What happens when the fire of faith begins to fade—when the excitement of following Jesus gives way to the quiet conclusion that “nothing is happening”?
In this message, Chaplain/Elder Colin Lau walks us through the story of two discouraged disciples on the road to Emmaus. On the very day Jesus rose from the dead, they were walking away—confused, disappointed, and convinced that their hope had failed. “We were hoping,” they said, not realizing that the risen Savior was walking right beside them.
Through this powerful encounter, we’re reminded how easy it is to misread what God is doing in our lives. We often measure His work by what we can see—success, progress, or comfort—when in reality, God is often working through weakness, uncertainty, and even suffering.
As Jesus opens the Scriptures to these disciples, their hearts begin to burn with renewed understanding. The truth had been there all along—they had simply been slow to believe.
This message invites us to live differently in the space between Easter and Pentecost—to stop interpreting life by what we see and start trusting what God has said. If you’ve ever felt like God is distant or inactive, this message is a reminder: He is closer than you think, and He is still at work.
Don’t ignore what God is stirring in your heart. This is your moment to stop living like nothing is happening—and start walking with Him like something is.
