Psalm 89 - Promises or Lies?

Featured Teacher: Daniel Christensen

What do you do when God's promises look like lies? Psalm 89 tackles this question head-on. Written by Ethan the Ezraite during Israel's darkest hour—after Solomon's kingdom split in two—this psalm moves from soaring praise to devastating accusation before resolving in unexpected worship. Ethan teaches us the posture of biblical lament: approaching God first as worshipers, then as petitioners. The Davidic covenant that seemed broken found its fulfillment centuries later in Christ, who entered fully into the psalm's suffering before rising victorious.
