Episode 203: Matthew 11:1-19 "Expectations"

Calvary Chapel Tri Valley

Expectations – are things that we look forward to. Something is going to happen exactly the way we want it to. But when we experience expectations that don’t come to pass, how do we respond? John the Baptist is a prophesy fulfilling forerunner for Jesus, currently in prison and wondering why he is still in prison. What is the disconnect? We pray, we believe, we have faith, we ask, we seek, we knock, yet, we experience unmet expectations which leads to doubt and questions. Find comfort knowing that our faith is big enough for our doubts because our God is big enough for our questions. What are your questions for Jesus? 3 Key points: 1. Bring your questions to Jesus.2. We need to take our expectations back to the word to read what it says.3. God is not bound to our expectations He is bound to His word. By our faith, we stand here today, forgiven, not because of what Jesus is going to do, but by what He has already done. Let God be God.
