When God Seems Odd | Dr. E. Dewey Smith | Keion Henderson TV

About this sermon

Have you ever prayed for a breakthrough, only for God to seem silent? This powerful sermon, "When God Seems Odd," addresses the spiritual frustration that arises when God’s timing doesn't align with our expectations. Referencing the familiar yet perplexing passage in St. John 11:5-6, this message dives deep into the story of Jesus and Lazarus, showing us that when God delays, He is often working a greater miracle. Jesus purposefully waited, even though He loved Lazarus and his sisters. This sermon will teach you how to: • Maintain your faith when God's actions seem confusing. • Trust God's perspective, even when His timing seems "odd." • Understand that delay is not denial, but divine preparation.
