A Problem For My Problem (Jonathan Rivera)

What if the season you're eager to get through is actually where God wants to meet you? It's easy to fixate on your past, your future, or someone else’s progress and miss what's happening right now. But God’s present here in the middle, too, and He’s up to more than you may realize.  If you’ve just made a decision for Christ, please respond HERE: http://ele.vc/tIepfr Scripture References: John 21, verses 18-22 – Jesus tells Peter to follow Him. Acts 3, verses 1-11 – Peter and John heal a lame man.

Wondering if the best parts of your life are already behind you? Grieving what used to be? Past mistakes, missed opportunities, and comparison can make it difficult to hope, but your past doesn't limit your purpose, and someone else's highlight reel isn’t your measuring stick. God’s still writing your story, and there's more ahead than you realize. If you’ve just made a decision for Christ, please respond HERE: http://ele.vc/tIepfr Scripture References: John 21, verses 13-25 – Jesus feeds disciples and restores Peter. John 4, verse 32-33– Disciples wonder if someone brought Jesus food. Acts 10, verses 13-14 – Peter refuses the voice's command to eat.

You can love God and still feel lost. You can believe in His promises and still wonder what comes next. But your worst moments don’t have to define your future. Jesus doesn't turn away from you when you fall short; He invites you to come back, receive His grace, and keep moving forward. If you’ve just made a decision for Christ, please respond HERE: http://ele.vc/tIepfr Scripture References: John 21, verses 1-13 – Risen Jesus cooks breakfast for fishing disciples. John 18, verses 17-18 – Peter denies Jesus while warming by fire.

It's one thing to receive something good from God. It's another thing to learn how to hold onto it when life gets hard. The enemy’s attack doesn’t get to take away the confidence, peace, or purpose God has given you. When you're feeling overwhelmed, remember: The strength to hold on comes from knowing Who's holding on to you.  If you’ve just made a decision for Christ, please respond HERE: http://ele.vc/tIepfr Scripture References: John 10, verse 10 – The thief steals, but Jesus gives life. 2 Samuel 5, verses 17-24 – David prays to God and defeats the Philistines. Psalm 144, verses 1-2 – David praises God, who trains his hands.

Have you been waiting a long time for something that still hasn't happened yet? This message from Pastor Stephen Chandler will remind you that God hasn’t forgotten about you, even if you haven’t seen the progress you hoped for yet. What if He’s using the season you're in right now to prepare you for what comes next? If you’ve just made a decision for Christ, please respond HERE: http://ele.vc/tIepfr Scripture References: Psalm 105, verses 16-22 – Joseph was sold, imprisoned, then made ruler. Jeremiah 1, verse 5 – God knew and appointed Jeremiah before birth. 1 Corinthians 2, verse 9 – God has prepared things beyond human imagination. Genesis 37, verse 10 – Jacob scolds Joseph over his dream. Genesis 39, verses 3-4 and 22-23 – The Lord prospered Joseph in every place. Luke 16, verse 12 – Faithfulness with another’s property precedes ownership. Proverbs 13, verse 12 – Hope deferred sickens; fulfilled desire is life. Romans 4, verse 19 – Abraham’s faith stayed strong despite his age

This is a message for someone ready to give up. In Philippians, the Apostle Paul shows us what’s on the other side of pain when we persevere with Christ. And here’s the good news: You don’t have to be afraid anymore. If you’ve just made a decision for Christ, please respond HERE: http://ele.vc/tIepfr Scripture References: Philippians 1, verses 12-14 – Paul's chains advance the gospel, emboldening others. 2 Corinthians 5, verse 10 – All must appear before Christ's judgment seat.

What if the thing you've been worrying about could become the thing you pray about? Trusting God doesn't mean you'll never feel afraid, it means you don't have to carry your fear by yourself. The next time your mind starts rehearsing everything that could go wrong, turn the worry into a prayer and remind yourself: You have a Father who knows what you need. If you’ve just made a decision for Christ, please respond HERE: http://ele.vc/tIepfr Scripture References: Psalm 56, verses 1-4 – When afraid, David chooses to trust God. 1 Samuel 21, verses 8-12 – Trapped in Gath, David becomes very afraid. Philippians 4, verse 6 – Present every request to God in prayer. Matthew 6, verses 31-32 – Don't worry, your Father knows what you need.

What do you do when you keep showing up, but nothing seems to be changing? Just because progress doesn’t look like you expected doesn’t mean it’s not happening. If you’re frustrated with where you are or focused on where you thought you’d be by now, discover how God can give you the strength to keep going, make adjustments, and trust Him with your next step. If you’ve just made a decision for Christ, please respond HERE: http://ele.vc/tIepfr Scripture References: Joshua 6, verses 1-16, 20 – Israel marches around Jericho for seven days

Some hard things are part of growing. Others come from staying stuck in patterns God is trying to lead us out of. You may not be able to skip every difficult season, but you can stop letting fear, doubt, or disobedience keep you there longer than you need to be. When you can't skip what you're going through, praise can help you keep moving forward. If you’ve just made a decision for Christ, please respond HERE: http://ele.vc/tIepfr Scripture References: Hebrews 11, verses 29-31 – Red Sea crossed, Jericho fell, Rahab spared Numbers 14, verse 2 – Israelites murmur against Moses and Aaron Joshua 6, verses 9-10 – army marches silently until commanded to shout Matthew 4, verses 1-11 – Jesus fasts, tempted by devil in wilderness

Hold on to your praise, even in your darkest seasons. Drawing from the story of Paul and Silas in prison, this message reveals how worship isn’t a reflection of our current circumstances, but a declaration of God’s unchanging faithfulness. When we choose to praise God in the middle of pain, we invite His presence into our struggle and turn our deepest trials into a testimony for others.
