Pastor Mike continues our series, Encountering Jesus, with a look at John chapter 11.

Just as much as God wants us to advance and prosper, there is an enemy that wants to prevent all that God wants for us. Satan’s goal is to do whatever it takes to prevent us from getting to heaven. The enemy has a plan, and his first strategy is to convince people to question the power of God, that God is not who He says He is and cannot do what He promised. Many people can resist that strategy, and we believe God can and will. But Satan has a second strategy: get people to question God’s timing. God does not operate by time but by timing. Because we do not understand God’s timing, many people question if they are operating in His will. The absence of action does not indicate the lack of God. Just because God has not moved does not mean God has forsaken us. If we have a word from God, that word is true, but the time of fulfillment is long. Everything we see may contradict what we know, but that doesn’t change the truth. God has planted the answer to whatever we face long before we begin to experience it. God has a plan that is better than Satan’s second strategy.

We exist for the praise of the glory of God’s grace in Christ Jesus. Everything we do as a church must bring glory to God in the name of Christ Jesus. We are an intergenerational church. We strive to make a seamless journey of faith from birth to old age. We are overtly trinitarian. We are always looking for the work of the Father through the Son by the power of the Holy Spirit. We value people. We present the ideal of God’s plan while embracing the reality of life.
