Here's what's happening at Stonebridge Community Church

When God's Answer is... No!

Possibly one of the toughest challenges to our faith or growing in our walk with Jesus is when we pray, with the most sincerest of motives, for something that seems good, and the answer we seek doesn't come out the way we wanted. Maybe more people of faith have been decimated by this than we care to admit. Unanswered prayer, or when the answer is no, has likely shipwrecked the faith of more than we realize.

If you look through the Scripture you'll find more than a few times people asked God for something only to be turned away empty handed. Consider:

  • Jesus in the Garden asked God for some other way than the cross. Matt. 26:39
  • Jesus prayed that His church would be united and loving of each other. John 17
  • Jesus aunt asked him to set up his cousins to be in command in heaven. Matt. 20:20-23
  • Joseph was taken to prison after being lied about. Genesis 39
  • The prophet Habakkuk asked God "How long do I have to call for help but you don't listen?" Habakkuk 1:1
  • The apostle Paul was tormented by some type of constant persistent pain, begging God to take it from him, only to be told that God would grant him the strength to live through it. 2 Cor. 12:9

On Sunday we'll continue our series on Listening to God by attempting to answer the question of What to do when God says No.... or Wait?

See You Sunday Friend!

Pastor Mike
PS- Huge thank you to those who prayed and supported our Ready Set Move adventure week for kids. Sheri shared on Sunday there were 14 kids who indicated they either decided to follow Jesus last week or heard about Him for the first time! Thanks for being a part of reaching this community for Christ!
