This message explores the theme of perseverance in the Christian walk, centered on the idea of a “deal breaker”—whether it is the weight (the heaviness of trials) or the wait (the length of time spent waiting on God). The preacher challenges listeners to reflect on what might cause them to give up on God when prayers seem unanswered or situations feel overwhelming.

Using scriptures such as Isaiah 40:31, Psalm 27:14, and Lamentations 3:25, the message emphasizes that waiting on the Lord is not wasted time. Those who wait on God will renew their strength, gain endurance, and continue moving forward even when tired or discouraged. The sermon compares waiting on God to waiting for a bus—you don’t mind the wait when you trust it’s coming.

Ultimately, the message encourages believers to remain faithful through both the heaviness of trials and the patience of waiting, trusting that God is good to those who wait for Him. The sermon calls listeners to keep going, stay strong, and not let either the weight or the wait become a deal breaker in their relationship with God.
