Stefan Johnson 5-5-2024 | When There’s Nothing Left but God

When everything crumbles—what’s left to say? Lamentations 5 is the final cry of a shattered people, and yet it pulses with one enduring hope: “Restore us to yourself, O Lord.”

In this message, Stefan Johnson brings us through the closing chapter of Lamentations, where the poet turns from documenting devastation to pleading with God for mercy and restoration. This final lament is raw, honest, and desperate—but it’s also deeply reverent. It doesn’t demand answers; it seeks the presence of the One who holds them.

This sermon will help you see that biblical lament isn’t about losing faith—it’s about bringing your deepest pain into the light of God's presence. If you’ve ever struggled with how to pray through suffering, or wondered where God is when life feels hopeless, this message will guide you into honest, humble dependence on the Lord.

You’ll walk away reminded that even in the silence, God invites His people to cry out—and that restoration begins with return.
