  • Week 7: Walk By Faith, Not By Sight Series

    Contributed by Daniel Habben on May 23, 2021
     | 4,065 views

    Does God really exist? How do I know if I can't see him?

    The noted actor and movie director Woody Allen once expressed his skepticism about God’s existence like this. “If God would only speak to me—just once. If he’d only cough. If I could just see a miracle. If I could see a burning bush, or the seas part. If only God would give me a clear sign, like ...read more

    Contributed by Dr. Jonathan Vorce on May 29, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,007 views

    Silence has a language all its own. Some of the hardest things to handle are the times in our lives when God seems like He is a million miles away and is not answering our prayers. In this message, Dr. Vorce addresses how to process the "silent times" in our lives.

    Job 23:8-12, 16; Genesis 16 & Genesis 21 Introduction: • Silence has a language all its own. • Some of the hardest things to handle are the times in our lives when God seems like He is a million miles away and is not answering our prayers. • God promised in His Word to always be there, but ...read more

     | 6,387 views

    The first subject that James addresses in his letter is how to face our trials. His suggestion is shocking: we should welcome our trials with joy. But his reason for the suggestion makes sense when you understand things from God's perspective.

    A. In Max Lucado’s book, In The Eye Of The Storm, he tells a story about a parakeet named Chippie. 1. Chippie the parakeet never saw it coming -one second he was peacefully perched in his cage, and the next he was sucked in, washed up and blown over. 2. The problem began when Chippie’s owner ...read more

    This is the fourth sermon in a series of messages called, "When Life Takes a Turn for the Worse."

    We are currently doing a series of studies on the book of Job, which records the struggles of a good man whose life took a turn for the worse. You remember.

    “ But He knows the way I take; when He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.” (Job 23:10). It is obvious that in reading through the book of Job, suffering is the central theme. Untold volumes of sermons, studies, and debates have sprung forth over the centuries on why we go through hard ...read more

  • Part 1: The Hidden God (Deus Absconditus) Series

    Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Jan 20, 2026
     | 188 views

    Where is God when prayers go unanswered and suffering remains? This sermon walks through Job 23 to reveal what God is doing when He seems absent.

    There is a particular kind of loneliness that comes not from isolation, but from silence in the midst of relationship. A spouse who refuses to speak. A parent who withholds explanation. A trusted friend who goes quiet when you need them most. And perhaps most troubling of all, a God who seems ...read more

  • Part 2: The Refiner's Fire (Divine Refinement And Trust) Series

    Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Jan 20, 2026
     | 204 views

    In the last sermon, we explored the mystery of God's hiddenness. We acknowledged that God is often silent and our hearts cry out for Him to speak. But silence, we learned, does not mean absence. God is hidden from our perception, but not withdrawn from His work.

    Today, we turn to perhaps the most difficult question of all. If God is silent and yet still working, what exactly is He doing? What is the purpose of the silence? Why does God allow us to walk through seasons where prayer seems unanswered, where Scripture feels distant, where we cannot sense His ...read more

  • Part 3: Silence As Spiritual Refinement Series

    Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Jan 21, 2026
     | 131 views

    Job sits in ashes demanding answers from God. But instead of anger, he declares: "When He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold." This sermon unpacks what that means. God isn't punishing you in the silence. God is refining you.

    The Shift from Lament to Hope Something shifts in Job 23:10. After pages and pages of complaint, after rounds of friends insisting, he must have sinned, after crying out into a silent heaven, Job suddenly changes direction. Picture him there. Sitting in ashes. Scraping his skin with a broken piece ...read more

    Psalms 13:1-2 " How long, O Lord, will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart all the day? How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

    Psalm 13 captures David’s deep despondency and his struggle with God’s silence during a challenging period in the wilderness. This heartfelt lament reflects a profound sense of abandonment and a desperate plea for God’s intervention. David openly questions how long God will hide His face and ...read more
