Summary

What do you do when God does not answer your prayers the way you hoped, or when He does not explain Himself at all? From Horatio Spafford’s heartbreaking loss that gave birth to the hymn It Is Well to Jesus’ difficult teaching in John 6, Pastor Joby Martin shows us that worship is not a warm-up or background music. Worship is war. In this message, you will see that when life presses in and the valley feels overwhelming, worship becomes the very thing that sustains us. It silences the lies of the enemy and reminds us that Jesus alone is the Bread of Life. Circumstances may never fully make sense on this side of eternity, but the gospel is enough to anchor our souls. Life is hard. God is good. Both are true at the same time. And in the tension of unanswered questions, worship is how we fight back and declare that our trust is in Him. 📣 Episode Mentions: Scripture Passage: John 6:1-69 Preacher: Pastor Joby Martin Hymns Album 📌 Supplemental Resources From This Week: Peace Through Infertility and Loss - The Barber's Story It Is Well - Worship is War: Wk 2 When God Won’t Explain Himself - Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin S23E2 Worship is War Sermon Series About The Church of Eleven22 The Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.
