“But the fruit of the Spirit is… patience.” ~ Galatians 5:22 (NIV) ~ In his sermon “Better Odds” Andy Stanley makes a great statement. He’s talking about waiting on God, and he says something along these lines: “We look at our watches; God looks at the calendar.” One of the most difficult lessons for believers to learn is to wait on God. By nature we’re not patient, and our culture offers little encouragement to develop the habit. We want, we need, we think we deserve everything now. Remember that Sarah waited until she was old for the son she had always dreamed about; Moses waited for 40 years on the backside of the desert for God’s call; Joseph PASTORAL STAFF languished in prison for 15 years before God Terrell Eldreth, vindicated him. Even Paul spent 17 years in Senior Pastor preparation before he began the ministry that Scott Terry, God called him to on the road to Damascus. Worship Pastor But you can be sure that each of these saints Ken Kopal, would say it was worth the wait. It always is. Family Life Pastor There are, no doubt, a number of things that you are waiting for, too: OFFICE CONTACT & HOURS victory, healing, peace, growth, vindication, success. Today I encourage you to remember one thing: God is on his way. Sometimes the night seems MONDAY — THURSDAY to last forever. Sometimes his silence seems permanent. That’s because we 8:30 PM — 2:30 PM look at the clock while he looks at the calendar.

He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope fsbcpv@firstsouthernpv.org of God’s work from beginning to end.” Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NLT) SUNDAY SCHEDULE We cannot see the whole scope of God’s work, but the scope exists. We may not see the big picture, but there is one. Today might be just another • Sunday School for all ages 9:00 AM day of waiting for you, but here’s how you can make it better: Take your eyes off the clock and turn them toward Jesus. Spend this time waiting in • Morning Worship Service 10:30 AM expectation rather than desperation. God is at work in your life, making all things beautiful in their time. • Kidz 4 Christ during Morning Worship Blessings on your week as you try to remember that God is on His way in • Evening Worship Service your life and situation. Sunday evening, we will look at how to cultivate 6:00 PM patience in three key areas of our lives. I know, you can hardly wait! Pastor Terrell
