Have you ever obeyed God… only to watch things get worse?

In Exodus 5:15–6:1, Moses steps out in obedience and tells Pharaoh, “Let my people go.” But instead of freedom, the situation gets harder. The workload increases. The pressure rises. And the people begin to turn on Moses.

Sometimes following God doesn’t immediately make life easier—it makes it more difficult.

In this message, Pastor Jason Barnett explores what happens when faith is tested by worsening circumstances and unanswered questions.

Why does obedience sometimes lead to hardship?  
Where is God when things fall apart?  
And what do we do when all we have left is faith?

Even when it feels like everything is going wrong, God is not absent. He is setting the stage to move in a way only He can.

If you’ve ever found yourself asking, “Why did this get worse?”—this message is for you.

Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.
