Week 9: When the Promise is Delayed: Trusting God in the Waiting

May 4, 2025    Pastor Juniece Fillingham

Pastor Juniece Fillingham explores the concept of trusting God when His promises are delayed, using the biblical story of Abram and Sarai as a central example. She highlights their struggle with barrenness and God's promise of descendants, illustrating how waiting can lead to the temptation to take control and fulfill the promise through human effort, much like Sarai offering Hagar to Abram. Despite human failures and attempts to "build" God's plan themselves, Pastor Juniece emphasizes the crucial theological principle that God's redemptive plan continues even when we fail, because His promises are dependent not on our ability, but on His faithfulness.
