God can seem so far away. We thirst for him. But the taunt 'Where is your God' drives our soul down all the more. Our hope thirsts for God. Only his word and sacraments satisfy that thirst, for they alone bring us our God. Parts: A. Enduring the taunt of others. B. Remembering the fellowship of God's people around God's word. Preached on August 11, 2013, for the Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost, at St. John's Ev. Lutheran Church (WELS), Hancock, MN. (Part one of a three part sermon series based on Psalm 42-43: Why Are You Downcast, O My Soul. Hope in God.) Print copy at:
