Have you ever read a book that didn’t end the way you expected?  Or maybe you’ve seen a movie that just exceeded all your expectations?  We walk through life constantly making assumptions and anticipating things to go a certain way.  Yet when it comes to a life lived for Christ, we quickly learn that things to not always go the way we expect them to.  Life happens and we live in a world full of sickness, pain, and suffering.  But we’re not the first to struggle with our expectations versus reality.  Join us today as we explore two biblical characters and how they navigated their expectations as we learn that we can, in light of the cross, give up our expectations.
