The God of All Seasons: When God Says No - February 15 2026 - Rev. Elissa Dodge

Sometimes the answer is silence.Sometimes it’s delay.And sometimes… it’s no.A door closes. A prayer goes unanswered the way we hoped. The path we mapped out  disappears beneath our feet.But God’s “no” is not rejection. It’s protection. It’s redirection. It’s a larger story unfolding beyond what we can see.We trust Him easily when He says yes. We learn to trust Him deeply when He says no.Because faith isn’t believing God will follow our plan — it’s believing His plan is better than ours.We would be delighted if you could join us in person for our Sunday morning worship service! It starts at 10 am every Sunday, and there are multiple Sunday School options available before the worship service. Children’s Church is also available during the worship service.Hope Wesleyan Church505 4th Ave NEIndependence, IA 50644319-334-7148
