When Waiting Become A Witness

What if your season of waiting isn’t a setback, but a setup for something greater?

In this week’s sermon Junior High Director, Sean Murphy, explores Psalm 40:1–3 and the truth that our waiting can draw us closer to God, deepen our trust, and become a powerful testimony to others. Pastor Sean shares personal stories, biblical insight, and even the words of an 8th-grade student to show that when we wait expectantly—not passively—God hears, God moves, and God transforms.

🔑 Big Ideas:

• Waiting focuses our prayers
• Waiting draws us into God's power
• Waiting becomes our witness

📖 Scripture Focus:

• Psalm 40:1–3
• Romans 8:24–26
• Matthew 16:21–23
• John 15:1–5
• 1 Corinthians 3:10–15

Whether you’re in a season of delay, uncertainty, or spiritual dryness, this message reminds you that God sees you, hears your cry, and is working even in the silence.

You’ll leave encouraged to:

• Pray with expectancy
• Trust God’s timing
• Share your story to build others’ faith

Let this summer be a time of “rhythms and relationships” as we wait well—and witness boldly.
