Message: “Unfulfilled Expectations”

~ John 5:1-11 (ESV)

Unfulfilled // not carried out or brought to completion Expectation // a strong belief that something will happen or be the case in the future Unfulfilled Expectation // that what was promised, hoped for, or needed has not happened yet

Our natural expectations reveal what God is trying to show us supernaturally Expectations are my responsibility and not someone else’s Expectations are not bad - they just need to be measured

// According to Scripture // // Realistic of yourself and others // //Healthy vs. Unhealthy //

Jesus didn’t die in the natural to keep us in the natural - he died so we could operate in the supernatural God is not bound or limited by our expectations but our expectations of him can limit what we receive from him
