    I am not very good at waiting. Are you? I do not like to sit and twiddle my thumbs waiting for something to happen. Do you remember that in days past shoe repair shops would advertize, “Shoes repaired while you wait”? You would go in, sit down, take off your old clodhoppers, and turn them in, ...read more

    Like the woman at the well, we are thirsty for salvation, and Jesus waits for us with living water at the well.

    Introduction: Our reading today is so completely rich with meaning that I am going to go through it verse by verse. I hope in this way to open the text that it might address us where we are, for Christ always comes to us no matter where we are. Prayer: Lord God, we come thirsty. We live in a ...read more

    Instead of focusing on how to "make" things happen, we should focus on two things.

    God’s Waiting Room Pastor Leslie A. Rutland-Tipton I had ten minutes to make it to my meeting. Which was perfect, because the meeting began in ten minutes. And even though I left the house late, I was, now, right on time. And then I hit the traffic, oddly enough, right at my exit. I thought, ...read more

    Waiting on God and moving when He tells us is a sign of obedience. He blesses those that are sensitive to His guidance and accomplishing what He desires for our lives.

    They that wait on the Lord Isaiah 40:28-31 Introduction- Turn to Isaiah 40 This has been one of those weeks where I found myself asking God… how do I get done what I need too because it was a week that was so demanding.

    For each of us, waiting on the Lord is a continual, daily decision. In our hearts I hope we would pray, “God, while I wait, I will trust you and I will follow you and be faithful to you, even when the circumstances of my life are not turning out the way I planned it.

    Acts 1:12-26 12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away. 13 When they had entered the city, they went up to the upstairs room where they were staying, that is, Peter, John, James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, ...read more

    Life is full of highs and lows, from the mountain top to the valley; and God’s people were in a low spot. If Judah would learn to "wait on the Lord," then God would enable them to fly, run and walk across the finish line to victory!

    Wait Upon the Lord Isaiah 40:27-31 I’ve entitled our message this morning, “Wait Upon the Lord,” but I could have easily justified calling it “Fly, Run and Walk,” and you’ll see why as we continue along. But since much of the message is focused on flying, I want to open with an illustration that ...read more
