One of the messages that comes across loud and clear today is that waiting is bad. In our Instagram world, we should be able to have anything we want instantly. But this sermon, based on Jeremiah 29:1-14, reminds us that God sometimes asks us to wait, perhaps even as long as 70 years. IT was preached October 13, 2019 at St. Peter United Church of Christ in Lake Zurich, Illinois. The guided spiritual practice at the end of the sermon (Welcoming Prayer) was found in Beth Ann Estock's book Discernment.
