August 18, 2024 | "From Doubts to Doorways: Faith and Unanswered Prayer” | Rev. Vicki Harrison
9:30 AM Service
Summary:
In the sermon “Faith and Unanswered Prayer” from the series “From Doubts to Doorways,” Pastor Vicki Harrison tackles the challenging topic of unanswered prayers, a common stumbling block in Christian faith. Drawing from personal experiences and biblical instances like those of Apostle Paul and King David, Pastor Harrison explores the complexities of God’s silence in response to our prayers. She emphasizes that while it’s easy to celebrate answered prayers, understanding God’s silence requires deep faith and trust in His plan. She reassures us that God is always present, even in silence, and that our unanswered prayers may lead to spiritual growth and a deeper relationship with God. Pastor Harrison encourages the congregation to view prayer not as a transaction but as an ongoing conversation with God, meant to sustain and mold us according to His will.
Call to Action: Reflect on the times you’ve felt your prayers were unanswered. Engage in a prayerful conversation with God about these moments, seeking understanding and peace in His presence. Let these experiences deepen your trust in God’s perfect plan for your life, affirming His promise that He is always with us.
