What Do You Do When God Doesn't Show Up the Way You Expected? | John 11 | Pastor Damon Smith, MD

What do you do when God doesn’t show up the way you expected? You’ve prayed. You’ve believed. You’ve waited. But instead of things getting better, they’ve gotten worse. Where is God when life doesn’t go according to plan? In this powerful Launch Sunday message, “COME FORTH!”, Pastor Damon L. Smith, MD, takes us into John 11 and the story of Lazarus to reveal a life-changing truth: God’s delay is not a denial of His love, and your present circumstances do not limit His power. Sometimes we’ve placed God in a box—not because we don’t believe in Him, but because we’ve limited our expectations to what we’ve already experienced. Yet God wants to reveal Himself in greater ways, deepen our relationship with Him, and manifest His glory in our lives. Whether you’re navigating grief, disappointment, financial pressure, broken relationships, addiction, or even a season of success, this message will challenge you to move beyond simply knowing what God can do to discovering more of who He is. 🔥 In this message, you’ll discover: Why God’s timing doesn’t always match our expectations How disappointment can quietly limit our faith Why Jesus declared, “I AM the resurrection and the life” What it means to remove the stone and partner with God through obedience How to come out of the places that have kept you bound and begin walking in freedom Your past doesn’t have the final word. Your disappointment doesn’t have the final word. Jesus does! It’s time to COME FORTH! Welcome to Freedom House, where our mission is to lead people into authentic freedom through Jesus Christ. Authentic Freedom. Real Transformation. 📖 Scripture: John 11:1–44 🙌 If this message speaks to you, LIKE, SHARE, and SUBSCRIBE.
