Sermon Notes

Church Notes | October 25, 2026
Speaker: Minister Tammy Stewart
Title: The Other Side of the Story (The Side You Don't See)
Scripture: Jeremiah 29:11, Romans 8:18

Key Message:
What we see in our present circumstances is not the complete story of what God is doing in our lives. Although we may experience pain, rejection, shame, disappointment, and uncertainty, God is still writing our story. Our wounds do not define our future, and our past does not determine our purpose. There is another side to every struggle, and through Jesus Christ, that side is filled with healing, restoration, purpose, and victory.

God Is Not Finished Writing Your Story

• God reminds us that He is not finished writing our story.
• What you are experiencing right now is only one chapter of a much greater journey.
• Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us that God has plans for our future, filled with hope and purpose.
• Your story may contain pain and disappointment, but God also sees restoration.
• God is preparing a future that you may not be able to see right now.
• Your story is unique, and no one else's journey will look exactly like yours.
• There is purpose, power, and victory waiting on the other side.
• Do not judge your entire story by the chapter you are currently experiencing.

Your Scars Are Evidence of Healing

• Wounds can be painful, and some are visible while others remain hidden.
• Every wound represents something you have experienced or endured.
• A scar is evidence that the wound has begun to heal and the bleeding has stopped.
• What once caused you pain can become a testimony of God's healing power.
• You may still carry reminders of what happened, but those reminders do not mean you are still broken.
• Your scars are not necessarily signs of defeat. They can become evidence of survival and restoration.
• God sees beyond your wounds and recognizes the healing taking place in your life.

Your Present Suffering Is Not Your Final Glory

• Romans 8:18 reminds us that our present sufferings cannot compare to the glory that will be revealed.
• What hurts today may be preparing you for something greater tomorrow.
• Do not allow temporary pain to make you lose sight of God's eternal promises.
• Sometimes we become so focused on what we can see that we forget what God is doing beyond our understanding.
• Faith requires us to trust God even when the outcome is not visible.
• The pain you are experiencing does not have to be the conclusion of your story.
• God can use difficult seasons to produce strength, endurance, and spiritual growth.

God Wants to Heal You From Shame

• Some people are no longer bleeding from their wounds, but they are still carrying shame.
• Shame can make you feel unworthy, rejected, or undeserving of God's love.
• Sometimes the weight of shame becomes more difficult to carry than the original experience.
• God does not reveal our struggles simply to embarrass or condemn us.
• He brings things into the light so that healing and restoration can begin.
• Shame may tell you that you are not worthy, but God's grace reminds you that you are loved.
• Do not allow your past to convince you that you cannot experience a better future.

Jesus Meets Us in Our Darkest Moments

• Even in your deepest and darkest moments, Jesus is still present.
• Sometimes we desire healing but fear the attention that may come with acknowledging our pain.
• God knows the struggles we carry, including the ones we try to hide.
• He sees the wounds that others cannot recognize.
• Jesus does not overlook us because of our circumstances.
• His presence offers hope, healing, and restoration.
• No matter how long you have been struggling, you are not beyond His reach.

Release the Shame and Walk in Freedom

• Sometimes God has already offered freedom, but we continue holding ourselves captive to guilt and shame.
• Do not remain bound to something God is calling you to release.
• When God declares that you are free, begin walking in that freedom.
• Stop allowing your past to control your present.
• God can replace shame with affirmation and restore your sense of worth.
• You do not have to keep punishing yourself for something God has forgiven.
• Release the burden, receive His grace, and move forward.
• Freedom begins when you stop holding on to what God has already called you to surrender.

Stop Living According to Other People's Opinions

• Stop allowing what people say or think about you to determine your worth.
• Not everyone will understand your journey or know the full story.
• You do not have to defend yourself against every false assumption or narrative.
• Sometimes wisdom requires remaining silent and allowing God to work.
• Continue carrying yourself with integrity, dignity, and holiness.
• Holiness is still right, regardless of what others may say or do.
• Do not compromise your character trying to prove yourself to people.
• Let your actions reflect your relationship with God.

God Is Your Vindication

• When God holds the pen, He remains in control of how your story unfolds.
• Your journey may take you through the pit before you reach the palace.
• Difficult circumstances do not mean God has forgotten His promises.
• You do not have to spend your life defending yourself against someone else's version of your story.
• Trust God to reveal the truth in His timing.
• What looks like rejection may actually be redirection.
• Sometimes a closed door is God's way of leading you toward something better.
• Allow God to handle what you cannot control.

Jesus Is the Other Side of the Story

• Jesus is the greatest reminder that suffering does not have the final word.
• After His resurrection, Jesus appeared with the scars of His crucifixion.
• His wounds had been healed, but the scars remained as evidence of what He had overcome.
• The scars were not signs of defeat. They testified to His sacrifice and victory.
• Through His resurrection, Jesus demonstrated victory over sin and death.
• What appeared to be the end at the cross became the beginning of a greater testimony.
• The cross represented suffering, but the resurrection revealed victory.
• There is another side to your story, and that side is found in Jesus Christ.

Your Pain Does Not Define Your Ending

• Medical reports, betrayal, disappointment, scandal, scars, and shame do not have to be the end of your story.
• What others know about your past does not determine what God can do with your future.
• You may not know what the next chapter holds, but you know the God who holds your future.
• Shift your focus away from the circumstances surrounding your story and toward Jesus, the Author and Finisher of your faith.
• Do not allow one painful experience to convince you that your entire life has been defeated.
• God is still working, still restoring, and still writing.
• Your story is not over.

God Sees What You Cannot See

• You may see the wound, but God sees the healing.
• You may see the shame, but God sees restoration.
• You may see the cross, but God sees the resurrection.
• You may see rejection, but God sees redirection.
• You may see a closed door, but God knows what is waiting on the other side.
• Your perspective is limited to what you can currently understand, but God's plans extend beyond the present moment.
• Trust Him with the parts of your story that have not yet been revealed.
• Remember that God's presence goes with you through every chapter.

Stop Comparing Your Story to Someone Else's

• Comparison is the thief of joy.
• Stop comparing your third chapter to someone else's seventh chapter.
• Everyone has a different journey, purpose, and season of development.
• Your story is not their story, and your ending does not have to look like theirs.
• Do not become discouraged because someone else appears to be further along.
• Celebrate what God is doing in your life without measuring your progress against others.
• Focus on your own relationship with God and the purpose He has placed before you.
• Trust that His timing for your life is intentional.

Don't Give Up in the Middle of Your Story

• Do not give up in chapter one when God has so much more to write.
• Do not throw in the towel because your present circumstances are difficult.
• The chapter you are experiencing may be painful, but it is not necessarily the final chapter.
• Continue believing that God can bring restoration out of disappointment.
• Keep trusting Him when you cannot see what comes next.
• Your story is still unfolding, and God is still at work.
• There is another side to what you are going through.
• Trust God enough to keep moving forward.

Joy Is on the Other Side of Sorrow

• Sorrow may be part of your journey, but it does not have to define your destination.
• The pain you feel today will not always look the same.
• God can restore joy where there has been grief.
• He can bring peace into places once filled with uncertainty.
• What once made you cry can become part of a powerful testimony.
• Do not lose hope because you cannot yet see the outcome.
• Continue trusting God for the healing, restoration, and joy that lie ahead.
• Remember that joy is on the other side of sorrow.

Closing Encouragement

• Your story is not over because God is still writing it.
• Do not allow your wounds, scars, shame, or disappointments to define your future.
• Release the burdens God has already called you to surrender.
• Stop comparing your journey to someone else's.
• Trust God when rejection becomes redirection and when the next chapter is unclear.
• Remember that Jesus is the other side of the story, and His resurrection reminds us that suffering does not have the final word.
• You may see the pain, but God sees the purpose.
• You may see the struggle, but God sees the victory.
• You may see the ending, but God sees a new beginning.
• Do not give up, do not throw in the towel, and do not stop believing.
• There is another side to your story. Trust God with the chapters you cannot see, because joy is on the other side of sorrow!

Title: Learn to Lean on Jesus
Scripture: Acts 16:25–26

Key Message:
Even when we cannot change our circumstances, we can change the atmosphere through prayer, praise, and worship. Just as Paul and Silas praised God while imprisoned, we must learn to lean on Jesus during life's most difficult moments. Our pain does not have to silence our praise, and our present circumstances do not determine the outcome of our story. When we trust God and continue worshiping Him, we make room for His power to move in our lives.

Change the Atmosphere, Not Just the Situation

• When you cannot change your situation, change the atmosphere.
• Sometimes we face circumstances that are beyond our control.
• Just because you are in a difficult place does not mean God has forgotten about you.
• Your present situation does not determine your future.
• You may not have the power to change everything around you, but you can choose how you respond.
• Prayer, praise, and worship can transform your perspective even when your circumstances remain the same.
• Do not allow your situation to determine the strength of your faith.

Midnight Is Not the End of Your Story

• Acts 16:25–26 reminds us that Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises to God while they were imprisoned.
• They were in a difficult place, but they refused to stop worshiping.
• Midnight represents a moment in time, not the conclusion of your story.
• Just because you are experiencing a dark season does not mean your story is over.
• God is still working, even when you cannot see what He is doing.
• Do not allow a temporary situation to convince you that your future has been canceled.
• Your story is not over because God is still in control.

Praise God While You're Still in the Situation

• Do not wait until your circumstances change to give God praise.
• Praise Him while you are still going through the storm.
• You can be wounded and still worship.
• You can be hurting and still lift your hands.
• You can be surrounded by difficulties and still give God glory.
• Paul and Silas praised God while they were still locked inside the prison.
• Their worship was not based on their circumstances but on their faith in God.
• Learn to praise God before you see the breakthrough.

Worship Through Your Pain

• Find a way to worship God in the middle of your suffering.
• Even when your heart is broken, continue seeking His presence.
• Sometimes all you can do is tell the Lord, "Thank You."
• You may not know what tomorrow will bring, but you can still trust the One who holds your future.
• Worship does not mean you are ignoring your pain.
• It means you are choosing to trust God in spite of what you are experiencing.
• Your pain does not have to take away your praise.

Trust God Even When You Don't Understand

• You may not understand what God is doing, but you can still have faith.
• You may not know when your prayers will be answered, but continue praising Him.
• You may not know how your bills will be paid, but trust God to provide.
• Faith means believing in God's ability even when you cannot see the outcome.
• Do not allow uncertainty to weaken your confidence in Him.
• Continue trusting God through every unanswered question.
• Remember that His faithfulness is not determined by how quickly your circumstances change.

Don't Let Your Wounds Silence Your Testimony

• Do not allow what you have been through to silence what God has done for you.
• You can grieve and still trust God.
• You can have questions and still believe in His promises.
• You can experience disappointment and still remain faithful.
• Your wounds do not disqualify you from worshiping God.
• Sometimes your greatest testimony comes from the very situation that caused you the most pain.
• Continue giving God glory, even while you are healing.
• Your testimony can encourage someone else who is facing a similar battle.

What Kind of God Do You Serve?

• Ask yourself, "What kind of God do I serve?"
• Do you believe God is able to move in situations that seem impossible?
• Do you trust Him only when life is going well, or can you trust Him through the difficult seasons?
• Remember the times God has already made a way for you.
• Do not underestimate what God can do.
• The same God who delivered Paul and Silas is still able to bring deliverance today.
• Your circumstances may be difficult, but God's power is greater.

Your Faith Is a Testimony to Others

• People are watching how you respond when trouble comes into your life.
• Some may not know you personally, but they can still witness your faith through your actions.
• Your response to adversity can reveal the strength of your relationship with God.
• When difficulties arise, demonstrate faith instead of allowing fear to take control.
• Continue praying, worshiping, and trusting God even when others do not understand.
• Your ability to praise God through pain can become a testimony of His goodness.
• Let your life show others what it means to lean on Jesus.

It's Time to Change the Atmosphere

• Do not remain spiritually imprisoned by fear, worry, or discouragement.
• You have been in the same place long enough. It is time to change the atmosphere.
• Stop allowing your circumstances to control your praise.
• Begin speaking life, hope, and faith over your situation.
• Pray even when you feel overwhelmed.
• Worship even when you are hurting.
• Praise God even before you see the answer.
• Remember that when Paul and Silas prayed and worshiped, the prison doors were opened and their chains were loosened.
• God is able to bring freedom into places where you once felt trapped.

Victory Comes Through Faith

• Your present struggle does not mean you have been defeated.
• Continue believing that God is able to bring you through.
• Do not allow your midnight season to make you forget His promises.
• Your praise can remain strong even when your circumstances are difficult.
• Trust that God is working on your behalf.
• Learn to lean on Jesus rather than depending only on your own strength.
• Keep your faith rooted in the One who has never failed you.
• Victory belongs to God, and through Him, you can overcome.

Closing Encouragement

• When you cannot change your situation, remember that you can change the atmosphere.
• Do not stop praising God because life has become difficult.
• You can be wounded and still worship.
• You can grieve and still trust God.
• You can have questions and still believe in His promises.
• Remember that midnight is only a moment in time, not the end of your story.
• Continue leaning on Jesus through every trial, disappointment, and uncertainty.
• Do not underestimate the power of prayer and praise.
• God is still able to open doors, break chains, and make ways where there seem to be none.
• No matter what you are facing, keep trusting, keep praying, and keep praising God.
• Your situation may not have changed yet, but your praise can change the atmosphere. Victory shall be yours through Jesus Christ!

Title: The Process Is Painful, but the Promise Is Still Powerful
Scripture: Jeremiah 18:1–6, Philippians 1:6

Key Message:
God is continually shaping, molding, and preparing us for the purpose He has placed on our lives. Although the process of spiritual growth may be painful and uncomfortable, His promises remain unchanged. We may not be perfect, but we are works in progress, and the God who began a good work in us will faithfully bring it to completion.

God Is Still Working on You

• You can endure whatever you are going through because God is strengthening you.

• You may still have weaknesses that you are working to overcome.
• You may be experiencing pain, but remember that God is using the process to develop you.
• God is not finished working on you.

Your Process Is Between You and God

• Not everyone needs to know what you are going through.
• Sometimes you must establish boundaries and stop answering questions about your personal struggles.
• Certain battles and experiences are meant to be worked through privately with God.
• You do not have to explain every season of your life to everyone.
• Focus on what God is teaching you rather than what people are saying about you.
• Your relationship with God is personal, and He knows exactly what you need.

Thank God for Spiritual Growth

• There may be times when you do not pray as often as you should or demonstrate love as you should.

• Thank God that you are not where you used to be.
• There was a time when you may have given up quickly, but now you have learned to hold on a little longer.
• You may still have some growing to do, but recognize how far God has already brought you.
• Spiritual growth is a process, and every step forward matters.

The Process Develops Your Faith

• Sometimes God develops your faith by allowing you to experience situations that test it.
• Your character may be tested before you are ready for your next assignment.
• God often works on you privately before using you publicly.
• Some people desire the blessing but do not want to endure the challenges that come with preparation.
• God is concerned not only with where you are but also with where He is taking you.
• The process is preparing you for the promise.
• Remain faithful even when the journey becomes uncomfortable.

Allow God to Correct and Mold You

• Jeremiah 18 reminds us that God is the Potter and we are the clay.
• Just as the potter shapes the clay, God continues shaping our lives according to His purpose.
• Do not reject God's correction.
• Ask the Lord to reveal the areas of your life that need improvement.
• Pray, "Lord, if I have done anything wrong, correct me."
• Be willing to change when God reveals something that needs to be addressed.
• It is better to receive God's correction and grow than to remain unchanged.
• God's correction is part of His preparation for your life.

I Am a Work in Progress

• You may not be perfect, but you are still a work in progress.
• Be honest with God about the areas where you need His help.
• Ask Him to work on your patience, attitude, faith, love, and obedience.
• Do not become discouraged because you have not reached perfection.
• God is still molding you into the person He has called you to become.
• Every day is another opportunity to grow spiritually.
• As long as God is still working on you, your story is not over.

The Promise Has Not Been Canceled

• The promise is still powerful, even when the process is painful.
• God has not canceled His plans for your life.
• Philippians 1:6 reminds us that the One who began a good work in us will continue it until completion.
• Your past does not have to determine your future.
• Your last mistake does not have to define every opportunity ahead of you.
• One difficult chapter does not mean your entire story is finished.
• God still has a place and a purpose for you.
• The process may be painful, but what God is preparing you for will be worth it.

God Looks Beyond Your Faults

• Be thankful that God did not give up on you because of your mistakes.
• Even when you have spoken harshly, made poor decisions, or fallen short, God has continued showing you mercy.
• God sees beyond your faults and recognizes your needs.
• He can transform people whom others may have given up on.
• No life is beyond God's ability to restore.
• His grace gives us opportunities to repent, change, and grow.
• Thank God for His patience and willingness to continue working on us.

Trust God Through the Process

• You may not understand everything God is doing, but continue trusting Him.
• God is good, even when the process feels uncomfortable.
• Do not allow frustration to make you abandon what God is developing within you.
• When you place everything in God's hands, you can find peace knowing He is in control.
• Trust His timing, His correction, and His direction.
• Remember that the Potter knows exactly what He is creating.
• The process is not meant to destroy you but to prepare you for His purpose.

Don't Give Up Before the Promise

• There may be moments when you feel like throwing in the towel.
• When you feel like giving up, remember that God is still working on you.
• Do not allow temporary pain to make you abandon a lasting promise.
• Continue standing on God's Word.
• Remain faithful through every challenge.
• Praise God through the storm and in the middle of your pain.
• Thank Him not only for what He has already done but also for what He is doing in your life right now.

Closing Encouragement

• Remember that you are still in the Potter's hands.
• Do not become discouraged because your life is not yet where you want it to be.
• Thank God for the progress you have made and trust Him with the areas that still need work.
• Allow Him to correct, shape, and prepare you for your next assignment.
• Your past mistakes do not cancel God's purpose for your future.
• Keep trusting Him, even when the process is difficult.
• Do not give up, because God has not given up on you.
• The work He started in your life is not finished.
• Continue praising God through every season and remember, the process may be painful, but the promise is still powerful!

Title: You Were Built for This Battle
Scripture: Isaiah 43:2

Key Message:
Every battle we face has the potential to strengthen our faith, develop our character, and reveal the power of God within us. Although life may bring storms, struggles, and difficult seasons, God promises to remain with us through it all. You were not created to be defeated by your circumstances. You were built to endure, overcome, and come out stronger through the grace and strength of God.

You Were Built for This Battle

• There are seasons in life that will make you question everything.
• Some battles will cause you to ask, "Lord, why me?"
• Some storms will make you wonder how much more you can endure.
• Certain situations may leave you questioning whether you have the strength to continue.
• God will allow you to discover strength within yourself that you never knew you had.
• Every challenge can prepare you for the battles that lie ahead.
• God created you for more than sitting on the sidelines. He created you with purpose.

Strong Faith Is Developed Through Trials

Title: I Know What I Know
Scripture: Psalm 34:8 (KJV)

Key Message:
When you have personally experienced the goodness, grace, and faithfulness of God, no one can convince you otherwise. Life may bring trials, disappointments, and uncertainty, but your testimony is evidence of God's power. No matter what comes your way, you can confidently declare, "I know what I know!"

I Know What God Has Done for Me

• I have watched God make ways out of no way.
• Do not waste your breath trying to convince me that God is not real.
• I know what God has done for me.
• I have experienced good days and bad days.
• There have been moments when I shouted for joy and moments when I cried.

David Praised God in Difficult Seasons

• To understand Psalm 34, we must recognize the circumstances surrounding David's life.
• David was not speaking from a place of comfort but from a season of difficulty.
• David had been anointed, yet he experienced seasons of hiding and running for his life.
• David carried a promise from God, even while facing fear and uncertainty.
• Despite his circumstances, David continued trusting the Lord.

• Your circumstances may change, but God's faithfulness remains the same.
• Continue praising God through every season.

Taste and See for Yourself

• When something is truly good, you want to tell somebody about it.
• There are some things you cannot fully explain until you experience them for yourself.
• David had personally experienced the goodness of God.

Title: The Promoter: How Would God Advertise Me?
Scripture: Job 1:6–12

Key Message:
God knows our character, our faith, and our ability to trust Him through life's greatest challenges. Just as God recognized Job's faithfulness, He is looking for believers who will stand firm in His Word, even when they are tested. Every trial has a purpose, and when we remain connected to God, He will give us the strength to endure and come through victorious.

How Would God Advertise You?

• Job was an upright man who feared God and turned away from evil.
• Although Job was faithful, he was still human and faced challenges like everyone else.
• Even the strongest believers can experience moments of weakness under pressure.
• God knew Job's character and trusted his faithfulness.
• Ask yourself, "If God were to advertise me, what would He say about my relationship with Him?"
• Can God trust you to continue trusting Him when life becomes difficult?

God Knows Who He Can Trust

• Satan appeared before God, and God asked where he had come from.
• Satan answered that he had been going back and forth throughout the earth.
• God brought Job's faithfulness to Satan's attention.
• God knows those who truly trust Him through both good and difficult seasons.
• No matter what test comes, remain rooted in God's Word.
• When you have a strong relationship with God, you can endure life's storms because you know who is guiding you.
• Understand that God is the One carrying you through every situation.

The Test of Faith

• Job's story reminds us that Satan could not test him beyond the limits God permitted.

• If God brings you to a challenge, trust Him to bring you through it.
• God prepares His people for what lies ahead.
• Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.

Study to Pass the Test

• Sometimes we continue facing the same challenges because we have not learned the lesson.
• Spend more time studying God's Word and understanding His instructions.
• Study the problem so you can recognize what God is teaching you.
• Learn from previous mistakes instead of repeating them.
• God may be telling you to release something, but you continue holding on.
• Do not keep carrying what God has instructed you to let go.
• Spiritual growth requires obedience, patience, and understanding.
• As you mature in faith, you become better prepared to face life's tests.

God Has a Purpose for Every Trial

• Everything God does has a purpose, even when we cannot understand it.
• Job experienced devastating losses, including the loss of his children and possessions.
• Sometimes life feels as though everything around you has collapsed.
• Ask yourself, "What has collapsed in my life that I need to trust God to rebuild?"
• God can restore what has been broken and bring increase after a season of loss.
• Job's story reminds us that loss does not have to be the end of our testimony.
• Stand firm and trust God with the outcome.

Develop a Deeper Relationship With God

• Learn to become more intimate with God.
• Strengthen your relationship with Him through prayer, worship, and studying His Word.
• Do not wait until trouble comes to seek His presence.
• The closer you grow to God, the more you learn to recognize His guidance.

• Trust Him even when you do not understand His ways.

Know Your Authority in God

• The enemy may attack repeatedly, but do not allow fear to control you.
• Remember everything God has already brought you through.
• Do not be ashamed to follow Christ.
• Stand boldly in your faith and refuse to allow the enemy to defeat your confidence.
• Remind yourself that the enemy does not have the final authority over your life.
• If God is for you, who can stand against you?
• No one can take away the promises God has established for your life.

God Is Still in Control

• Satan could only act within the limits God established.
• Even during Job's suffering, God had not forgotten him.
• Your current circumstances do not mean God has abandoned you.
• God has a plan beyond what you can presently see.
• You may be going through a difficult season, but it will not last forever.
• Trust that God is working even when the outcome is unclear.
• The same God who brought you through previous trials is still with you today.

Trust the Process

• Study the process instead of becoming discouraged by the pressure.
• Remember how many times God has already delivered you.
• Through every challenge, God has remained faithful.
• In His timing, God will provide the direction and strength you need.
• While you are going through the storm, ask God to strengthen you.
• Continue standing on His promises.
• Do not allow temporary suffering to destroy your confidence in God.
• Trust God even when you cannot understand what He is doing.

God Will Bring You Through

• Every test is an opportunity to strengthen your faith.

• You may be going through something today, but believe that God can bring you out.

Help us remain faithful through every trial and trust Your purpose even when we do not understand the process. Thank You for the ups and downs, for the lessons You are teaching us, and for choosing to use us for Your glory. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Growth in the Waiting Season

What God Has for You Is Yours

• No one can take away what God has assigned to you.
• Learn to be content while you wait.

Your Blessing Has Purpose

• Your breakthrough is not only for you.
• God allows others to witness His blessings over your life.

God Is Already Working
