Faithful In the Middle I Pastor Dale Bronner

About this sermon

"He trapped them so that they would have a captive audience so that they would stand back and watch what God would do." In this message, "Faithful in the Middle," Pastor Dale walks through Israel's moment caught between the Red Sea and Pharaoh's approaching army (Exodus 13:17; 14:10) to unpack what it means to be stuck in the middle — between a promise and its fulfillment, between who you were and who you're becoming, between the life you left and the one you haven't reached yet. Drawing on the stories of Abraham and Sarah's impatience, Hagar's wilderness encounter, and David's fall roughly twenty years into his reign, this message names the temptations that show up in the middle — forgetfulness, second thoughts, blindness to what God can still do, and impatience — and lands on a simple charge: fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord. You'll learn: • Why God deliberately routed Israel into a dead end at the Red Sea instead of the shorter, safer road • The four temptations that show up when we're in the middle of something: forgetfulness, second thoughts, blindness to divine intervention, and impatience • How Abraham and Sarah's shortcut with Hagar shows that God's faithfulness doesn't depend on ours • Why Hagar's encounter in the wilderness — "You are the God that sees me" — still speaks to anyone who feels discarded • What David's fall roughly twenty years into his reign teaches about losing your way in the middle, and being found again 📖 Scriptures referenced: Exodus 13:17 · Exodus 14:10 · 1 Corinthians 13:11 · 2 Samuel 5:2 · 2 Corinthians 4:8 🔔 Subscribe for weekly messages, and share this with someone who needs a word today. 🌐 Website: www.woffamily.org 📲 Follow us on Instagram: @woffamily 📘 Facebook: @woffamily To support the ministry: Online: www.woffamily.org/give Text: Text "WOF" to 73256 Mail In: Word of Faith Family Worship Cathedral - 212 Riverside Pkwy, Austell, GA 30168 Sunday Services: In person 8:30 AM & 11:00 AM / Online @ 6:00 PM Church Address: 212 Riverside Pkwy Austell, GA 30168
