Are You the One?

Apr 26, 2026    Don Chandler

Bro. Don preached from Matthew 11 on the question raised by John the Baptist from prison, “Are You the One, or should we look for another?” and used John’s moment of discouragement to speak to believers who wrestle with doubt when life does not unfold as expected. Though John had boldly proclaimed Christ as the Lamb of God and was highly commended by Jesus as one of the greatest men ever born, he nevertheless found himself confused when imprisonment, silence, and suffering replaced the triumphant kingdom he had anticipated. Bro. Don showed that discouragement often becomes the doorway to doubt, especially when God’s ways do not align with our plans, but Jesus answered John not with explanation, but with assurance that He was still at work. The blind were seeing, the lame were walking, the dead were raised, and the gospel was being preached, proving that Christ’s purposes continue even when His servants cannot see the full picture. The message called believers to stop measuring God by what He has not done, to look instead for what He is doing, to run toward Him rather than away from Him in seasons of confusion, and to trust His greater wisdom when the answers are unavailable. Bro. Don reminded the church that faith does not require full understanding of the circumstances, only full confidence that Jesus is still the One.
