    This sermon explores the reasons behind delays in life's journey and offers biblical solutions to overcome them.

    Destiny is closely tied to time, and it is the primary target of the devil. Satan doesn't attack you because of your past; he troubles you because of your future. His goal is to delay you, as prolonged delay can lead to destruction. However, it will not be too late for you to overcome this delay ...read more

    The Discipline Of Delay

    Dr. Wood used this sermon to inform the congregation that often God uses delay in order to discipline us or steer us in the direction that He intends for the good of His kingdom.

    John 11:1–46 INTRODUCTION: Too often, we worry when we should wait, and we resist when we should resign. Often God’s delays are explained in that God wishes to teach us our need of patience (see Hebrews 10:36). In our text, Lazarus was on his deathbed and yet Jesus delayed (see vv. 1–6). ...read more

    There are countless verses about the benefits of “waiting on the Lord,” BUT…I’ve found quoting the verses to be a whole lot easier than the actual “waiting on the Lord.” Sometimes it seems like God is running late. What’s the deal? Why is He making us wait? Why is He allowing this delay?

    When your God-given vision is interrupted, it’s a part of God’s plan.

    We have our Christian beliefs, yes-but that isn’t the same as believing God. Believing God is a personal response that grows out of our Christian faith and is expressed by our increasing trust in Him while waiting on Him and His promises.

    Opening illustration: In April 2010, clouds of ash spewed by a volcano in Iceland closed airports across the UK and Europe for 5 days. Nearly 100,000 flights were canceled and millions of passengers around the world found themselves in an enormous holding pattern on the ground. People missed ...read more

    Each and every one of us needs to understand that God has a purpose behind every problem, every situation and every circumstance. God uses circumstances to develop our character.
