You prayed for the breakthrough. So why does the answer feel so hard? Pastor Ryan Haifley says the very thing we begged God for can become the thing we complain about. In this message, Pastor Ryan Haifley, head of school at Maranatha Christian Academy in Mattoon, Illinois, speaks at Quentin Road Baptist Church on being blinded by the process. Starting from Philippians 1:6, he follows Israel from the groaning in Egypt to the doorstep of Canaan and shows four blind spots that kept them from seeing what God was doing: they were frustrated with their freedom, forgetful of God's faithfulness, fatigued in their faith, and fearful of the fight ahead. Along the way he shares what God has taught him through five years of leading a Christian school, and he points us back to the God who will finish the good work He began in us. Don't let the wilderness blind you to the promise. Scripture referenced: Philippians 1:6; Exodus 2:23-25; Exodus 14:10-12; Exodus 16:1-3; Exodus 17:1-3; Matthew 6:25-26; Exodus 32:1-6; Isaiah 40:31; Hebrews 11:1; Numbers 14:2-4

How to Have an Abundant Life - Part 1
What if the abundant life Jesus promised has less to do with what you can get and more to do with what you plant? Every fall, Quentin Road Baptist Church begins a two-part First Fruits series about trusting God with the first and the best of what He gives us, and it starts with the story of a man who believed in a seed. In this message from the series First Fruits, Pastor Jim Scudder at Quentin Road Baptist Church opens with Johnny Appleseed, then walks through Paul's thank-you to the church at Philippi. Step by step in Philippians 4:10-19, he shows how mindfulness brings opportunity, opportunity brings flourishment, flourishment brings strength, strength brings action, and action brings sweetness and satisfaction, all the way to the promise that "my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." This is not the prosperity gospel. It is a call to see God at work in a real way and to learn, at any age, to live by faith with open hands. Scripture referenced: Philippians 4:10; Matthew 10:8; John 15:8; Philippians 4:11-12; Philippians 4:13; Amos 9:13; Philippians 4:14-16; Psalms 1:3; Philippians 4:17-18; Song of Songs 2:3; Philippians 4:19; Psalms 126:5-6; 2 Corinthians 9:6; Romans 5:15

The Satanically Inspired Jewish Derangement Syndrome
On October 7, 2023, 1,200 people were killed, 251 were taken hostage, and within a day a multi-billion-dollar worldwide propaganda campaign was already accusing the victims of genocide. Where does that kind of hatred come from? Dr. Phil Stringer says it is more than human. In this message on the third anniversary of October 7th, Dr. Stringer at Quentin Road Baptist Church traces the hatred of the Jewish people back to its source. He starts in Genesis, with the rebel Lucifer who hates mankind because man bears the image of the Creator, and shows why Satan especially hates Israel, the nation designed to remind the world of the true God and His laws. From there he walks through the Bible and history: Pharaoh, Haman, the sobering words of Martin Luther, and Hitler's "Final Solution," each an attempt to make Israel a vanishing kingdom. But every one of them failed, and the Bible tells us why. God keeps His promises, and the Messiah came through the Jews to bring salvation to all who believe. Scripture referenced: Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 3:1-5; Exodus 1:8-11; Esther 3:8-11; Luke 1:54-55; John 4:22; Romans 1:16
