I've read that, "Expectations are premeditated resentments." Expectations can be deadly to our relationships with other people...and our relationship with God.
On Easter morning, God had something unexpected for Mary Magdalene. God wanted to be with her in a new and radical way. So it is with us. God's desire is to be with us in a new and radical way. What we expect is not the same as what God intends. God intends to do more than we expect.
In this sermon, we explore the new and radical way that God intends to be with us.
