    Jesus And The Agony Of Unanswered Prayer – Part 2 of 2

    Deep sorrow often stems from the silence of God in our darkest hours. Even our redeemer faced the agony of unanswered prayer. In this message from Mark 14, Pastor Lutzer reveals three lessons on receiving trials from God's hand, the necessity of silence, and finding grace to endure. Could a "no" from Heaven may be God's most merciful way of hearing us?

    Jesus And The Agony Of Unanswered Prayer – Part 1 of 2

    We all eventually face the crushing weight of a prayer left unanswered. Jesus wrestled with the Father's will in the Garden of Gethsemane. In this message from Mark 14, Pastor Lutzer discusses four critical questions about the "cup" of wrath and Christ's ultimate surrender. Let's find enduring peace when heaven seems silent.

    When The Answer Disappoints – Part 2 of 2

    Faith sometimes changes your circumstances. Sometimes it doesn't. In this message from Hebrews 11, Pastor Lutzer explains how we can trust God's character even when we can't see His hand in our deepest trials. Can God fulfill His promises when it appears there is no way for Him to secure the ultimate victory?

    When The Answer Disappoints – Part 1 of 2

    Why are so many Christians cynical about prayer? They probably would share a story about how God did not intervene when they needed Him. In this message, Pastor Lutzer shares four facts about faith in Hebrews 11. God does miracles for some people and not for others, and yet he invites us to grow closer to Him through both.

    When The Answer Is Denied – Part 2 of 2

    When we're in need, we naturally pray for God to provide and relieve the burden we carry. But sometimes God's answer is "no." In this message, Pastor Lutzer reveals two ways to make a burden more bearable. What if the "no" answers are still answers from a gracious God?

    When The Answer Is Denied – Part 1 of 2

    At times, God answers a believer's prayer with a clear "no." Paul prayed for relief and the Lord said "no." In this message from 2 Corinthians 12, Pastor Lutzer asks critical questions about Paul's thorn in the flesh. When God answers in the negative, we have a choice to become resent or increase in our faith.

    When The Answer Is Disguised – Part 2 of 2

    When God answers prayer in ways we don't expect, we're reminded that we need Him more than the answers. Knowing Him is more vital than getting what we want. In this message from Hebrews 11, Pastor Lutzer provides three observations about those suffering in the will of God. Is our relationship with God stronger than our suffering?
