Why I Have to Be in a Season of Waiting • Sunday Service Website: www.PastorTodd.org To give: www.toddcoconato.com/give Waiting is one of the hardest things God asks us to do. We want answers now, doors open now, breakthrough now. But Scripture teaches that waiting is not wasted—it's one of God's most powerful tools to shape us, strengthen us, and align us with His perfect timing. Let's walk through ten passages that show why God calls us into seasons of waiting. 1. Waiting Renews Strength Isaiah 40:31 (NKJV): “But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.” 2. Waiting Teaches Us God's Timing Habakkuk 2:3 (NKJV): “For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” 3. Waiting Builds Endurance in Trials Romans 5:3–4 (NKJV): “And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope.” 4. Waiting Is Part of God's Goodness Lamentations 3:25–26 (NKJV): “The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.” 5. Waiting Keeps Us from Running Ahead of God Psalm 27:14 (NKJV): “Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the Lord!” 6. Waiting Prepares Us to Receive the Promise Hebrews 6:12 (NKJV): “That you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.” 7. Waiting Shows God Is Working All Things for Good Romans 8:28 (NKJV): “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” 8. Waiting Protects Us from the Wrong Door Psalm 37:7 (NKJV): “Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.” 9. Waiting Produces Blessing in Due Season Galatians 6:9 (NKJV): “And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.” 10. Waiting Prepares Us for Christ's Return Titus 2:13 (NKJV): “Looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.” Beloved, if you are in a season of waiting, remember this: waiting is not wasted. God is renewing your strength, building your character, protecting you from wrong doors, and aligning you with His perfect timing. The waiting is a setup for the promise. Be of good courage, and wait on the Lord! CCLI: 21943673
We've all run from something, a hard conversation, a tough decision, a call from God we didn't want to answer. Jonah did, too. Most people know him as “the guy who got swallowed by a fish,” but his story is really about what happens when we run… and what grace looks like when we stop. In this series, we're looking at Jonah's journey, not just the part with the fish, but the real-life stuff: the choices that backfired, the storms that followed, and the unexpected shot at a second chance. This isn't just an old Bible story, it's a reflection of the world we live in. If you've ever felt lost, overwhelmed, or like you've been running from something for way too long… Jonah's story might just be your story, too.

God calls some people to do things that do not make sense to the conventional order to push the direction. And honestly, if you look at history the people God choose are either a bit crazy or deeply broken. God chooses the people who are in desperate situations because they are desperate for God.

At the end of his life the Apostle Peter wrote, "The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance." The prophet Jonah lived eight centuries before Peter's birth, and his story reveals this same truth about God: He loves all people, even our enemies! In this five-week series on Jonah we will be invited to join God's mission of mercy to the people he loves.
When I walk with Jesus, I have three options. I can run ahead, I can lag behind, or I can stay right with Him. Which one of those do you think holds the blessing? Which one offers more protection? Which one provides more fellowship? I think you get the idea.Let's quickly review what it is to walk and then avoid the pitfalls of not being right by Him in our spiritual journey.
The Bible says that God is love, but what is our response when we discover that God loves those we find most difficult? Do we respond with joy or anger? Jonah certainly experienced anger. But through his story, we learn how to respond when God doesn't act according to our will.

Doug Elrick :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, May 21, 2023 "The Lord has sought out a man after his own heart and appointed him ruler of his people, because you have not kept the Lord's command.” (Samuel) Through a series of mistakes as King of Israel, Saul sidestepped God's rule, which ultimately led to God appointing David as his replacement. Doug Elrick's message from 1 Samuel 13 highlights the consequences of "running ahead of God" in relation to waiting on God's perfect timing.

In Genesis 16, we see how Abram and Sarai deal with waiting by running ahead of God instead of turning to Him. Amazingly, we learn that even when people run away from God, He is on a personal rescue mission to find us.

How long will I have to wait for God to heal me? How long will I be here? How long is it going to take for Him to answer my prayer? Sounds familiar? In the midst of waiting, it can get tough, exhausting, frustrating, and hurtful. As we wait, sometimes these feelings can get overwhelming and we try to find some way to fix it or escape it; hoping to bridge over to healing and restoration. But, is it wise for us to jump ahead of God? Lets find out in today's "Saturdays with Chloe." - www.chloemgooden.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/convoswithchloe/support

Running Ahead of God by Hoffmantown Church
Our tendency is at times to run ahead of God's timing in our zeal and enthusiasm to serve Him or to lag behind as He wants us to move ahead when we are reluctant. There is a balance and Dr. Spann shares some practical insights into keeping in step with God.Complete notes from this session can be downloaded here. Other resources: Westminster Pulpit (G. Campbell Morgan)Kansas Communities Ministry Website
When we buy a company's stock, we know the worst-case scenario - you can lose 100% of your investment. The best-case scenario is unknown - our upside is endless. . .
God has a tendency to come through in the impossible situations. Pastor Bill teaches you today that Sara did not have the child that God promised her until she was 90. A truly ridiculous age to bare a child. Through this birth it was undeniable that God was involved. God wants to do the impossible through you too. He has placed in you His Will for your life. It may seem impossible or ridiculous, but if He's planted it in you then it can come to pass if you'll simply allow it.
It's important for you to grasp the difference between God asking you to take action and God asking you to sit still. Pastor Bill reminds you today that these are two very different things that can often be confused with one another. When you've identified Gods Will for your life you're to pursue it through Him and His means, not through your own. This will require faith and will be rewarded with Gods promises. If on the other hand you are to go rogue and force the situation you'll likely cause chaos in your life.
God promised Abraham and Sarah a child. As time passed Sarah began to believe that the promise wasn't coming to pass because of her. She took it upon herself to find a new solution. Pastor Bill teaches you today that when Sarah did this she was stepping out of bounds. She wasn't placing faith in Gods Promise and was ignoring the Word that God gave her. You too may one day find yourself questioning God. When you do go back into His Word and be reminded by it that He always fulfills His promises.
Jonah 4 (NIV)Jonah's Anger at the Lord's Compassion1 But to Jonah this seemed very wrong, and he became angry. 2 He prayed to the Lord, “Isn't this what I said, Lord, when I was still at home? That is what I tried to forestall by fleeing to Tarshish. I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity. 3 Now, Lord, take away my life, for it is better for me to die than to live.”4 But the Lord replied, “Is it right for you to be angry?”5 Jonah had gone out and sat down at a place east of the city. There he made himself a shelter, sat in its shade and waited to see what would happen to the city. 6 Then the Lord God provided a leafy plant[a] and made it grow up over Jonah to give shade for his head to ease his discomfort, and Jonah was very happy about the plant. 7 But at dawn the next day God provided a worm, which chewed the plant so that it withered. 8 When the sun rose, God provided a scorching east wind, and the sun blazed on Jonah's head so that he grew faint. He wanted to die, and said, “It would be better for me to die than to live.”9 But God said to Jonah, “Is it right for you to be angry about the plant?”“It is,” he said. “And I'm so angry I wish I were dead.”10 But the Lord said, “You have been concerned about this plant, though you did not tend it or make it grow. It sprang up overnight and died overnight. 11 And should I not have concern for the great city of Nineveh, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand people who cannot tell their right hand from their left—and also many animals?”Footnotes:[a] Jonah 4:6 The precise identification of this plant is uncertain; also in verses 7, 9 and 10.
