What We Are Not Meant to Know: Faith Beyond the Unanswered

Drawing from John 21, this sermon explores the biblical principle that God intentionally withholds certain knowledge from believers, not as a deprivation, but as an invitation to deeper faith and obedience. Just as Jesus redirected Peter's curiosity about John's fate with the simple command to "follow me," God consistently calls his people to trust and serve him without requiring full disclosure of his plans. The sermon identifies ten categories of knowledge that God reserves for himself, arguing that uncertainty in these areas should not hinder a believer's commitment to follow Christ. The pastor emphasizes that prayer is not a mechanism to change God's will but a discipline that aligns the believer with it, and that true faith means trusting the one who knows all things rather than demanding answers before moving forward.
