Dear Church Family,
When unexpected suffering hits, when a medical report shatters your plans, or when loss leaves an aching void, the hardest question isn’t theoretical. It’s personal: “Where is God right now? Why does He feel so silent when I pray?”
If you’ve ever wrestled with pain, felt abandoned, or felt like your faith was fracturing under the weight of reality, this weekend’s message is for you.
This weekend, as we continue our series Always Be Ready, Pastor Grant will take us into the Scriptures to explore what to do When God Seems Silent.
We’ll discover how God meets us directly in our dark moments—not from a cold distance, but through a Savior who carried our grief, knows our pain, and promises to hold us through every storm.
ICYMI – Watch my sermon from last Sunday about how important (and comforting!) it is to know that Jesus is more than a man.
GROW Class Starts This Sunday! – For those who’ve completed START Class and are ready to keep growing in God’s Word and a life filled with joyful purpose.
Faith & Family Night – Resumes October 21 – Life gets busy, but God invites us to pause, be refreshed in His Word, and connect with our church family. Join us for Bible studies in English and Spanish, DSYouth, DSTeens, and childcare for little ones. Find all the opportunities in the DSC App → DSC Info → Groups & Classes. We’ll end the evening together with a special time of devotion, song, and encouragement in God’s Word. Together, we grow in faith, strengthen meaningful relationships, and are equipped to reflect the light of Christ in our daily lives.
