    When God Seems Slow

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 25, 2025
     | 77 views

    When God seems slow, fear builds idols. Trust Jesus, who breaks our false gods and restores us to the only Savior worth waiting for.

    Introduction — The Silence That Feels Dangerous They waited. Moses went up the mountain to talk with God. Israel watched him go until he was only a speck on the slope…and then he disappeared into the cloud of glory. The first day, there was awe. The third day, curiosity. By day ten…whispers.

    Following Jesus: It’s long hours, hard work, costly, and a little bit crazy, but would we ever consider changing positions and serving someone else? Not a chance!

    I thought that I finally had a totally positive sermon for you today! I’ve been under rather trenchant criticism of late for repeatedly giving sermons focused on the theme of judgement and on the hard path of discipleship, and I admit that I have been looking for that text, "Come to me, all ye who ...read more

    As a child I was more serious about avoiding Hell than going to Heaven. My knowledge of Heaven was inaccurate. A biblical understanding of Heaven creates a longing to go there.

    based on 21 ratings
     | 14,228 views

    Nehemiah knows what to request because he did his homework. During his time of waiting he used it to prepare for God’s purpose in his life.

    Nehemiah 2 (Third message in our stody of Nehemiah) Background: Nehemiah – a cupbearer for King Artaxerxes is upset over the destruction of his homeland in Jerusalem.

    This story places the Israelites’ emotional development pretty squarely in the adolescent stage, because they behaved just like a bunch of teenagers left too long with the keys to the wine cellar.

    How many of you have children? Did you have any idea, while you were painting the nursery and picking out your first set of onesies, how much of your life would get taken over? Children take a huge amount of time and attention. And of course it gets worse when they start to crawl and then to walk ...read more

    God has a pile of gifs that He wants you to have. But He doesn’t want to wait for a specific time or day; He wants you to open them now.

    Since patience means “slow to get angry,” we’ll focus on some of those things that cause us to burn with anger so that we can learn the discipline of waiting

    Stirring The Nest Series

    based on 7 ratings
     | 19,606 views

    The nest is comfortable. It is safe, warm, secure and only for a season. You can’t stay in the nest forever. If you stay there too long, then it is no longer an incubator, but a coffin!

    "Outed” Pt. 1 Text: Deut. 32:11 "Like an eagle that stirs up its nest and hovers over its young, that spreads its wings to catch them and carries them on its pinions.” NIV “He was like an eagle hovering over its nest, overshadowing its young, Then spreading its wings, lifting them into the air, ...read more

    Sarah Laughed in unbelief, but God transformed her unbelief, changing her laughter to the expression of joy. God longs to transform the one who is honest before Him.

    “[The angels charged with the destruction of Sodom] said to [Abraham], ‘Where is Sarah your wife?’ And he said, ‘She is in the tent.’ The LORD said, ‘I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife shall have a son.’ And Sarah was listening at the tent door behind him. ...read more
