Bobby Chandler: Authentic Church | Bobby Chandler - When You Feel Disappointed With God (Part 1) | November 12, 2025

She. i'm saying this lovingly to you.
00:00:00.834 --> 00:00:04.964
But some of us are stubborn.
00:00:04.964 --> 00:00:06.699
Some of us are hard headed.
00:00:06.699 --> 00:00:08.134
Some of us grew up very tough.
00:00:08.134 --> 00:00:10.070
I can handle my own. i could do my own thing.
00:00:10.070 --> 00:00:12.639
I can handle people.
00:00:12.639 --> 00:00:13.673
You can't handle this alone.
00:00:13.673 --> 00:00:16.843
What i can tell for this church is that we're entering into
00:00:16.843 --> 00:00:19.579
A new season.
00:00:19.579 --> 00:00:21.915
In fact, i've been stating it like this.
00:00:21.915 --> 00:00:23.416
That this is the year seven.
00:00:23.416 --> 00:00:26.119
Because in january, we're going to celebrate
00:00:26.119 --> 00:00:27.821
Seven years as a church.
00:00:27.821 --> 00:00:31.191
And biblically, the number seven means completion.
00:00:31.191 --> 00:00:33.860
It's a very supernatural, wonderful number
00:00:33.860 --> 00:00:36.863
That we see out of the bible over and over again.
00:00:36.863 --> 00:00:38.665
This many themes with the number seven.
00:00:38.665 --> 00:00:41.801
And so last tuesday night, i just want to share this
00:00:41.801 --> 00:00:43.937
Because we had a crew night
00:00:43.937 --> 00:00:46.606
And our crew, our volunteers, we come together.
00:00:46.606 --> 00:00:50.210
We feed them, we break bread together.
00:00:50.210 --> 00:00:52.278
Listen, if you ever join crew yet, we love to feed you.
00:00:52.278 --> 00:00:54.514
Okay.
00:00:54.514 --> 00:00:55.849
You need to join. we have a good time together.
00:00:55.849 --> 00:00:57.884
And i prepared like this 30 minute like sermon
00:00:58.785 --> 00:01:01.521
That to speak to our team and to our church.
00:01:01.521 --> 00:01:05.325
And something in my eyes,
00:01:05.325 --> 00:01:07.393
Something incredible happened up here.
00:01:07.393 --> 00:01:09.028
We started to worship and pray.
00:01:09.028 --> 00:01:11.764
And i just wanted to listen to the spirit of the lord.
00:01:11.764 --> 00:01:13.867
And i believe that god told me not to not to preach that night,
00:01:13.867 --> 00:01:16.369
Not to speak.
00:01:16.369 --> 00:01:17.737
Save it for another time.
00:01:17.737 --> 00:01:18.938
And our volunteers and our leaders,
00:01:18.938 --> 00:01:21.040
I believe for like an hour,
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:23.543
Just prayed,
00:01:23.543 --> 00:01:25.812
Cried,
00:01:25.812 --> 00:01:27.914
And worship the lord for everything
00:01:27.914 --> 00:01:29.749
That he's doing.
00:01:29.749 --> 00:01:32.919
And like i said, i believe we're stepping
00:01:32.919 --> 00:01:34.454
Into a brand new season.
00:01:34.454 --> 00:01:37.757
And god is doing wonderful things here.
00:01:37.757 --> 00:01:39.792
I'm meeting so many new families that are moving in
00:01:39.792 --> 00:01:42.095
And so many people being impacted by the word and
00:01:42.095 --> 00:01:46.032
I truly
00:01:46.266 --> 00:01:47.467
Believe that god has something great planned for this church,
00:01:47.467 --> 00:01:50.570
And that god has something really great plan for your life.
00:01:50.570 --> 00:01:53.039
There's a reason you're here.
00:01:53.039 --> 00:01:54.040
It's not by accident.
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:56.776
And so we've been in this series
00:01:56.776 --> 00:01:58.278
Lately titled, made for more.
00:01:58.278 --> 00:02:02.148
And the whole vision behind this series is to teach you
00:02:02.148 --> 00:02:04.517
How to step into your calling,
00:02:04.517 --> 00:02:07.554
How to see that god created you for a purpose.
00:02:07.554 --> 00:02:11.157
And over the last few weeks, we've been studying
00:02:11.157 --> 00:02:12.959
A prophet named elijah.
00:02:12.959 --> 00:02:16.930
And i love elijah, his story because his story proves to us
00:02:16.930 --> 00:02:21.201
That your life can change like that
00:02:21.201 --> 00:02:25.338
On a day that he thought was an ordinary day
00:02:26.272 --> 00:02:28.675
When he's just working in the field, it's
00:02:28.675 --> 00:02:30.543
The day that his future mentor would come up to him
00:02:30.543 --> 00:02:34.681
And his mentor dropped his coat on him, meaning, hey, i
00:02:34.681 --> 00:02:37.650
Have called you now
00:02:37.650 --> 00:02:39.752
To step into my place,
00:02:40.220 --> 00:02:42.188
The position that god has for you.
00:02:42.188 --> 00:02:43.990
And so a day that seemed very ordinary to him
00:02:43.990 --> 00:02:47.894
Changed suddenly.
00:02:47.894 --> 00:02:51.364
Let's stop right there for a second.
00:02:52.165 --> 00:02:55.335
Your life can change like that.
00:02:55.335 --> 00:03:00.473
Everything in your life right now
00:03:01.207 --> 00:03:02.575
That you're facing, the trials that you're in,
00:03:02.575 --> 00:03:05.979
You feel like you're just trying to survive this.
00:03:05.979 --> 00:03:07.680
And my god can show up in your life today and change
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:11.017
It. suddenly.
00:03:11.017 --> 00:03:14.487
And so again, i'm reminding you, like you're created for more
00:03:14.487 --> 00:03:17.190
Than just surviving,
00:03:17.190 --> 00:03:20.293
Just paying bills and just getting by.
00:03:20.293 --> 00:03:21.928
You're created for more for the kingdom of god.
00:03:21.928 --> 00:03:24.197
And so elijah in this story realizes, okay,
00:03:24.197 --> 00:03:27.133
God did create me for more.
00:03:27.133 --> 00:03:29.035
It's a beautiful story and he's willing to go the distance.
00:03:29.035 --> 00:03:33.873
But when we talk about the subject to made for more,
00:03:34.907 --> 00:03:37.510
A lot of times
00:03:37.510 --> 00:03:38.177
We think about all the great
00:03:38.177 --> 00:03:39.912
Supernatural and wonderful things that god will do.
00:03:39.912 --> 00:03:42.582
Okay, he will,
00:03:42.582 --> 00:03:45.585
But i need you to understand with heaviness this morning
00:03:45.585 --> 00:03:48.187
That made for more awesome means that you will go through
00:03:48.187 --> 00:03:50.957
Trials that you didn't see coming.
00:03:50.957 --> 00:03:54.494
That you will experience pain at times.
00:03:55.295 --> 00:03:59.265
And please believe me as much as you love the lord,
00:03:59.265 --> 00:04:03.036
There will be times that this pain will attack your faith.
00:04:03.036 --> 00:04:07.840
You may even come to a situation in your life
00:04:08.741 --> 00:04:12.245
Where you look up to the sky and you really start
00:04:12.245 --> 00:04:15.315
To question god.
00:04:15.315 --> 00:04:16.649
Are you good?
00:04:16.649 --> 00:04:20.386
Because the environment around you
00:04:20.386 --> 00:04:23.856
Has become so devastating.
00:04:23.856 --> 00:04:27.093
This is what we are
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:29.295
In the story
00:04:29.629 --> 00:04:30.563
Now with the lies it made for more means.
00:04:30.563 --> 00:04:33.366
You're going to also fight trials you didn't see coming.
00:04:33.366 --> 00:04:36.836
And so i want to do something a little different today.
00:04:36.836 --> 00:04:40.306
And second kings chapter four.
00:04:40.306 --> 00:04:41.941
I don't want to start at the beginning of the story.
00:04:41.941 --> 00:04:46.379
I want to start
00:04:46.746 --> 00:04:48.614
At this heartbreaking scene that we see.
00:04:48.614 --> 00:04:51.884
And again, it's in second kings 2 to 4, 18 to 28
00:04:51.884 --> 00:04:56.689
Of a broken mother
00:04:57.123 --> 00:05:00.193
And a sister.
00:05:00.193 --> 00:05:01.127
One day
00:05:01.127 --> 00:05:03.262
When her child was older,
00:05:03.262 --> 00:05:06.032
Her child, her son, went out to help his father,
00:05:06.032 --> 00:05:09.769
Who was working with the harvesters.
00:05:09.769 --> 00:05:12.905
His. suddenly her son
00:05:13.406 --> 00:05:15.742
Cried out, my head hurts,
00:05:15.742 --> 00:05:18.778
My head hurts!
00:05:19.112 --> 00:05:21.748
And his father said to one of the servants, carry him home
00:05:21.748 --> 00:05:24.617
To his mother.
00:05:24.617 --> 00:05:26.285
The father was very old.
00:05:26.819 --> 00:05:28.254
He was not able to carry his own son,
00:05:28.254 --> 00:05:31.357
And so the servant
00:05:31.357 --> 00:05:34.026
Carries him home to his mother,
00:05:34.026 --> 00:05:37.530
And his mother held him in her lap.
00:05:37.530 --> 00:05:42.201
And i know she prayed.
00:05:42.668 --> 00:05:46.305
Like i know that she believed
00:05:46.939 --> 00:05:48.307
That god could kill him right there.
00:05:48.307 --> 00:05:50.343
She probably begged the lord,
00:05:50.343 --> 00:05:51.344
Please god, don't let anything happen in.
00:05:51.344 --> 00:05:55.214
But around noontime he died.
00:05:55.815 --> 00:05:59.185
In her lap, in her arms.
00:05:59.719 --> 00:06:03.289
And so she carried him up,
00:06:03.289 --> 00:06:04.524
And she laid him on the bed.
00:06:04.524 --> 00:06:07.827
Notice this the bed of the man of god.
00:06:07.827 --> 00:06:11.664
Then she shut the door, and she left him
00:06:12.498 --> 00:06:14.400
There.
00:06:14.400 --> 00:06:18.337
She was in a situation
00:06:18.805 --> 00:06:20.506
Where she had no other choice
00:06:20.506 --> 00:06:23.609
But to leave her dead.
00:06:24.076 --> 00:06:24.911
Son, in this place,
00:06:24.911 --> 00:06:27.713
To pursue god for a crazy miracle.
00:06:27.713 --> 00:06:31.851
And so she sent a message to
00:06:32.452 --> 00:06:34.020
Her husband, send one of the servants and a donkey
00:06:34.020 --> 00:06:37.223
So that i can hurry to the man of god and come right back.
00:06:38.357 --> 00:06:41.194
And her husband asked, why go today?
00:06:41.194 --> 00:06:45.198
It is neither a new moon festival nor a sabbath.
00:06:46.165 --> 00:06:49.802
But she said to him, it will be all right.
00:06:50.703 --> 00:06:54.740
Because of this conversation, many believe that she didn't
00:06:54.740 --> 00:06:57.543
Even tell her husband that he had died.
00:06:57.543 --> 00:07:01.180
We don't really know the reason.
00:07:01.814 --> 00:07:03.449
Maybe because she wanted to believe so badly in a miracle.
00:07:03.449 --> 00:07:06.619
She didn't want any doubt
00:07:06.619 --> 00:07:08.921
Or fear placed in her head.
00:07:08.921 --> 00:07:10.256
She was just willing and ready to go.
00:07:10.256 --> 00:07:13.392
And so she saddled the donkey
00:07:14.026 --> 00:07:16.996
And said to the servant, hurry!
00:07:16.996 --> 00:07:20.700
Don't slow down unless i tell you to.
00:07:20.700 --> 00:07:24.136
And as she
00:07:24.437 --> 00:07:25.371
Approached the man of god at mount carmel,
00:07:25.371 --> 00:07:28.140
Elijah saw her in the distance,
00:07:28.140 --> 00:07:31.377
And he said to his, i look, the woman from shooting
00:07:31.377 --> 00:07:34.914
Is coming.
00:07:34.914 --> 00:07:37.550
Run out to meet her and ask
00:07:37.550 --> 00:07:38.985
Her, is everything all right with you?
00:07:38.985 --> 00:07:41.988
Your husband
00:07:41.988 --> 00:07:43.823
And your child?
00:07:43.823 --> 00:07:46.058
And when he asked her,
00:07:46.058 --> 00:07:48.227
She told him, yes,
00:07:48.227 --> 00:07:50.997
Everything is fine.
00:07:50.997 --> 00:07:54.066
She lied.
00:07:54.066 --> 00:07:56.335
Her life
00:07:56.335 --> 00:07:58.538
Is turning upside down.
00:07:58.538 --> 00:07:59.739
Everything that she loves
00:07:59.739 --> 00:08:02.008
Is falling apart.
00:08:02.008 --> 00:08:03.209
But the reason she lied to him is because she did not want
00:08:03.209 --> 00:08:05.878
To speak to the middle man about her problems.
00:08:05.878 --> 00:08:09.248
She did not want to speak to somebody
00:08:10.082 --> 00:08:11.717
That could not fix the situation that she was in.
00:08:11.717 --> 00:08:15.488
And so finally it states that she came to the man of god
00:08:15.488 --> 00:08:19.725
At the mountain top,
00:08:20.192 --> 00:08:23.062
And she
00:08:23.296 --> 00:08:23.963
Fell to the ground before him,
00:08:23.963 --> 00:08:26.666
And she caught hold of his feet.
00:08:26.666 --> 00:08:29.635
She just had to speak to him.
00:08:29.635 --> 00:08:32.438
She was devastated and her heart was
00:08:32.438 --> 00:08:34.340
Broken and hazy, didn't understand it.
00:08:34.340 --> 00:08:37.777
So he was being a little rude to her and he pushed her away.
00:08:37.777 --> 00:08:42.715
Don't touch the prophet.
00:08:43.249 --> 00:08:45.985
What are you doing?
00:08:45.985 --> 00:08:46.986
You just told me everything was fine.
00:08:46.986 --> 00:08:48.321
But elijah knew.
00:08:48.321 --> 00:08:51.691
Elijah knew
00:08:52.024 --> 00:08:52.625
That something was wrong.
00:08:52.625 --> 00:08:55.795
And he said, leave her alone.
00:08:55.795 --> 00:08:58.931
Is to leave her alone.
00:08:59.398 --> 00:09:00.199
She is deeply troubled.
00:09:00.199 --> 00:09:02.568
She needs help.
00:09:02.568 --> 00:09:06.038
And now i think this verse right here is extraordinary,
00:09:06.038 --> 00:09:08.474
Because i think elijah said
00:09:08.474 --> 00:09:09.709
Something he never thought he would say.
00:09:09.709 --> 00:09:11.177
He said, the lord has not told me what this is.
00:09:11.177 --> 00:09:15.948
The lord has not told me about this situation.
00:09:16.916 --> 00:09:20.953
He's surprised that he doesn't know
00:09:21.687 --> 00:09:23.055
What's really going on with this woman,
00:09:23.055 --> 00:09:26.626
That you're going to find out he knows so well.
00:09:26.626 --> 00:09:30.162
But when she came to the man of god.
00:09:30.162 --> 00:09:33.699
She came to him
00:09:34.066 --> 00:09:36.736
And she said.
00:09:36.736 --> 00:09:40.039
Did i ask you for son?
00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:43.175
My lord?
00:09:43.175 --> 00:09:46.312
Did i ask you for this?
00:09:46.312 --> 00:09:49.415
And didn't i say,
00:09:49.849 --> 00:09:52.451
Don't deceive me
00:09:52.451 --> 00:09:55.321
And get my hopes up?
00:09:55.321 --> 00:09:59.025
I've been through pain, is what she's saying.
00:09:59.025 --> 00:10:02.228
I believed in a promise before.
00:10:02.228 --> 00:10:05.931
And my heart was broken.
00:10:06.465 --> 00:10:09.435
And now you have given me something
00:10:09.435 --> 00:10:11.003
That i didn't even ask for.
00:10:11.003 --> 00:10:12.605
And it's the greatest blessing in my life.
00:10:12.605 --> 00:10:15.808
But at this moment, it's being taken away from me.
00:10:15.808 --> 00:10:21.247
The very blessing
00:10:21.681 --> 00:10:22.815
That you gave me today, i didn't ask for.
00:10:22.815 --> 00:10:25.851
It's the biggest disappointment that i'm not ready to face.
00:10:27.019 --> 00:10:32.258
So why would god
00:10:32.658 --> 00:10:33.592
Do something like this to me?
00:10:33.592 --> 00:10:36.829
She said, don't get my hopes up.
00:10:37.463 --> 00:10:41.600
Can you relate to the.
00:10:42.068 --> 00:10:44.937
You've tried so many times
00:10:44.937 --> 00:10:48.207
To believe this time.
00:10:48.207 --> 00:10:51.811
And just because it doesn't go
00:10:51.811 --> 00:10:52.878
Your way or the way that you planned.
00:10:52.878 --> 00:10:56.115
You start to believe.
00:10:56.615 --> 00:10:57.416
What if i just don't try?
00:10:57.416 --> 00:11:00.820
I'll never get my hopes up
00:11:00.820 --> 00:11:04.190
In this situation i'm facing.
00:11:04.190 --> 00:11:07.460
But again,
00:11:07.460 --> 00:11:09.028
You're not here just to get by.
00:11:09.028 --> 00:11:12.164
God created you for more.
00:11:12.164 --> 00:11:15.868
So the title of today's message is this.
00:11:15.868 --> 00:11:17.970
When you feel
00:11:17.970 --> 00:11:20.306
Disappointed with god.
00:11:20.306 --> 00:11:23.876
When you feel disappointed with god.
00:11:24.677 --> 00:11:26.145
And so weird statement.
00:11:26.145 --> 00:11:27.012
We don't like to even say that.
00:11:27.012 --> 00:11:30.616
And really, what we're saying in this title
00:11:30.616 --> 00:11:32.718
Is we feel disappointed in our situation,
00:11:32.718 --> 00:11:36.422
We feel disappointed in what we're going through
00:11:36.422 --> 00:11:38.424
And what we're dealing with.
00:11:38.424 --> 00:11:39.558
And so what i feel like the lord has placed on my heart.
00:11:39.558 --> 00:11:42.661
Here's the burden that i have for us as i'm preaching lately,
00:11:42.661 --> 00:11:45.164
Especially throughout this series, is
00:11:45.164 --> 00:11:46.899
I want to preach to you clarity.
00:11:46.899 --> 00:11:50.035
Like, i feel like i just i
00:11:50.603 --> 00:11:52.138
Just want to throw out any fluff in and the sermons.
00:11:52.138 --> 00:11:56.208
We don't have time for fluff.
00:11:56.842 --> 00:11:57.943
I just want to bring you clarity.
00:11:57.943 --> 00:11:59.078
I want to bring you revelations from the word of god.
00:11:59.078 --> 00:12:01.981
I'm going to bring you
00:12:02.448 --> 00:12:03.449
The real things that you would struggle with,
00:12:03.449 --> 00:12:05.284
The real things that you will face.
00:12:05.284 --> 00:12:06.986
So we're going to dive into this.
00:12:06.986 --> 00:12:08.988
And so point number one is this i need you to understand today
00:12:08.988 --> 00:12:11.924
That disappointment is going to be part of your journey.
00:12:11.924 --> 00:12:15.327
Like the bible never stated that once you gave your life
00:12:16.462 --> 00:12:18.764
Over to jesus, that
00:12:18.764 --> 00:12:20.266
Everything is going to be perfect now
00:12:20.266 --> 00:12:21.867
And you'll never face disappointment.
00:12:21.867 --> 00:12:23.702
No, the bible is very, very clear.
00:12:23.702 --> 00:12:26.238
There will be disappointment in your life.
00:12:26.238 --> 00:12:28.874
There will be things that you thought would happen
00:12:28.874 --> 00:12:31.343
That do not happen.
00:12:31.343 --> 00:12:33.078
God may even allow some situations
00:12:33.813 --> 00:12:36.549
That will bring a heartbreak and the environment
00:12:36.549 --> 00:12:40.219
That you're in, and it's difficult to understand.
00:12:40.219 --> 00:12:43.989
But the bible never promise you that you won't go
00:12:44.990 --> 00:12:47.193
Through disappointment.
00:12:47.193 --> 00:12:47.993
But the bible does promise you this
00:12:47.993 --> 00:12:49.395
You will not go through it alone.
00:12:49.395 --> 00:12:52.598
What i'm going to show you today is that in every situation
00:12:52.598 --> 00:12:55.634
Where you face disappointment, even when you think that god
00:12:55.634 --> 00:12:58.804
Is far away from you, god is with you.
00:12:58.804 --> 00:13:02.007
There have been times in your life
00:13:02.007 --> 00:13:03.676
Where jesus is holding your hand,
00:13:03.676 --> 00:13:07.046
Speaking truth to you, and you don't even know.
00:13:07.046 --> 00:13:10.482
You didn't even know that he was showing up
00:13:11.350 --> 00:13:12.952
Until later, when you saw the miracle
00:13:12.952 --> 00:13:15.421
That started to take place in your life.
00:13:15.421 --> 00:13:17.256
But disappointment has to take place for us.
00:13:17.256 --> 00:13:20.025
And so, before we dive into the word,
00:13:20.826 --> 00:13:22.061
Let me also ask you this question
00:13:22.061 --> 00:13:23.362
How do you handle disappointment?
00:13:23.362 --> 00:13:25.831
Let's be honest.
00:13:25.831 --> 00:13:27.499
How do you react when things don't go your way?
00:13:27.499 --> 00:13:30.169
You really wanted the house.
00:13:30.169 --> 00:13:32.004
You prayed over the house, but you got denied the bank loan.
00:13:32.004 --> 00:13:35.107
Even though you've done everything you can
00:13:35.107 --> 00:13:37.743
And you're
00:13:37.743 --> 00:13:38.878
Trying to move forward, but it just doesn't look like
00:13:38.878 --> 00:13:40.379
You'll ever be able to get ahead.
00:13:40.379 --> 00:13:42.748
Maybe you prayed over the promotion.
00:13:42.748 --> 00:13:44.817
God, i think this time it's going to be for me,
00:13:44.817 --> 00:13:47.987
But instead it was given to somebody else
00:13:47.987 --> 00:13:51.190
Or maybe you said, this is the relationship,
00:13:51.190 --> 00:13:54.193
This is the one that's going to last forever,
00:13:54.193 --> 00:13:56.328
But then all of a sudden it ended quickly.
00:13:56.328 --> 00:13:59.565
And now you're believing, well, i shouldn't try.
00:13:59.565 --> 00:14:02.468
I shouldn't love anybody.
00:14:02.468 --> 00:14:04.169
I shouldn't move forward because i won't get my hopes up.
00:14:04.169 --> 00:14:07.072
It hurts to hope for things.
00:14:07.072 --> 00:14:09.842
I need hope in my life.
00:14:10.342 --> 00:14:11.677
But it hurts to hope.
00:14:11.677 --> 00:14:13.245
It hurts to have disappointments.
00:14:13.245 --> 00:14:15.948
This is what this woman is stating.
00:14:15.948 --> 00:14:17.783
Over to elijah.
00:14:17.783 --> 00:14:18.951
I told you i didn't want this.
00:14:18.951 --> 00:14:22.354
You got to see in the story
00:14:22.955 --> 00:14:24.023
That she didn't ask for the blessing.
00:14:24.023 --> 00:14:27.593
It was given to her
00:14:28.060 --> 00:14:28.961
By the grace of god.
00:14:28.961 --> 00:14:32.164
A son, but now her son was dead.
00:14:32.164 --> 00:14:34.366
And she's looking at elijah saying,
00:14:34.366 --> 00:14:35.868
I didn't ask you for this.
00:14:35.868 --> 00:14:39.405
I told you i didn't want to hope.
00:14:39.405 --> 00:14:40.773
I told you that i didn't want to get to this place
00:14:40.773 --> 00:14:43.075
Because i do not want to face disappointment again.
00:14:43.075 --> 00:14:48.614
And yet,
00:14:48.881 --> 00:14:50.983
As i look in the bible, i realize that
00:14:50.983 --> 00:14:52.818
It's through disappointments.
00:14:52.818 --> 00:14:53.752
We learn some of life's most important
00:14:53.752 --> 00:14:55.421
Lessons, especially with god.
00:14:55.421 --> 00:14:59.391
Here's what i want you to see today
00:15:00.125 --> 00:15:01.493
Some of the disappointments that you're facing,
00:15:01.493 --> 00:15:03.429
And you're questioning everything
00:15:03.429 --> 00:15:04.596
With the very disappointments that's going to bring your
00:15:04.596 --> 00:15:07.566
Your heart closer to jesus.
00:15:07.566 --> 00:15:10.636
The disappointments that you're facing today
00:15:11.570 --> 00:15:13.439
Will actually show you a revelation of how good god is.
00:15:13.439 --> 00:15:16.041
This isn't that crazy?
00:15:16.041 --> 00:15:17.576
The disappointments in your life can show you
00:15:17.576 --> 00:15:21.046
How good my god is,
00:15:21.046 --> 00:15:23.649
And how he can take what seems bad
00:15:23.649 --> 00:15:26.218
And hopeless and evil and still use it for the good.
00:15:26.218 --> 00:15:30.489
In fact, what i love about the bible is the bible proves
00:15:31.623 --> 00:15:34.660
That you're not the only one going through disappointment.
00:15:34.660 --> 00:15:38.263
Everyone who was called for greater call for more
00:15:38.263 --> 00:15:42.001
Also face disappointment that they didn't understand.
00:15:42.001 --> 00:15:45.804
Let me show you a few examples of this.
00:15:46.605 --> 00:15:49.074
The first one is joseph.
00:15:49.074 --> 00:15:51.143
Joseph was betrayed and he was forgotten,
00:15:51.143 --> 00:15:54.413
But the people that he loved the most, he was a dreamer,
00:15:54.413 --> 00:15:58.684
And his dreams from the lord showed him that he would become
00:15:58.684 --> 00:16:01.587
Someone great, that he would do a great thing
00:16:01.587 --> 00:16:03.589
For the kingdom of god.
00:16:03.589 --> 00:16:05.257
But the very dreams that god gave him.
00:16:05.257 --> 00:16:10.662
Is the whole
00:16:10.996 --> 00:16:11.663
Reason his brothers hated him.
00:16:11.663 --> 00:16:14.700
But stop right there for a second.
00:16:15.467 --> 00:16:16.969
Not everybody is going to be excited.
00:16:16.969 --> 00:16:20.406
Not everybody is going to be happy for you
00:16:20.406 --> 00:16:22.574
Over what god has spoken over your life.
00:16:22.574 --> 00:16:25.577
Let's look at the scripture right now, genesis
00:16:25.577 --> 00:16:28.147
Chapter 37, verse five.
00:16:28.147 --> 00:16:29.915
It states that one night joseph had a dream,
00:16:29.915 --> 00:16:32.918
And when he told his brothers about it.
00:16:32.918 --> 00:16:35.387
Listen to this.
00:16:35.387 --> 00:16:36.221
They hated him more than ever.
00:16:36.221 --> 00:16:39.558
They already had hatred in their hearts towards him. why?
00:16:39.558 --> 00:16:43.095
Because they were jealous over everything that he had.
00:16:43.095 --> 00:16:46.665
They thought that he was the favorite child,
00:16:46.665 --> 00:16:48.801
And they thought that he was rubbing this in their face.
00:16:48.801 --> 00:16:51.937
But it's the very thing that god spoke to him over his future,
00:16:51.937 --> 00:16:56.108
Over his purpose.
00:16:56.542 --> 00:16:58.577
And so, because
00:16:58.944 --> 00:17:00.079
Jealousy came into their hearts, there comes disorder.
00:17:00.079 --> 00:17:02.614
The bible is very clear about that.
00:17:02.614 --> 00:17:04.550
When jealousy starts to consume you,
00:17:04.550 --> 00:17:06.618
Disorder comes in your life, and all of a sudden
00:17:06.618 --> 00:17:08.987
The wrong things start to seem right to you.
00:17:08.987 --> 00:17:12.925
And so his brothers decided that they would try to kill him.
00:17:12.925 --> 00:17:16.562
But instead of killing him, they threw him into a pit
00:17:16.562 --> 00:17:19.398
And then they sold him into slavery.
00:17:19.398 --> 00:17:21.300
What i'm saying
00:17:21.300 --> 00:17:22.468
Is, joseph could have been like a lot of us, saying, god,
00:17:22.468 --> 00:17:25.370
This is a disappointment.
00:17:25.938 --> 00:17:28.607
I didn't think this would happen.
00:17:28.607 --> 00:17:30.709
You show me dreams.
00:17:30.709 --> 00:17:32.111
Why am i in a pit? why am i a slave?
00:17:32.111 --> 00:17:34.713
Why am i in prison?
00:17:34.713 --> 00:17:39.051
But the disappointment somewhere in his life,
00:17:39.918 --> 00:17:42.955
God used those disappointments to lead him into the palace,
00:17:42.955 --> 00:17:47.126
Into the position that he destined for his life.
00:17:47.126 --> 00:17:50.662
Meaning some of the disappointments
00:17:50.662 --> 00:17:52.397
That you're facing right now
00:17:52.397 --> 00:17:53.565
Could actually be leading you where you need to go.
00:17:53.565 --> 00:17:56.735
Some of the things that you want for your life right now may
00:17:57.903 --> 00:18:00.038
Lead you a different direction, but god has something for you.
00:18:00.038 --> 00:18:04.376
Meaning what may look like a set back
00:18:04.376 --> 00:18:07.146
Could actually be a set of
00:18:07.146 --> 00:18:10.415
What looks like it's holding you back.
00:18:10.415 --> 00:18:12.484
Could actually be a set up by god.
00:18:12.484 --> 00:18:15.254
The very thing that disappointed him led him to the position.
00:18:15.254 --> 00:18:18.824
Now he's got authority in the palace.
00:18:18.824 --> 00:18:21.026
And did you know that joseph's story
00:18:21.026 --> 00:18:22.828
Is the first story
00:18:22.828 --> 00:18:23.929
We see out of the bible of forgiveness towards family,
00:18:23.929 --> 00:18:27.432
Forgiveness over those that have hurt you,
00:18:28.333 --> 00:18:31.270
That have devastated you,
00:18:31.270 --> 00:18:32.638
That came after you, that slandered your name.
00:18:32.638 --> 00:18:35.174
He showed forgiveness. why?
00:18:35.174 --> 00:18:37.009
All because of a disappointment.
00:18:37.009 --> 00:18:40.712
Another one of my favorite stories,
00:18:40.712 --> 00:18:43.015
And a great example of this is it's a woman named hannah.
00:18:43.015 --> 00:18:46.585
Now in hannah
00:18:46.952 --> 00:18:47.653
Story, she longed for a child.
00:18:47.653 --> 00:18:50.822
Every year she would travel to shiloh with her family,
00:18:50.822 --> 00:18:54.626
And she would travel there
00:18:55.194 --> 00:18:56.195
And she would pray and pray for a child.
00:18:56.195 --> 00:18:58.830
God, just give me a son, give me a child.
00:18:58.830 --> 00:19:02.267
And every year she left disappointed.
00:19:02.267 --> 00:19:06.071
I felt like god wasn't listening to her.
00:19:06.939 --> 00:19:09.775
I felt like god would not answer her prayers.
00:19:09.775 --> 00:19:13.579
And to make it even worse, she also lived
00:19:13.579 --> 00:19:15.581
With another woman
00:19:15.581 --> 00:19:17.449
Who did have a lot of children, and this woman would
00:19:17.449 --> 00:19:20.419
Rub it in her face.
00:19:20.419 --> 00:19:22.621
Look at what i have and you don't have.
00:19:22.621 --> 00:19:24.890
Look at how god has blessed me.
00:19:24.890 --> 00:19:28.126
He hasn't done that for you.
00:19:28.126 --> 00:19:31.129
How do you feel with those disappointments?
00:19:31.129 --> 00:19:33.699
The bible says that hannah was married to a man named elkanah.
00:19:33.699 --> 00:19:38.470
First samuel chapter one, verse two states elkanah had two
00:19:38.470 --> 00:19:41.173
Wives, hannah and penina,
00:19:41.173 --> 00:19:44.343
And penina had children, but hannah did not.
00:19:44.343 --> 00:19:48.647
Now listen to this. verse six.
00:19:48.647 --> 00:19:50.482
So penina would taunt hannah.
00:19:50.482 --> 00:19:53.952
She would taunt hannah, make fun of her,
00:19:54.786 --> 00:19:57.956
Because the lord.
00:19:57.956 --> 00:20:03.028
As interesting,
00:20:03.395 --> 00:20:05.330
Because the lord kept her from having children.
00:20:05.330 --> 00:20:08.600
The wording there could have been.
00:20:09.334 --> 00:20:10.802
She just wasn't able to have a child,
00:20:10.802 --> 00:20:14.273
But instead the bible makes it clear
00:20:14.273 --> 00:20:15.741
It was the lord keeping her from having children.
00:20:15.741 --> 00:20:18.610
Why would god allow her in a situation
00:20:18.610 --> 00:20:21.580
Where she's praying every year?
00:20:21.580 --> 00:20:23.248
It seems like her
00:20:23.248 --> 00:20:24.449
Prayers are not being answered, and she's next to a penina
00:20:24.449 --> 00:20:28.420
That keeps making fun of her.
00:20:29.054 --> 00:20:30.789
Anybody got a penina in your life?
00:20:30.789 --> 00:20:33.392
I mean, just listen to the name benita.
00:20:33.392 --> 00:20:35.227
Like, you know, this woman has trouble,
00:20:35.227 --> 00:20:38.497
And maybe you have somebody in your life right now
00:20:38.497 --> 00:20:40.632
Always rubbing it in your face.
00:20:40.632 --> 00:20:42.701
What? you don't have, what they got.
00:20:42.701 --> 00:20:45.637
How? god bless them posting it on social media.
00:20:45.637 --> 00:20:48.740
Look at all the things that i have.
00:20:48.740 --> 00:20:50.342
And you're like, god, can you take out penina?
00:20:50.342 --> 00:20:53.345
Like, can you make her trip in her head on something like,
00:20:54.479 --> 00:20:57.616
You know, i'm gonna leave it up to you
00:20:57.616 --> 00:20:59.084
Because i've been praying for a child.
00:20:59.084 --> 00:21:03.188
How come she gets
00:21:03.622 --> 00:21:04.289
To have the children
00:21:04.289 --> 00:21:07.292
That i pray for every year?
00:21:07.292 --> 00:21:10.562
And what i love about her story.
00:21:11.196 --> 00:21:13.699
It's not that god was denying hannah of a child.
00:21:13.699 --> 00:21:17.436
She was not denied.
00:21:17.903 --> 00:21:19.671
He was actually just
00:21:19.671 --> 00:21:20.739
Preparing the right time for her child to be born.
00:21:20.739 --> 00:21:24.176
Let me say it like this.
00:21:24.710 --> 00:21:25.844
What you may think in your life is a delay is actually
00:21:25.844 --> 00:21:29.247
God's divine, perfect timing.
00:21:29.247 --> 00:21:33.051
See, there's a reason the bible states
00:21:33.051 --> 00:21:35.220
That god would not allow her to have a child
00:21:35.220 --> 00:21:38.323
Until the specific timing,
00:21:38.323 --> 00:21:41.727
Because her child would be known as samuel.
00:21:41.727 --> 00:21:44.730
Samuel.
00:21:44.730 --> 00:21:45.697
But hear from the lord, he would become a true
00:21:45.697 --> 00:21:47.933
Prophet of god, a prophet over the nation of israel,
00:21:47.933 --> 00:21:52.037
And it would be samuel at the right time
00:21:52.037 --> 00:21:54.706
That would meet a shepherd boy named david,
00:21:54.706 --> 00:21:58.176
And it would be samuel
00:21:58.643 --> 00:22:00.278
That would hear from the lord
00:22:00.278 --> 00:22:01.713
To anoint david to be the next king over israel,
00:22:01.713 --> 00:22:05.584
Leading to the genealogy of jesus christ.
00:22:05.584 --> 00:22:08.653
This specific time, which she thought was a no,
00:22:09.654 --> 00:22:12.724
Was actually just not right now.
00:22:12.724 --> 00:22:15.994
And she had many children.
00:22:15.994 --> 00:22:18.130
After samuel.
00:22:18.130 --> 00:22:22.067
Let's be real, though, when you're going through it
00:22:22.067 --> 00:22:25.637
And you got somebody making fun of you, it hurts.
00:22:25.637 --> 00:22:28.440
God, i'm so disappointed in my life.
00:22:28.440 --> 00:22:32.811
But god, so it's a plan for you.
00:22:33.445 --> 00:22:36.648
So let me encourage you today.
00:22:36.648 --> 00:22:37.983
But also let's this be stern with this.
00:22:37.983 --> 00:22:40.118
Stop rushing god.
00:22:40.118 --> 00:22:43.255
The very thing that will attack your calling
00:22:43.255 --> 00:22:45.590
And purpose is rushing god, trying to get ahead of god.
00:22:45.590 --> 00:22:50.562
Ecclesiastes.
00:22:50.929 --> 00:22:51.997
This chapter three, verse 11 states it like this.
00:22:51.997 --> 00:22:53.665
Yet god has made everything beautiful for its own time.
00:22:53.665 --> 00:22:58.303
Everything is beautiful for its own time.
00:22:59.137 --> 00:23:01.039
God has a specific time for all things,
00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:04.142
And he's never early.
00:23:04.142 --> 00:23:06.044
God is never late now.
00:23:06.044 --> 00:23:08.046
We're okay with the late part,
00:23:08.046 --> 00:23:10.248
But sometimes you're like, god, can you be a little early?
00:23:10.248 --> 00:23:13.485
Like, can i get this a little sooner? no.
00:23:13.485 --> 00:23:17.055
He's always on perfect timing
00:23:17.689 --> 00:23:21.460
Because not only does he want to bless you,
00:23:21.460 --> 00:23:25.230
But in the story of hannah, he wants to use your blessing
00:23:25.230 --> 00:23:29.134
To bless other people abraham also experiences in his life.
00:23:29.134 --> 00:23:33.605
He never thought he would have his child at the age of 100.
00:23:33.605 --> 00:23:36.441
Good lord,
00:23:36.441 --> 00:23:38.543
It's like, what are you doing?
00:23:38.543 --> 00:23:41.079
But god knew the timing.
00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:42.380
There were things in your life right now
00:23:42.380 --> 00:23:43.882
You're rushing and you're battling
00:23:43.882 --> 00:23:45.750
And you're wrestling with god. and god is saying, no, no, no.
00:23:45.750 --> 00:23:48.620
Let me remind you all of my timing is perfect.
00:23:48.620 --> 00:23:52.157
Never early, never late, always on time.
00:23:52.157 --> 00:23:55.827
Isaiah 2 to 40, verse 31 states it like this.
00:23:55.827 --> 00:23:58.630
Those who trust in the lord will find new strength.
00:23:58.630 --> 00:24:03.068
You have prayed that prayer.
00:24:03.668 --> 00:24:04.769
God made me stronger.
00:24:04.769 --> 00:24:06.972
Be careful what you pray for.
00:24:06.972 --> 00:24:11.176
Because in the waiting, when we have faith
00:24:09.708 --> 00:24:14.613
And we move with the lord, that's when we become stronger.
00:24:14.613 --> 00:24:18.483
Not only that, but we'll have the wings like eagles.
00:24:18.483 --> 00:24:21.186
Run not grow weary, not grow tired.
00:24:21.186 --> 00:24:23.722
They will walk and not be faint.
00:24:23.722 --> 00:24:25.657
You'll be able to go through some trials
00:24:25.657 --> 00:24:27.692
You never thought you would face and get through.
00:24:27.692 --> 00:24:31.263
Because the very strength that you need
00:24:31.263 --> 00:24:32.697
Doesn't come from you, but comes from above.
00:24:32.697 --> 00:24:36.468
I'm saying this lovingly to you, but some of us are stubborn.
00:24:36.468 --> 00:24:39.738
Some of us are hardheaded.
00:24:39.738 --> 00:24:41.206
Some of us grew up very tough.
00:24:41.206 --> 00:24:43.174
I can handle my own. i could do my own thing.
00:24:43.174 --> 00:24:45.677
I can handle people.
00:24:45.677 --> 00:24:46.778
You can't handle this alone.
00:24:46.778 --> 00:24:49.147
All right, guys, that's all the time we have for today.
00:24:50.215 --> 00:24:52.617
But i pray that today's message bless your life.
00:24:52.617 --> 00:24:56.354
There is a reason you heard this word today.
00:24:56.354 --> 00:24:58.890
It's not by mistake.
00:24:58.890 --> 00:25:00.358
You're here for a reason.
00:25:00.358 --> 00:25:01.693
And god has a plan for you.
00:25:01.693 --> 00:25:04.262
And listen, if you love this church
00:25:04.262 --> 00:25:06.431

We're bringing the gospel of jesus christ
00:25:24.015 --> 00:25:26.451
Into everyone's home as much as we can,
00:25:26.451 --> 00:25:29.888
So that they know the love of god.
00:25:29.888 --> 00:25:32.891
And listen.
00:25:32.891 --> 00:25:34.025
