Listen "100 | What do you expect?"
Episode Synopsis
In this message by Paul Durbin, we explore expectations—our assumptions about life, fairness, success, and God. Matthew 20 highlights various perspectives: workers expecting fair pay, disciples expecting earthly power, and blind men expecting mercy. Jesus reveals that human expectations often fall short of God's kingdom realities. Paul walks us through three unhealthy expectations (Life will be fair according to me, Things will go as I plan, and Success always moves "up and to the right") and one healthy expectation (God will always extend mercy). The challenge is to surrender unmet expectations and trust in God’s grace and mercy.
