Prisonchaplain Gives Talk: Waiting on God

[prisonchaplain]

When I speak at the jail we can never record...so it's always fun to share these recordings, on those occasions when I speak outside. Hope you enjoy: Assemblies of God Online Sermons and Podcasts | Angle Lake Neighborhood Church | Angle Lake Neighborhood Church

Hey, PC, in listening to your sermon, you said something that made me question.

You were describing events from the Bible of those who waited. One example was of the disciples waiting for 3 days for the Lord to be resurrected. You described those three days as a long, hard wait...so difficult that one of them denied Jesus three times during that time.

But, didn't Peter deny Christ while Jesus was being interrogated and before the crucifixion? I'm a little confused on your timeline in this particular example.

Without rechecking my sermon, I would guess that I conflated the hours before the crucifixion (including the interrogation, scourging, and crucifixion) with the three days after his actual death. In other words--you are right...but, it's kinda like when I tell people I'm from Seattle, and only when I find out that they are from my area do I say, "Well...actually, I live in Federal Way."

BTW...I'm flattered that you listened close enough to catch that! :-)

Ahh, gotcha! I thought I was the only one that stretched things to fit what I'm trying to say! LOL!

I appreciated the posting your sermon. This topic is something I've been thinking about lately and you helped me remember the eternal perspective of what appears to be something hard now. Thank you.
