How to Handle Life’s Interruptions

October 19 - November 23, 2025

Interruptions can be so irritating. 1) A phone call in the middle of dinner. 2)Your baby starts running a fever just as you’re leaving for church. 3) Car trouble during a date night with your spouse.

Interruptions ignore the clock. They don’t care about your plans or who you’re with. They barge in unannounced and arrest your attention, often claiming time and money as well.

Have you ever felt like your life has been hijacked by this thief? I have. I used to complain a lot that I couldn’t get anything done for all the interruptions! I glanced over my schedule recently, only to find a series of interruptions that sent serious turbulence through my to-do list.

Interruptions come in many forms. Some can alter your day. Others can rewrite the rest of your life. How should we view these intrusive experiences?

During the next six sessions, we’re going to drop in on Abraham, Joseph, Moses, and others who show us how to handle the speed bumps on life’s road. Turns out, interruptions aren’t thieves that take from us. They can be messengers sent by God to show us something we would not otherwise see. They can be construction zones designed by God to develop character. It all depends on our response. By seeing God’s invitation in the interruption, He can turn it into an on-ramp to new opportunities, deeper faith, and greater intimacy with Him!
