Expectation Church

Nah, I'm Good...

We've all heard the adages, you know, "change is just a part of life"... "everything is bound to change"... "change is the only constant"... and yet, while those may be true, change can wear many masks -- exciting, frightening, frustrating, heartbreaking, or sometimes, they can fill your heart with joy. We may not always have a choice about the changes that interrupt our lives, but we will always have a choice in how we respond to those changes.

Get Out Your Feelings

Feelings are such a powerful indicator of where our heart lies. They're an excellent indicator of growth, but they can also hinder growth. We're told so often that our feelings are important, and they are. But when we get in our feelings, sometimes we can't move forward. What do we do when it's not the obstacle but our feelings that stand in our way?

Attitude Adjustment

Perplexed

Are you fighting internally and never seeming to get a breakthrough? Come find out more about the perplexity of the human condition and the response of Jesus Christ.

My Beloved Friend, Judas...

That's Not Fair

If you've got kids, chances are you've heard the phrase "That's not fair" more than you can count. Isn't it interesting that the idea of fairness isn't something we need to introduce our children to. It's implanted in us from birth and if we're honest, most of us don't grow out of it. However, not only is life not fair, God isn't fair either...and that's a good thing.

Freedom From The Burden Of Guilt

The King Is Coming

This simple statement carries the weight of the world, the triumph of victory and the motivation for service. No matter what is happening in your life, Palm Sunday truth is significant truth.

Roofless Faith

It's important in life to make sure we're staying on top of our task manager and meeting all of our due dates. Home projects. Work projects. School projects. There is something so fulfilling about completing any of these. We must be careful not to carry this mentality over towards people though. While projects can be managed, people must be loved and doing so can often require a roofless faith.

I Doubt It

When the unshakeable gets a little shaky, when the foundation starts to crack, or when the "sure thing" turns out to be "not a chance", it's natural to question -- to doubt. Our circumstances can either proliferate our doubts and allow us to become cynical and bitter -- or, it can be a catalyst for our faith to finding joy, comfort, and peace on the other side of the fog of uncertainty. Just like John the Baptist, God wants us to ask him "Why" not because we question his judgement, but so he can...

Heart & Head

Wisdom is a word that we often equate with fortune cookies, owls, and Tweet-able quotes. But what is it really? We often pray for wisdom when facing a situation. We'll ask for wisdom when we're not sure what to do. BUT what are we actually asking for? Wisdom isn't just what's in your head but it connects with what's in your heart.

Lookout

From the right position, you can see everything around you and gain a new perspective. It makes it easier to focus on what's most important. When was the last time you saw the world from a lookout position?

Expect The Unexpected

Google, Alexa, and Siri are helpful assistants, but one thing none of them can do is predict the future. Sure, they can tell you about future events and forecasted weather, but ultimately they have no idea what tomorrow will bring… and neither do you. So what do you do when you prayed, planned, & prepared for everything except for… the unexpected?

Pauseabilities

Conflict, arguments, and accusations seem to dominate our news feeds, social media posts, and even our day to day conversations. It can be overwhelming, and sometimes it brings out the worst in us. Many times these situations arise because along the way we forgot that age-old saying our moms and dads used to tell us, "think before you speak." Jesus shows us exactly how we can redeem these divisive problems laced with grudges and judgment and turn them into solutions seasoned with grace and love....

Stirred But Not Shaken

When facing heartbreak, anxiety, or frustration you might hear somebody say, "Have faith! Trust in God." Finding the strength to look up and remain confident in God sounds easy, but how can we practically do this? It starts with a reminder from King David about how we push through when it seems like everything is falling apart. We're going to identify how to push through when your heart is stirred without your spirit being shaken.

Called Out

Are we winning? The church is called out to fulfill Christ's purposes and reach the world for Him. How do we win in a time of transition? What are the steps we need to follow?

Expect Grate Things

Did you know that there is a wealth of untapped potential inside of you? Better than any hidden treasure you could find on this planet, there is a resource that God has made available to all of us. I am fully convinced that if you could tap into the power of it, even just partially, it will revolutionize the way you live your life. You’ll experience more joy, peace, and blessings than you’ll know what to do with.

Elements

A blanket of snow over an open field is beautiful, but snow over a major highway is dangerous. Rain over a parched land is refreshing, but too much in a short amount of time can be catastrophic. In every element of nature beauty can be found, but in an instant, it can become dangerous. Many days will start with a beautiful sunrise and end with an even more stunning sunset... but the journey between the two can hold an unexpected storm. When the sudden storms roll into your life, how will you res...

Prepared and Promised

Unexpected things happen. One minute it seems like things are going great and then out of the blue comes what you least expect. That's why it's so important to be prepared and remember the promises God has made over your life.

Get Ready - Part 2

As the story told in the Book of Joshua begins, the people of God are poised to enter the land of promise. They were told to GET READY. And their experience can help us prepare for our compelling future.
