When God Doesn’t Show Up

What do you do when God doesn’t show up the way you expected?

In this message, we step into the story of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus—a story filled with urgency, disappointment, and unanswered questions. Jesus is close enough to help, but he doesn’t come. And the silence leaves people asking the question many of us have asked: Where were you?

This moment sits right on the edge of something bigger. But before anything changes, there is grief, confusion, and the weight of not understanding.

Lent doesn’t rush past those moments.

It invites us to stay with them.

To sit with the questions.

To acknowledge the disappointment.

And to consider what it means that God is present, even here.
