You've been praying. You've been faithful. You've been waiting... and waiting... and waiting.
Sound familiar?
In this powerful message from Luke 1:5-25, we meet an elderly couple who'd been praying for decades with no answer in sight. But when God finally speaks, His answer is bigger—and stranger—than anything they could have imagined.
In this message, discover:
✅ Why God's promises aren't bound to your current circumstances
✅ How God's sovereign plan often defies our expectations (and why that's good news)
✅ The critical difference between honest questions and unbelief
✅ What faithful living looks like between promise and fulfillment
Zechariah wanted a baby. God gave him John the Baptist—the forerunner of the Messiah. God's delays aren't accidents; they're part of His eternal purpose to accomplish something greater than we could ask or imagine.
The Bottom Line: Be assured of God's power to fulfill His promises—and live faithfully in the meantime.
This isn't prosperity gospel—it's the hard truth that righteousness doesn't exempt us from trials, but God uses even our hardest seasons as the canvas for His greatest work.
Whether you're waiting on God's promises for breakthrough, provision, or direction, this expositional message will ground your faith in Scripture when the waiting gets hard.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
