Jesus points John back to Scripture, reminding us that our expectations must be shaped by God’s revealed truth rather than personal assumptions, cultural trends, or disappointment.With warmth, humor, and biblical depth, Steve Morgan unpacks how faith grows through trust, community, discipleship, and steady obedience. This teaching encourages believers to anchor their hope in Christ’s finished work and to recognize the incredible privilege of living on this side of the cross. Whether you are struggling with discouragement, wrestling with unanswered questions, or seeking deeper spiritual maturity, this sermon offers practical encouragement and gospel-centered perspective rooted in Matthew 11.
