The Waiting Room
🌟 Sermon Summary: The Waiting Room | Pastor Catherine Chan | 22 June 2025 🌟
This Sunday, Pastor Catherine Chan spoke directly into the often uncomfortable and overlooked season of life we all go through—the waiting room.
In her message titled “The Waiting Room,” she gently unpacked what it means to wait on God, and how waiting is not wasted—but divinely purposeful.
🕰 What Happens in the Waiting?
1️⃣ Waiting Builds Our Character
📖 Psalm 27:14 – “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.”
God isn’t just preparing the promise—He’s preparing you.
Waiting purifies our motives, strengthens patience, and teaches trust.
If God gave us everything instantly, we would never learn dependence.
2️⃣ Waiting Tests Our Faith
📖 Lamentations 3:25 – “The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him.”
In silence, we question: Is God listening? Has He forgotten me?
But in truth, God is closer than we feel.
It’s not about how long we wait, but how we wait well—with hope.
3️⃣ Waiting Prepares the Way for Greater Glory
📖 Isaiah 40:31 – “But they who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength…”
When we wait on God, we don’t grow weaker—we grow stronger.
His timing is perfect. His ways are higher.
And what we gain in waiting can’t be found in rushing.
💡 Key Reflection:
Are you in God’s waiting room?
Don’t run. Don’t doubt. Don’t despair.
Lean in. Trust more. Worship deeper.
Waiting isn’t passive—it’s active faith that declares:
“I may not see it yet, but I trust the One who does.”
