What Are You Waiting For? | Pastor James Jones
Pastor James Jones · October 25, 2026
What are you waiting for? In this message from Stratford Heights Church of God, Pastor James Jones preaches from Psalm 39: “And now, Lord, what wait I for? My hope is in thee.” He shows how busy lives, pressure, and past hurts drain our passion and leave us lukewarm and numb. He also shows how musing, taking time to think deeply about God’s goodness and His Word, rekindles the fire. Drawing on Job’s picture of a tree that sprouts again at the scent of water, Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well, the road to Emmaus, and the church at Laodicea, Pastor Jones calls us to stop standing on the sidelines and choose hope in Jesus Christ.
If you feel dried up, cut down, or stuck, this sermon on hope, faith, and spiritual passion is for you. You’ll hear three questions from the psalmist (my end, the measure of my days, and how frail I am) and three responses: be certain of your destiny, have a keen sense of purpose, and see yourself accurately in Christ. The service ends with an invitation and the sinner’s prayer for anyone ready to give their life to Jesus.
