Waiting is one of the hardest parts of life — especially when God feels quiet. In this message from Matthew 1:17–24, we explore how the Christmas story reframes waiting, not as God’s absence, but as the space where He is most present. Through Israel’s long history, Joseph’s faithful obedience without full clarity, and the promise of Emmanuel, we’re reminded that God works on a timeline, not a deadline. You may be waiting — but God is with you, and He is still working.
