Seasons of silence can feel like a spiritual waiting room where prayers seem unanswered and God appears quiet. Drawing from Psalm 27 and the events between the cross and the resurrection, Pastor Lee Jenkins reminds believers not to leave the waiting room too soon. Even when nothing seems to be happening, God is working behind the scenes to bring resurrection out of what looks like defeat.Verses: Psalm 27:13–14, Luke 23:50–56, Colossians 2:15Key Points/Topics Covered:Understanding The Biblical Meaning Of Waiting As Active TrustDo Not Confuse God’s Silence With His AbsenceHow Waiting Strengthens Faith More Than WarfareThe Difference Between Being Buried And Being PlantedHolding On To Expectation While In The In Between SeasonTime Stamps00:00 - Introduction To The Waiting Room Theme05:30 - Psalm 27:14 And The Meaning Of Wait12:45 - Saturday Between The Cross And The Resurrection20:10 - Do Not Confuse Silence With Absence28:40 - Do Not Let Waiting Discourage You36:55 - Buried Versus Planted Illustration44:20 - Prayer For Those In The Waiting Room50:30 - Salvation Invitation And ClosingMain Takeaways:- Waiting on God is not passive; it is actively trusting, hoping, and leaning into Him even without clear answers.- Just because God seems silent does not mean He is absent; He is often doing His greatest work behind the scenes.- What feels like burial may actually be planting, and God can bring resurrection out of apparent defeat.Call to Action:Subscribe to the Eagles Nest Church podcast, share this message with someone who may be in a waiting season, and visit EaglesNestChurch.org to learn more and stay connected throughout the week.

God is not finished, even when life feels dark and final. Pastor Lee Jenkins walks through the events of Good Friday in Luke 23 to remind believers not to quit when circumstances seem overwhelming. What looks like the end is often the setup for resurrection, and temporary Fridays should never cause us to abandon permanent promises.Verses: Luke 23:44–49, James 1:2, 1 John 4:4, Isaiah 54:17, Romans 10:9Key Points/Topics Covered:Do Not Let Darkness Make You Doubt GodDo Not Misread What God Is Doing Through Painful CircumstancesDo Not Step Back So Far That You Stop BelievingThe Curtain Torn as a Symbol of Access to GodTemporary Fridays Versus Permanent PromisesTime Stamps00:00 - Introduction to Wait Till Sunday Series06:45 - Reading Luke 23:44–49 and Setting the Scene12:30 - Do Not Let Darkness Make You Doubt God20:15 - Personal Story of Church Discouragement in 202230:40 - Do Not Misread What God Is Doing40:10 - Do Not Step Back So Far That You Stop Believing48:30 - Prayer for Those Facing a Temporary Friday55:00 - Invitation to Follow ChristMain Takeaways:- Darkness does not mean God is absent; He is still working even when you cannot see it.- What looks finished to you may only be the beginning of what God is building.- Do not let a temporary Friday make you walk away from a permanent promise.Call to Action:Subscribe to the Eagles Nest Church podcast, share this message with someone who needs encouragement, and visit eaglesnestchurch.org to stay connected and learn more about upcoming services and events.

Spiritual pride can quietly seep into the life of a believer, causing comparison, judgment, and self-righteousness. Through the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, Jesus reveals that God honors humility over religious performance. True justification comes not from boasting in good works but from depending fully on God’s grace.Verses: Luke 18:9–14, Luke 19, Matthew 23:23, Ephesians 2:8–9, Romans 5:1Key Points/Topics Covered:The Danger of Spiritual Pride and Self-RighteousnessComparing Ourselves to Others Instead of to GodPerformance-Based Faith Versus Grace-Based JustificationThe Meaning of Justification as Declared RighteousChoosing Humility Over a Holier Than Thou AttitudeTime Stamps00:00 - Introduction to Christian Ish Series04:30 - Foundational Scripture from Luke 1810:15 - Understanding Pharisees and Tax Collectors18:40 - Comparing Ourselves to Others Versus God24:30 - Advertising Goodness Versus Acknowledging Brokenness31:45 - The Meaning of Justification Explained40:00 - Signs of a Modern-Day Pharisee46:30 - Prayer for Humility and Salvation InvitationMain Takeaways:- Comparing yourself to others can create pride, but comparing yourself to God produces humility.- Justification is not earned through religious performance but received through faith and God’s grace.- God exalts those who humble themselves and depend fully on His mercy.Call to Action:Subscribe to the Eagles Nest Church podcast, share this message with someone who needs encouragement, and visit eaglesnestchurch.org to learn more and stay connected throughout the week.

Moving from a casual faith to a committed walk with Christ requires intentional surrender and daily obedience. Pastor Lee Jenkins challenges believers to examine whether they are consumer Christians who seek comfort or committed disciples who deny themselves, take up their cross, and fully follow Jesus.

God is calling His people into a season of Reconstruction, rebuilding what has been broken in faith, family, finances, and community.
