    One of the hardest things for Christians to do is to wait on God. The story of the resuscitation of Lazarus tells us many important things as we wait on God in what we think is a hopeless situation.

    John 11:1-45 “When God Delays” INTRODUCTION One of the most difficult situations in the Christian life is when God remains silent to our prayers. Faye and I have good friends who have two teenagers. Their son has been diagnosed with ADD, and he has been treated for this ...read more

    God doesn’t work on our timelines but does work out all things for our good under His time frame

    Introduction: God’s ways are not our ways. His ways are above us. Some storms are of our own making, some are from the effects of something others may do. Some God allows, like the one in out text. For those that are Children of God, those that love God All things work together for good. ...read more

    God calls us all to something within the body of Christ. Do we listen and respond to God or go spiritually deaf?

    What does it mean when God (Jesus) sits?

    WHEN JESUS SITS As a father, I have had moments in the lives of my children that I was so overwhelmingly proud of them I did not know what to do or how to act. As I think back on these special memories, I recall doing something that almost seemed inappropriate for the moment. What I was ...read more

    This sermon teaches you how to respond when God says no (to your requests).

    Has God ever said no to something you desired? Maybe you asked for a new job, a change of career, a new house or a similar request. In I Samuel 8 we find an occasion when God’s people requested something they did not need. When they prayed God told them, no! The people had prayed that Samuel would ...read more

    Each of us has or will ask God, why? Why is this thing happening in my life? It does not necessarily mean that we have no faith in God, it just shows our human frailty and perhaps our desire to know and understand Him. We live in what I call the Star Trek

    Many times in life we may feel that the Lord is invisible. You feel that God has not been fair. This message will help you discover where the Lord is when He seems invisible...

    When God disappears from your life… Many times in life it appears that God is not present. What do you do when you feel that God has forgotten you? You reaffirm Him as your messiah. Messiah means to the Jewish culture “this is who we are hanging our hat on, we will rest all of our ...read more

    Like Paul, we all have a "thorn in the flesh." We can learn from Paul that God allows it, Satan sends it, and we can accept it. Because when we are weak, then we are strong, with God's strength on display through our weakness.

    2 Corinthians 12:7-10 When God Says No Have you ever received a “no” answer from God? It hurts, right? You think you know best, you really do. And then God says, “I don’t think so.” Well, it particularly hurts when you’ve been suffering, and not only does God not remove the suffering, but maybe ...read more

    We all have times of dryness in our relationship with God, and it could be for a variety of reasons. But sometimes it's because we harbor unconfessed sin our life. Isaiah gives us a path forward, a way to renew our relationship with the Lord.

    Isaiah 64:1-9 When God Hides Have you ever had a winter season of faith? You pray, but your prayers seem to bounce off the ceiling? You wonder if you really know God, or if God knows you? Philip Yancey, in his book, “Reaching for the Invisible God,” writes: “I experienced the sense of abandonment ...read more

    We long to be liberated from our brokenness adn to experience redemption for ourselves and our relationships. We keep waiting for God to come and fix things.

    “Questions About God: When Will God Come?” Luke 21:25-28 In that great movie “Field of Dreams”, Ray Kinsella hears a mysterious voice prompting, “If you build it, he will come.” So Ray builds a ball field in the middle of his Iowa cornfield. Soon persons from ...read more

    Are we reluctant or willing when God commissions us? Jonah is a great study in God's heart verses our own when it comes to mercy and grace.

    Join me in a look at Jonah. 2 Kings 14: 23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel, became king in Samaria, and reigned forty-one years. 24 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD; he did not depart from all the sins of Jeroboam ...read more

    When we cry out to God and nothing happens, how can we help but feel something's not quite right. We oftentimes suggest that the problem is on the side of God and not on the side of the Listener. Be assured God does respond.

    There are times in the Christian life where it seems as though God has become as an enemy to us. In our passage, Jeremiah likens God to an enemy because of His wrath on Judah. Though we are saved from the fullness of God’s wrath, we still have experiences

    Intro: Before salvation, we were truly the enemies of God (Rom. 5:10). At salvation we were reconciled through the Person and finished work of His Son Jesus.
