Leaving room for God in the impossible – Exodus 14

Room for God

Leaving Room for God in the Impossible – Exodus  14
Sunday, April 19, 2026
Pastor Mike Bailey

Introduction

What would happen if we stopped trying to control everything and instead allowed space for God to move? Room for God invites us to create margin for what matters most. From waiting on the resurrection to trusting in the impossible at the Red Sea, we’ll see how God works in the spaces we often fill ourselves. Through Mary and Martha, we’ll confront misplaced priorities, and through a widow’s miracle, we’ll witness God’s provision. We’ll also reflect on how easy it is to lose focus on what matters most. Slow down. Let go. Trust deeper. When you make room for God, you make room for the miraculous.
