Cross City Church - North
July 3, 2022 / In The Meantime... / Waiting On God To Move
The greatest need we have in this broken and discouraging world is to lift our eyes and see God for who He is. God is our only Hope, and the worse the world gets, the more we need this. Join us this morning as we hear from our Young Adults Pastor, Russell Gregory, on how to endure and move forward even when we are discouraged and tired while walking through all of life's struggles.

Isaiah 40:27-31...
27 “Why do you say, O Jacob, and assert, O Israel, “My way is hidden from the Lord, And the justice due me escapes the notice of my God”? 28 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth Does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable. 29 He gives strength to the weary, And to him who lacks might He increases power. 30 Though youths grow weary and tired, And vigorous young men stumble badly, 31 Yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.”
