When Jesus Shows Up Late

 • Josh Watkins • Series: Come and See: The Gospel of John

What do you do when you pray and God doesn't answer — at least not the way you hoped, or when you hoped? In this episode, Joshua Watkins preaches from John 11 and the story of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus to bring a word of deep comfort and honest challenge. Through three powerful truths — that Jesus' silence isn't absence, that God welcomes our raw and broken prayers, and that hope isn't a feeling or a circumstance but a Person — this message speaks directly to anyone who has ever sat in a spiritual waiting room wondering if God is still working. Whether you're in a season of grief, doubt, or unanswered prayer, this sermon will remind you: the stone isn't rolled away yet, but Jesus is still asking, "Do you believe?" 📖 Scripture: John 11:17–27
