John, the Bug Eater

I wonder if you’ve examined YOUR expectations about life. If you’re ever disappointed at life or disappointed with God or with yourself or others…where did you get those expectations? And have you even considered how your expectations may be hindering the fuller life that God really has for you? Today we look at our expectations about God, about spiritual truth and about life. Those cherished expectations and pre-conceptions are often the things that really get in the way of our spiritual progress and growth… And we’ll see that this “bug-eater” AND the so-called glutton and drunkard whom he introduced are the voice of God, if only we can only set aside our expectations and listen to what they’re saying. Let’s look at Expectations Examined, Expectations Exchanged and Expectations Exceeded.
