41 Is Coming (Sermon)

This powerful message takes us through the biblical significance of the number 40 and introduces us to the hope of 'day 41'—the breakthrough moment that follows seasons of preparation. We journey through Noah's 40 days in the ark, Moses' 40 years in the desert, and David's encounter with Goliath on the 41st day of taunting. Each story reveals a profound truth: God uses extended seasons not to abandon us, but to prepare us for what's coming next. The message challenges us to recognize that whatever we've been enduring—whether it feels like endless rain, desert wandering, or facing daily giants of depression, addiction, or illness—has been a season of preparation. Our breakthrough isn't just possible; it's imminent. We're reminded of three foundational lessons for moving forward: the Holy Spirit will lead and guide us into all truth, we can trust Jesus for divine provision and miracles, and nothing compares to the presence of God. This isn't just about institutional history; it's about personal transformation. When we draw near to God, He draws near to us, and His presence releases the power we need to live the life He's called us to live. Today can be our day 41—the day the giant falls, the rain stops, and the calling is fulfilled.
