Sis. Cheryl Budworth
In a heartfelt and challenging message titled “Deep Calleth Unto Deep,” Sis. Cheryl Budworth reminds us that God’s presence is not found in the shallows, but in the depths. Preaching from Psalm 42 and weaving in personal testimony, Sis. Budworth paints a vivid picture of what it means for the deepest part of our need to cry out to the deepest part of God’s sufficiency. Just as David cried from the valley of despair—overwhelmed by wave after wave of trial—so we too are invited to let our longing, sorrow, and questions drive us into deeper intimacy with Christ. Shallow routines and surface religion will never satisfy. Only God’s love, wisdom, mercy, and Spirit can answer the cry of our souls. This message is both an encouragement and an invitation: don’t resist the storms, but let them draw you closer to God’s living water. Whether you are weary, thirsty, or longing for more, “Deep Calleth Unto Deep” will remind you that when your soul cries out, God always answers with His unsearchable depth of grace and truth.
