The Blessing that Causes Tears!October 6, 2025
Pastor Duncan\'s sermon explores the powerful truth that the most important part of every believer’s journey happens in the in-between—the space between God’s promise and its fulfillment. The pastor reminds listeners that growth, faith, and intimacy with God are developed not on the mountain top but in the waiting season. When life doesn’t yet look like the vision God revealed, that’s where He is shaping character and strengthening trust. Drawing from Genesis 26, the message focuses on Isaac’s obedience to God’s instruction to remain in the land during the famine, rather than returning to Egypt. “Egypt” represents the comfort of the past, while the “in-between” represents faith in motion. God often gives only partial directions so believers must rely on His word daily. Each step forward requires new faith, persistence, and obedience. The preacher encourages the congregation to declare, “I’m not moved by what I see or by my circumstances—only by the Word of God.” Faith must speak life even when situations appear hopeless. From Exodus 14, Moses’s act of stretching his staff shows that obedience activates divine power. God performs the miracle, but believers must first act in faith. Through Isaac’s repeated digging of wells and the woman with the issue of blood (Luke 8), the sermon illustrates perseverance: blessings come to those who keep believing despite delay, rejection, or isolation. The woman’s touch of Jesus’ garment shows that one act of determined faith can draw immediate virtue and transformation. The message concludes with a call to worship and trust—praising God through trials because deliverance, peace, and direction are found not after the struggle, but within it. The in-between is where faith matures and God’s glory is revealed.
