The Mustard Seed

I bet everyone in this room tonight has had their own period of waiting, where it feels like God has vanished when you needed him most. And I'm not going to lie, those periods suck. Waiting is painful. It's scary. It pushes your trust in a world where most of us are used to having... But later... along with...answers at our fingertips. Oftentimes in these situations we want to rush to a resolution to end the pain of waiting as quickly as possible. We might even doubt God's existence if the silence goes on long enough. But it's important that we remember silence does not equal absence. Just like in the Easter story, oftentimes what follows a period of uncertainty and waiting can be life's greatest blessings.
