GOD’S PROVISION & OUR RESPONSE WHILE WAITING

This sermon explores Psalm 27:5-6, emphasizing that God's faithfulness is not measured by the immediate removal of our storms, but by His active presence within them. Pastor Mike teaches that while we wait for deliverance, God provides two essential gifts: shelter (concealment and protection) and stability (firm footing on solid ground). The message challenges believers to respond to God's sustaining grace with sacrificial worship—offering shouts of joy, singing, and making music to the Lord—even before circumstances change. Through the lens of David's psalm written during actual warfare, the sermon addresses modern-day adversity including personal struggles, global conflicts, and societal unrest, calling the church to proclaim God's goodness not after the storm passes, but in the midst of it. The sermon culminates in a powerful baptism service celebrating five individuals publicly declaring their faith.
