*To the chief Musician upon Neginah, A Psalm of David.*
Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
(Psalms 61:1-2)
*1/ David's Rock - Christ.
2/ David's cry - what he mentions in prayer.*
**Sermon Summary:**
This sermon centers on Psalm 61, portraying a soul overwhelmed by distress yet finding hope in God as the unchanging, living Rock—Jesus Christ, the only true salvation.
It emphasizes that even the godly David, despite his closeness to God, experienced feeling ready to sink, and fail and die, demonstrating that spiritual lows are not signs of unfaithfulness but opportunities for divine lifting.
The sermon unpacks the metaphor of the rock as Christ, drawing from Scripture to show how He is the foundation, refuge, and source of living waters, uniquely sufficient and eternally reliable.
It highlights the power of prayer, particularly David's cry to be led to the Rock when overwhelmed, underscoring that God not only provides salvation but actively guides the broken-hearted into His presence.
Through reflection on Christ's identity as the cornerstone, the smitten rock, and the source of eternal life, the sermon calls believers to trust in Him alone, find refuge in His strength, and experience transformation through prayer, where the heart moves from despair to praise.
