What do you do when you’ve prayed, waited, tried to remain faithful—and God still seems silent? Those seasons can leave us wondering whether God is listening or whether he has forgotten us altogether. In Genesis 40:1–23, Joseph finds himself stuck in prison after years of disappointment and injustice. Yet even there, he continues to serve the people around him, give God the credit, and wait on God’s timing. In this message, Scot Johnson explores what Joseph’s story can teach us about staying faithful when God feels far away. If you’re walking through grief, uncertainty, unanswered prayer, or simply a season when God seems distant, Genesis 40 reminds us that felt silence from God does not mean his absence.
The King is Coming - Week 3
What do we do when life feels like it’s coming apart? In Matthew 24:29–35, Jesus uses vivid Old Testament imagery and a simple fig tree to help his disciples understand seasons of upheaval, judgment, hope, and renewal. Scot Johnson shows how this passage points us away from obsession, fear, or apathy and toward spiritual readiness. Jesus is the Son of Man, the reigning King whose words will never pass away. When the world feels unstable—or when our own lives feel shaken—we can bear good fruit by bowing to King Jesus, paying attention to our spiritual season, anchoring in Scripture, and joining God’s mission in the world.
Faith in the Waiting - Week 7
What do you do when God’s call feels costly, confusing, or deeply personal? In Genesis 22, Abraham faces the hardest test of his life, and through it we see what real faith looks like. This message explores how God uses testing not to toy with his people, but to deepen trust and refine the heart. As Abraham learns to listen, obey, and hold even God’s promises with open hands, we’re invited to do the same. But the story does not end with Abraham’s faithfulness. It points us to God’s faithfulness—his provision, his justice, his grace, and ultimately his Son. This sermon helps us respond to God’s call with a simple posture: “Here I am.”
Faith in the Waiting - Week 2
What do you do when God makes a promise—but your reality doesn’t seem to match it? In Genesis 15, Abram finds himself living in the gap between what God said and what he can see. The result is something many of us know well: doubt.
In this message, guest speaker Scot Johnson explores how Abram’s honest questions weren’t a rejection of God—but a reaching for him. Through a powerful covenant ceremony, God teaches Abram (and us) three lessons for life in the waiting: Look Up, Lean In, and Let Go. If you’ve ever wrestled with God’s timing, struggled with uncertainty, or wondered whether his promises will really hold, this sermon offers both reassurance and a deeper confidence in Christ.
