Why does God take so long - JJ Vasquez

About this sermon

Have you ever wondered, “Why am I still struggling with this if I’ve been following Jesus for so long?” Maybe you expected to be further along by now. You thought the habits would be gone, the thoughts would be different, or that certain struggles wouldn’t still have such a hold on you. But what if your frustration isn’t proof that God isn’t working—what if it’s the result of a wrong expectation of how transformation works? In this message, Pastor JJ teaches from Philippians 1:6 and reminds us that the God who began a good work in you will carry it to completion. Spiritual growth isn’t always instant, obvious, or on our timeline. God has already begun, He hasn’t stopped, and He’s not finished with you yet. You may be more different than you realize. “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 1:6 Welcome to Journey Church!
