What’s Up When God Seems Strangely Silent

Have you ever wondered if God is silent to your prayer requests? I remember the day I received the phone call from my brother that his wife (my sister in law) had left him and their three young kids. His hopes to pursue pastoral ministry crushed. Our family devastated with the news. We brought our hurt and anger and needs to the Lord and I'm sure my brother did too...and we did so for a long time. Months turned into years. Toddlers turned into school aged children. Grandparents became parents once again. Those were difficult years...years where it often felt like God was silent or hidden and definitely unfair. At least to my nieces and nephew I thought. Yet God proved Himself to be Immanuel, God with US in our suffering.   Join us this Sunday as we explore a story in Matthew 15 that may cause one to ask, "does Jesus really care about me and my needs?"   Pastor Rob
