Psalm 27 | Mike Summers God directs our lives according to his good purposes. But we don't always understand what those purposes are. If we desire to walk by faith, we also must wait by faith, and we can do that by drawing near to the Lord in prayer, pouring out our hearts before him, and humbly trusting that he will guide our steps. By God's grace, we will look upon the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living!

Bible Break Devotion – Romans 8:25Theme: Waiting for God's BestHosted by Tenille Gregory | Viewpoint Ministers Weekly Podcast
John 11:1-45
Joseph combed the job listings frustratedly. Previous jobs as a waiter had paid well, but regular weekend shifts typical of the restaurant industry made it hard for him as a new believer in Jesus to attend church regularly. “Why doesn’t God answer my prayer?” he lamented. “Wouldn’t He want me to attend church?” It took a year before Joseph saw that he had to adjust his expectations and try a different industry where he finally found a job with regular weekday shifts. Thanking God, he realized how the long wait had made him more mature in making decisions. This job change process had also taught Joseph what it means to persevere in life and trust in God to reveal His plans in His time. That’s what James told a church facing trials. Encouraging them not to give up, he said: “Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete” (James 1:4). The process of asking God for wisdom, waiting, and standing firm (vv. 5-6) would not only nurture their patience and trust in God, but also help them grow in maturity as they learned more about themselves and God. Waiting for God’s answer can be tough, but it makes us more mature and steadfast, strengthens our faith, and gives us a deeper understanding of what it means to trust God.
As night falls, rest in God's timing and care. Tonight's Our Daily Bread Evening Meditation invites you to trust Him, even when answers seem delayed, knowing that He hears and remembers every prayer.Reflecting on Psalm 13:1-2, we see that even in moments of waiting and doubt, God is attentive to our hearts.

How do we understand God's love in the middle of dark, confusing times? Kent Dunnington helps us grapple with this question – listen to his message here!
The closer David walked with God, the more he sought the Lord's guidance. Even after victory, he didn't presume success would be repeated. Facing the Philistines again, he was told to wait for the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees. We too must learn to wait for God's confirmations in life before proceeding.
In this second live Q&A of our Lent 2025 series Jesus in Galilee, Dom works through nearly 40 questions from the more than 2,000 people in the class — and Dom is, as promised, brief. The conversation moves from Cyrus and the economic disruption of Roman Galilee, to the misplaced colon in Isaiah 40 that quietly rewrote John the Baptist's identity, to why Mark borrowed a Roman horror story about a prostitute at a banquet to tell the story of John's execution. Dom defends his claim that Jesus underwent a genuine conversion after John's death — bigger than Paul's, he says, because it involved a different vision of God entirely — and insists that the apocalyptic tradition of waiting for God to intervene is not just a theological mistake but, after 2,000 years, edges toward something harsher than delusion. As always, Dom leaves you with more to think about than when you started. To join the class and get access to all four visual lectures, head to CrossanClass.com. You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube ONLINE LENT CLASS: Jesus in Galilee w/ John Dominic Crossan What can we actually know about Jesus of Nazareth? And, what difference does it make? This Lenten class begins where all of Dr. John Dominic Crossan's has work begins: with history. What was actually happening in Galilee in the 20s CE? What did Herod Antipas' transformation of the "Sea of Galilee" into the commercial "Sea of Tiberias" mean for peasant fishing communities? Why did Jesus emerge from John's baptism movement proclaiming God's Rule through parables—and what made that medium so perfectly suited to that message? Only by understanding what Jesus' parables meant then can we wrestle with what they might demand of us now. The class is donation-based, including 0, so join, get info, and join up here. John Dominic Crossan, professor emeritus at DePaul University, is widely regarded as the foremost historical Jesus scholar of our time. He is the author of several bestselling books, including The Historical Jesus, How to Read the Bible and Still Be a Christian, God and Empire, Jesus: A Revolutionary Biography, The Greatest Prayer, The Last Week, and The Power of Parable.

Waiting for God's Time The Gospel recounts Jesus ascending the mountain to call and appoint the Twelve Apostles, . . . . . . choosing them to be with him, to preach, and to exercise spiritual authority. This act highlights divine initiative: God chooses, calls, and sends according to His will, not human ambition. The Homily then turns to the Old Testament encounter between David and Saul. Saul, consumed by jealousy, seeks to kill David in order to preserve his power, while David . . . though unjustly persecuted for many years . . . refuses to take revenge when Saul's life is placed in his hands. David recognizes Saul as “the Lord's anointed” and entrusts justice and fulfillment of God's promise entirely to God's timing. True Faith Resists the Urge to Hasten God's Promises The central lesson contrasts jealousy and revenge with patience, discernment, and reverence for life. Jealousy corrupts the heart and leads toward death, while waiting on God preserves life and aligns human action with divine purpose. David teaches that God's plans do not require human violence or manipulation to be fulfilled. True faith resists the urge to hasten God's promises and instead allows God alone to sign His work, especially when life itself is at stake. Listen to this Meditation Media.

Psalm 66:18 II Corinthians 12:7
Malcolm Clemens Young reflects on Christian waiting as both a spiritual practice and a lived experience. Through the story of his lifelong friend Nick Haan—an adventurer, humanitarian, and creator of the global IPC famine-measurement system—Young illustrates how longing, loss, hope, and purpose shape our journey toward God. He weaves theology, personal narrative, and cultural observation to show that purification by love is central to life in this sacred "in-between" time. Ultimately, this Advent sermon invites listeners to recognize what holds them back from living fully as God's beloved children and to enter Advent with open hands, deep longing, and renewed expectation for the One who is coming. The Very Rev. Dr. Malcolm Clemens Young, Dean Grace Cathedral, San Francisco, CA Isaiah 11:1-10 Psalm 72:1-7,18-19 Romans 15:4-13 Matthew 3:1-12
In this sermon, we see that God’s people are called to look to God for mercy, forgiveness, and redemption and wait patiently for Him.

Fhe dangers of being older in a relationship.
When a country erupted in civil war, authorities conscripted a man into military service. However, he objected. “I don’t want any part in destroying [my country].” So he left it. Because he didn’t have proper visas, however, he eventually found himself stuck in another country’s airport. For months, airport employees gave the man food and thousands followed his tweets as he roamed terminals, knitted scarves, and clung to hope. Hearing of his perpetual plight, a community in Canada, raised money, and found him a job and a house. Lamentations presents the cry of Jeremiah who waited for God and the end of His discipline for the sins of his people. The prophet remained confident in an everlasting God who he knew could be trusted. “The Lord is good to those who hope in him” (3:25). God’s people can experience hope even when troubles overwhelm and relief seems impossible. Though they might need to “[bury their] face in the dust” and humbly accept God’s discipline, they can cling to the reality that “there may yet be hope” (v. 29). However desperate the situation, those who know God can experience a hope that flows from Him. “It is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord” (v. 26). Without answers or any clear way of escape, we wait for God to help us. We wait, with hope, for the God who’s proven Himself faithful over and over again.

We LOVE Keanu Reeves and Samuel Beckett. So to celebrate Keanu being on Broadway right now in Samuel Beckett's “Waiting For God” with his “Bill & Ted” friend Alex Winter, Phil and David are bringing you a special “Naked Lunch” reheated with the highlights of Keanu's “Naked Lunch” recorded with his beloved Dogstar bandmates Bret Domrose & Robert Mailhouse. Then hear Phil's beloved Monica Horan Rosenthal discussing her passion for Samuel Beckett's work and especially his play “Happy Days” — from Phil and David's episodes with Henry Winkler, Monica and Fran Wild and Paul Reubens. So “Happy Days” are here again!
Every Christian comes to a time when he or she tires of doing God's will and longs for a change of circumstances. There are few things in our spiritual lives more difficult than waiting for God's guidance. Sometimes it seems He doesn't hear our prayers, or if He does that He refuses to give us an answer. In these seasons resentment can rise up in us. We may decide He's forgotten us and decide to take matters into our own hands. This is a very dangerous moment, because if we're not careful, we can act out of frustration and spoil the plan God has for us. In our lesson for today, Noah is an example of a person who might well have grown frustrated and acted without waiting for God's guidance, but thankfully he refused to do so. Instead, he waited obediently until God's command came and the result was that he stayed in God's perfect timing. As painful as it must have been, Noah chose to wait for God.

If you weren't with us we are continuing our study through the book of Acts and we're near the end of chapter one. The Acts of the Apostles is the full name usually given to this book, but perhaps a more accurate title would be “The Acts of the Holy Spirit through the Disciples”. Turn to Acts chapter one in your Bible and join us for today's edition of Bridging the Gap.
The book of Acts has previously been described as “The Holy Spirit of God - working through the Word of God - in the hearts of the People of God.” That's an appropriate description of the goings-on here in Acts as the post-crucifixion Christian Church was just being established. Many Bible scholars have also turned to Acts one, verse eight as the key statement of the facts --- in Acts - the Holy Spirit descended upon the believers on the day of Pentecost.
The day of God's judgment is approaching, whether we recognize it or not. This is God's promise, and what God says is always true. Thankfully, His loving mercy is also certain, for the desire of God is to see sinful people saved.

Behold, please look, we are all your people.10 Your holy cities have become a wilderness; Zion has become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.11 Our holy and beautiful house, where our fathers praised you,has been burned by fire, and all our pleasant places have become ruins.12 Will you restrain yourself at these things, O Lord?

Trusting God's timing is always a wise choice.
Waiting can feel like the hardest part – especially when you're waiting on an answer from God. James 1:5 says if you lack wisdom, ask God, and He will give it. But here's what I've noticed: it doesn't say how that wisdom will come… or when. And if you're anything like me, that “when” part can really test your patience.
