God’s delay is not weakness. It is mercy.In this message, John Gunter continues the God Revealed series by focusing on the patience of God. Many people ask why evil continues, why sin seems unchecked, or why judgment has not yet come. Scripture gives a surprising answer. God is patient.Through 2 Peter chapter 3, this sermon explains that God’s patience is intentional. He is not ignoring sin, nor is He slow to act. Instead, He is giving people time to repent and return to Him. The delay of consequences is not proof that everything is okay. It is evidence of God’s mercy and kindness.This message also warns about the danger of presuming on God’s patience. We often convince ourselves there will always be more time. Yet Scripture reminds us that life moves quickly, judgment is real, and God’s patience is meant to lead us toward transformation now, not later.Key Themes: God’s patience flows from His desire for repentance  Delayed judgment does not mean sin is ignored  Mercy removes judgment while patience delays it  Assuming we always have more time is spiritually dangerous  God’s kindness is meant to draw us back to Him 📖 Scriptures: 2 Peter 3:9–10, Romans 2:4, Ecclesiastes 8:11, Hebrews 9:27, Genesis 6📲 Subscribe and share this message with someone who needs to be reminded that God’s patience has a purpose

God does not change, even when everything else does.In this message, John Gunter continues the God Revealed series by focusing on the faithfulness of God. Through Lamentations chapter 3, we are reminded that faith is not built on circumstances. It is built on who God is.Even in moments of deep pain, loss, and uncertainty, the writer chooses to remember. God’s love never ceases. His mercies are new every morning. His faithfulness remains steady.This sermon challenges us to shift from reacting to our situation to remembering God’s character. While people fail and plans fall apart, God does not lie, does not change, and does not abandon His people. Even when we are weak or inconsistent, He remains faithful.Key Themes: Faith is choosing to remember who God is  God’s faithfulness is not based on our circumstances  We often project our inconsistency onto God  God remains faithful even when we struggle  Trusting God brings stability in unstable seasons 📖 Scriptures: Lamentations 3:19–24, Numbers 23:19, Hebrews 10:23, 2 Timothy 2:11–13, Psalm 89:30–33📲 Subscribe and share this message with someone who needs to be reminded that God is still faithful
