07-05-2026 Under Pressure | Disappointed with God | John 11
BIG PICTURE: What feels unfair to you may be serving a purpose that is bigger than you can imagine.
Disappointed with Jesus…
1. Understand that every difficulty is an opportunity for your good and God’s glory.
2. Remember that this difficulty may not be something you would choose, but it is something that God will use.
3. God’s purposes for His glory were fulfilled because Jesus showed up “late”.
So, what do we do when God doesn’t do what we expect Him to do?
1. Don’t let what you don’t understand cause you to doubt what you already know. (Proverbs 3:5-6)
2. Let your disappointment drive you toward Jesus, not away from Him.
3. Trust that God is doing more than you can see. When God makes you wait, it doesn’t necessarily mean He is saying no.
The pressure is real, but God’s presence is greater. Discover hope, strength, and peace through life’s toughest seasons in this practical and encouraging series.
07-12-2026 | Under Pressure | When Nothing Changes | 2 Cor 12:1-10
BIG PICTURE: God’s grace is greater than the pressure that remains.
Pressure is not proof that God has abandoned you. The reality is that things may never change.
The pressure that feels like it’s breaking you may be the very thing God is using to build you up.
“My grace is sufficient for you” Grace = the ability to move on, despite your circumstances. Sufficient = more than enough, an over-abundance given each day.
Your weakness becomes the platform for God’s power.
“God is most glorified in you when you are most satisfied in Him” John Piper
God displays His power when you surrender your weakness. (v10)
Your endurance is evidence of His presence.
When nothing changes…
1. Keep trusting Jesus with your thorn. (Phil 4:6-7).
2. Let God’s grace become enough. Let go of your expectations.
3. Let your weakness display Christ’s strength.
The pressure is real, but God’s presence is greater. Discover hope, strength, and peace through life’s toughest seasons in this practical and encouraging series.
