253514" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠<em><strong>this link</strong></em>⁠⁠⁠⁠</a><em>, and we'll get back to you quickly with sign-up information and free resources.
