12.24.23 (Both) While We Are Waiting: “What If I Stop Waiting?”

Pastor Dale Capron • December 18, 2023

John 1:9-18 (CEB) and I Samuel 8:4-22 (CEB)

You’ve prayed for God to move in your life, or the life of someone you care about, but it doesn’t seem to have made a difference. You believe the scriptures that tell you to keep faith, but waiting for God to answer your prayers has worn you out. The challenges and trials of life in this world can seem so powerful and overwhelming, and you are facing them head-on with only your faith to support you. You may have even wondered, “What if I just give up on waiting?”


You are not alone.


Come for our combined morning worship service on the 4th Sunday of Advent, December 24, 10:00 a.m. in The New Room contemporary worship space. Come join your fellow disciples as we ask these hard questions together. Come release the burdens of the holiday season, and the burden of unanswered prayers. Come and see if God will meet us right where we are. As we head into the Christmas holiday, let’s not give up hope yet!


In Christ,

Pastor Dale
