Songs of the Soul | Cursing Prayers | Psalm 137

In this message we'll explore one of the most challenging and disturbing types of biblical poetry: The Imprecatory Psalms.
These scriptures take pain and suffering to a whole new level by asking God to pour out that pain and suffering on our enemies!
How do we reconcile the harsh words of Psalm 3:7, "Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked!" with the command of Jesus to “love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you"? They seem completely contradictory, yet both are in the bible!
Join us as we look into Psalm 137 - one of the most vicious prayers you might ever read - and see how it applies to followers of Jesus today.

Everyone just stop pretending that the Bible is entirely divinely inspired and coherent. It’s not. It’s the words of many different mere men saying their own thoughts.
