Life doesn't always give us what we expect.

The entire city of Jerusalem was in an uproar as he entered. “Who is this?” they asked.  [Matthew 21:10 NLT]

We had hoped he was the Messiah who had come to rescue Israel. [Luke 24:21 NLT]

What expectations are you placing upon Jesus?

“God does not meet our expectations. Instead, He meets our needs.” – Pastor Rock Dillaman

All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by His great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation. [1 Peter 1:3 NLT]

Here is what God promises:

1. Salvation from death
2. Peace
3. Grace
4. The Holy Spirit
5. Joy unspeakable
6. Eternal life
7. A Kingdom that cannot be shaken
