"I Still Believe " I Dr. Jacqueline A. Thompson I August 23, 2026

Main message: Hold on to faith in the waiting—delay or disruption does not mean God has changed His promise; keep believing because God's decision stands and may be working for your protection or recalibration.

Key points:

• The preacher centers on Mark 5 (Jairus’ daughter) to show Jesus’ command: “Don’t be afraid. Just believe.”
• Delay is not always denial; waiting can be for protection or to prepare circumstances for a safe landing.
• Disruptions are not necessarily detrimental—sometimes they recalibrate us or prevent greater harm.
• Don’t be swayed by naysayers who declare a promise dead; God’s decision is not canceled by appearances.
• Maintain generational faith—past believers’ trust produced institutions and freedoms, so we must continue to believe and pass faith on.

Scriptures mentioned: Mark 5 (Mark 5:35–36 referenced), Psalms (lines quoted)
