When Jesus Disappoints

What do you do when Jesus doesn't do what you want Him to do? This question, or some form of it, gets asked a lot, especially when we expect things to go a certain way and they don't. John the Baptist had to wrestle with this question when he asked Jesus, "Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?" (Matthew 11:2) John discovered that he could trust God in whatever He says and submit to His will in whatever He sends.

    Following Jesus – Wherever, Whenever, Whatever
    Jesus calls us to follow Him wherever. Many of us don't want to go "wherever" because there are things in our lives we want to hold onto. But here's the problem: The one thing we are most reluctant to give up is the one thing that has the most potential to become a substitute for God in our lives. The call of Jesus is wherever, whenever, in whatever He asks.

    For Whose Good?
    T-Shirt Theology is dangerous because it can lead us to believe in promises to may not have made. They sound good, but the problem is they may not be true. The promise of Romans 8:28 is not that things will go our way but that things will go God’s way. In other words, all things may not be good, but God can use all things for good.

    More Than You Can Handle?
    Today, we’re going to tackle another popular saying many Christians quote as if it’s in the Bible. The problem is, it’s not. And it goes like this: God won’t give me more than I can handle. Have you ever heard that before? Do you believe that? That sounds good, fair, and like something God would do, but the problem is, it’s not actually in the Bible. And I’ve got more bad news for you. The opposite is often true. God will give you more than you can handle, so you’ll learn to trust and rely on Him. Here's the big idea: God doesn’t give us what we can handle; God helps us handle what we are given.

    70 years, ah man!
    Jeremiah 29:11 is a beautiful verse Christians love to quote, but many don’t know who God is speaking to or why He’s saying this. Instead, Christians grab this verse and claim it for their own lives to cover any problem or issue they may have. When things don’t turn out the way they want, they wonder what happened to the plans and the hopeful future. This is why T-Shirt Theology is dangerous: It leads us to believe in promises that God may not have made.

    Content in Christ
    There are a few favorite verses we like to quote and often misinterpret (most of the time without even knowing it), and that’s what we’re going to tackle in this sermon. Why? Because incorrect interpretation leads to incorrect understanding, which leads to incorrect application. In other words, taking a Bible verse out of context can lead you to believe that the Bible says or promises something it doesn’t.

    Worship – More Than a Song
    Worship requires everything within us. Worship is more than just singing a song. It’s at the core of who we are and is revealed in everything that we do. Our worship reveals our hearts in it’s truest and most authentic form because what has our heart has our worship.

    More Than a Book

    Scripture is God-breathed, God-inspired, God-empowered, and God-activated. In His great wisdom, God used people to communicate His message to His creation. That’s one of the reasons you can read the same passage of scripture 50 times, and then out of the blue, you see something that you never saw before. God speaks through His word. But the goal isn’t just to read the Bible and check off a list but to get the Bible into us: into our decisions, into our thoughts, into our actions, and our lives.

    Prayer – More Than a Request
    In its most basic sense, prayer is a connection and a conversation with God. From Matthew 6:5-8, we see a few things: • Pray Regularly (Matthew 6:5-7) • Pray Sincerely (Matthew 6:5) • Pray Secretly (Matthew 6:6) • Pray Specifically (Matthew 6:7-8)

    One Year From Now
    The New Year is one of those times when we often make New Years resolutions, but let’s be honest; we don’t usually keep many of them. As we begin this New Year, let’s think about how we can honor Jesus in every area of life. Join us as we explore Colossians 3:17.
