Dressing for the Red Carpet of Grace
February 09, 2026
Summary
A life of substance will outlast any surface-level fixes or cosmetics. Ephesians 4 reveals the dramatic shift from deathly rags to a new identity. In this message, Pastor Philip Miller decodes our spiritual wardrobe change. It’s time we stopped rationalizing our rags as royalty—after all, self-delusion even makes 90% of us believe we’re above-average drivers.
This is part two of the sermon, “New Life."

Why Doesn't God Answer My Prayers?
When Heaven seems silent, and God, indifferent . . . bring your disappointment, anger, questions, and broken heart.
Life can be disappointing—bitterly disappointing. Especially if you've been asking, or begging, for God's help and your prayers go unanswered. Maybe you were taught that God loves you only to discover that when you really need Him, He's not there.
In Why Doesn't God Answer My Prayers?, Pastor Erwin Lutzer helps us see God's love and guidance even when He seems to be silent. This biblical guide ministers to tender and hurting places as it thoughtfully considers:
- When the person you love isn't healed.
- When the worst happens.
- When evil feels like it's winning.
- When promises are unfulfilled.
- When the answer is disaster . . . and more.
As Lutzer delves into Scripture and reveals God's hidden purposes, readers' hearts move from despair or despondence to hope and trust. Whatever your current position is to prayer—clenched fists, tear-stained face, heartache, or back turned—the truth of this book will transform you.
If you've ever in desperation mumbled the question, Does God even care? If you've left the faith, are losing your grip on faith, or know someone who has departed the faith, this book is for you.
We need to hear these encouraging truths, and we probably know someone else who needs them as well.
