When God Doesn't Do What You Expect

At first glance, faith and grief may seem like opposites. When life doesn’t go the way we plan, we can either be swallowed up by our emotions or refuse to feel them at all. But what if there was a third option? Whether we try to muscle through our disappointment or become completely overwhelmed by it, we serve a Savior who is well acquainted with grief at every stage. Living in this broken world means navigating the tension between what we feel and what we know to be true—but we never have to do it alone. In today’s message, learn what it means to run to Jesus even when the miracle doesn’t look like what we thought.
