About the Sermon

In this opening sermon, we address the difficult reality of feeling like God is silent during our struggles. By looking at Habakkuk’s honest questions and doubts, we learn how to express our own frustrations to God without losing our faith. We’ll discover that God’s silence doesn’t mean He’s absent and that there is meaning to be found even in the quiet, lonely seasons.

Serving as Jars of Clay

“We are jars of clay who are fillable with the very presence of God.” Pastor Josue unpacks the biblical metaphor of believers as “jars of clay,” explaining how followers of Jesus are:
Fragile
Finite
Fallible
Fillable
Functional

Faithfulness

In Week 2 of our Be Our Guest series, guest speaker Makayla Lance walks through the story of Abraham and Sarah in Genesis and reminds us of a truth we desperately need to hear:
God is faithful—even when we struggle to believe He will come through.
For 25 years, Abraham and Sarah waited on a promise from God that seemed impossible. And somewhere in the waiting came doubt, frustration, hopelessness, and the temptation to take control themselves.
Maybe you know that feeling too.
