"When God is Late" is a one-off message package that explores the feeling that all of us have either had or will have some day: that God is late. When something difficult or tragic happens in our lives or the lives of people we love, our faith can often be shaken. We wonder why God didn't answer our prayers or on our timetable. This practical message gives students four things to remember when they are going through extreme difficulty:

1. God can handle our questions
2. Jesus suffers with us
3. Speak truth
4. God is not done, so don't give up

This message is based around three New Testament accounts where God was seemingly late: Jarius' daughter, Lazarus, and Jesus' crucifixion.
