Seasoned Voices of Praise
Title: Seasoned Voices of Praise Speaker: Bradley Hicks Series: 2025 Sunday Sermons Date: September 28, 2025 Bible: Psalm 34:1-19; Romans 15:4 The sermon, titled 'Seasoned Voices of Praise,' centers on the transformative power of Scripture in times of deep suffering, drawing from Romans 15:4 and Psalm 34 to illustrate how the lives of biblical figures like David and Joseph—marked by profound trials—became sources of enduring hope and spiritual wisdom. It emphasizes that the Scriptures were not written merely for intellectual understanding, but for the soul’s instruction, offering comfort and patience through the very experiences of those who endured hardship. The preacher argues that true faith is not found in the absence of pain, but in the sustained trust in God’s providence, as seen in David’s testimony of deliverance from despair, where his praise emerges not from ease, but from the hard-won wisdom of having been in the pit. The message calls believers to study Scripture not for trivia, but to grasp the weight of seasoned voices—lived experiences of faith that carry divine authority and comfort—and to pass on such wisdom to future generations, redeeming suffering through testimony and grace.
