Halfway: Meet Me Halfway!

The idea of “meeting God halfway” comes alive in the story of Abraham and his journey of faith. Imagine being called by God at 75 and promised countless descendants, but then waiting years without any sign of that promise being fulfilled. Abraham and Sarah, frustrated and impatient, decided to take control, leading to the birth of Ishmael instead of waiting for Isaac, the son God had promised. This story shows that while God’s promises are rock-solid, the way to get there might not always make sense and can challenge us to stay the course. It’s about trusting God’s timing and having faith that His plans are far better than anything we could come up with on our own. When we let go of our need to control and fully surrender to God’s path, that’s where we find true freedom and purpose.

From Series: "Halfway"

Have you ever said, “Meet Me Halfway?” It’s a concept we use all the time even with God. It’s like we try to convince God that we shouldn’t be forced to go the distance. We act like we paid our dues even though we only are halfway done but should be granted grace the rest of the journey. The series “Halfway” will teach us that this can be dangerous place or fuel to stir us to complete the rest of the journey.
