When You Can't See God Working

Why does God sometimes feel silent when we're praying the hardest? This Sunday, Pastor Joey Cook continues our Through the Bible series by unpacking the life of Daniel. From the king's table to the fiery furnace, from the lions' den to twenty-one days of unanswered prayer, we discover that God is often working long before we can see it. This message reminds us that faithful presence with God over a lifetime leads to confidence in God's presence during the crisis—and that when we pray, heaven moves before earth changes.

Joseph: When the Coat Gets Taken

In this powerful message from Genesis 37–50, Pastor Joey Cook walks through the story of Joseph and reveals how God’s sovereign plan cannot be stopped — even through betrayal, suffering, pits, prisons, and pain.

Commitment Issues

THE DANGER OF STRENGTH

What if your greatest danger isn’t weakness…but becoming strong enough to slowly stop depending on God? This Sunday, Pastor Joey Cook continues our SUNDAY SCHOOL series by walking through the life of Samson in Judges 13–16. Samson was gifted. Empowered. Strong. But underneath the outward strength was a slow inward drift away from intimacy with God. This message explores the danger of strength without surrender, the subtle nature of spiritual disconnection, and the hope that God still meets us at the end of ourselves. BIG IDEA “Your greatest danger is not weakness…it’s strength without dependence on God.” KEY THEMES • Strength vs dependence • Self-sufficiency • Spiritual drift • Abiding in Christ • The danger of disconnected success • Samson & the Gospel • Jesus as the better Samson • Daily surrender • Weakness and intimacy with God Resources & Next Steps: ❌ Scripture Referenced: Judges 16, Deuteronomy 8:11-14, John 15:5, Phillippians 2:5-8, Matthew 16:25, Luke 9:23 ❌ Visit Us: www.citychurch.tv [http://www.citychurch.tv/] ❌ Follow us on Instagram: @citychurchx
