Missed Expectations | Scott Neal

What if God was never meant to be a genie in a bottle? In this message, we explore the story of Jesus calming the storm and confront one of the hardest truths about faith: sometimes Jesus does not calm the storm as quickly as we want Him to. Sometimes He seems silent. Sometimes He seems asleep.  And in those moments, we ask the same question the disciples asked: “Don’t You care?” But maybe maturity in faith is not learning how to avoid storms. Maybe it is learning how to trust that Jesus is still in the boat. This message wrestles with fear, disappointment, expectations of God, unanswered prayers, and the difference between childish faith and mature trust. Because the greatest miracle may not be Jesus calming the storm around us. It may be Him calming the storm within us.
