Waiting can be, to put it plainly, hard! While waiting for the very thing that you've been striving for, waiting for, it can be some of the most difficult moments that you can experience. But, there is something that is truly vital to your waiting process that you cannot ignore. Most people forget it or ignore it. But, it is the one thing that can enable you to see the positive culmination of what you have been waiting for. In this message, as Pastor Brown continues his series On the Edge he discusses this very thing that each of us needs to remember.

It has taken so long. You've invested so much time... energy... even money. But you haven't seen anything change yet. It feels like you are just existing. Each day it even seems like the weight of the world is resting on your shoulders and it's getting heavier day by day. The only thing that you seem to be doing is... waiting. But there is something that you have access to and the ability to gain in your waiting. In this message as Pastor Brown continues his series On the Edge he helps us to see what value we actually gain during our "waiting" season.

Growing up you may have experienced someone in your school or neighborhood who bullied you or your friends. Remember how anxious it was when you saw them?  You and your friends ran just to get away from them so you could avoid the fight and abuse that was going to ensue.  Then some simply got tired of being mistreated and, in spite of your fear decided to face this enemy and stand up for yourself.  We see that happen not just on the schoolyard or playground but other places in society and life.  In this message as Pastor Brown continues in his series On the Edge, he helps us to see how God has equipped us to deal with these matters in life and how we should respond.

You have been waiting for this moment to happen for so long. It seemed like it was going to happen before, but it fell through. But, now it seems like the door is going to truly open this time. You feel yourself getting apprehensive. What if it falls through again? How can I take it if this doesn't work for another time? But, what if it does? Am I really ready for it??? You begin losing sleep as anxiety takes hold. How do you get past this? In this message as Pastor Brown continues in his series On the Edge, he addresses these very things, helping us to gain a new perspective.

Often we spend time looking at things that we face wondering why we had to go through it.  We pray and ask God to help us, but, then turn and ask God why is this happening!  We look at our plight and get frustrated with those around us who seem to be doing "alright", not appreciating what we have in the midst of what we're going through understanding that it could be worse.  However, there is a way that we can get to a higher place and realize that we are actually in a place that is growing us for greater.  In this message as Pastor Brown continues his series On the Edge we see that the things we've gone through are actually helpful if we do this one thing.

Have you ever had to over come something? It may have seemed really challenging. Especially if you had to look at others who were standing against you. It's one thing to have to get past your challenges, but, to also deal with naysayers at the same time can be so frustrating! But, you have to remember who your true enemy is. More importantly you need to remember who your advocate is. In this message, as Pastor Brown continues his series On the Edge, he helps us to see that we will get past this moment.

There is one declaration that can be made that we should always stand on.  Trust in the Lord!  This is something easy to shout when times are going well, but, can be difficult for many to hold on to in times of difficulty.  Why is it harder during those times?  Is it because that many times when we put our trust in Him we can't always see the immediate result of that trust. Our culture has so shaped us to desire to see quick responses from everything from dieting to investing. However, as we trust in God it takes time to see the fruit. And in this message as Pastor Brown continues his series, On the Edge, we see great benefits to being willing to rely on the Lord.

There's a purpose for it.  Sometimes when you experience challenges and difficulties the last thing you can see (or even want to hear) is that there is a purpose in what you are going through.  But, we must take a moment and really think about that.  Could it be that what you are experiencing is to birth something in you?  To birth something that will impact more than you?  In this message as Pastor Brown starts his new series On the Edge he shares some things that will help you see the new.

Have you ever thought about the fact that you live in multiple dimensions?  In other words, where you are at this moment will not be the final place or dimension that you will exist in.  That can be a really trippy way of looking at things.  But, when you embrace that concept you begin to see the events that you go through differently.  In fact, it will liberate you to grab a hold of what God is taking you through in your life.  In this message as Pastor Brown concludes his series, Removing the Gray Area, he helps you to cherish this reality.

What happens when we feel like we are not going to make it?  Many stop engaging in activities that they found value in.  Others stop spending time with people who that liked to be around.  And yet others just begin doing things that are outside of their character.  Why?  Because they lack a vital ingredient that inspires and encourages them to push through.  In this message as Pastor Brown continues his series Removing the Gray Area he helps us to regain the vital thing that many of us may have lost along the way.
