Sermon Series: What Are You Waiting For

Scripture: Isaiah 40: 27-31

Sermon: Waiting Well

Preacher: J.C. Fowler

Everyone faces seasons of waiting, whether for small daily annoyances or heavy life burdens. While biology and modern society make patience difficult, scripture offers a different perspective. Exploring Isaiah 40 reveals that waiting is not passive helplessness but a tension filled with hopeful anticipation. By remembering God's past faithfulness, frustration transforms into spiritual strength. Discover how to shift from unexpected delays to expectant hope, trusting that the Lord renews strength for those who wait on Him during this Advent season.

Faithwork Assignment:

Waiting is inevitable, but the mindset you adopt during these times is crucial. Take time to identify if you are currently waiting with frustration or with the hopeful anticipation that God is at work. Active remembering is a tool that fuels hope, so reflect on your life to find specific instances where you clearly saw God's faithfulness. Use those memories to help you trust Him in your current circumstances. Recognize that waiting is not the absence of God but often the place where He does His deepest work. Resist the temptation to take shortcuts and choose to rely on His character and His timing.

Advent Sermon Series - What Are You Waiting For:

The hymn, "O Come O Come Emmanuel" captures the spirit of advent. It tells of the deep longing for God to break into the world; a longing that was met with the birth of Jesus. This longing continues, as we wait with expectation for Jesus to come again, and again. Join us this advent as, along with the prophets of old, we await the coming of the Messiah.
