Hunger For More: Expectations

Aug 10, 2025    Pastor Stefen Gage

In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine our expectations of God and how they shape our faith journey. The story of the lame man at the Beautiful Gate in Acts 3 serves as a striking illustration of how our limited expectations can rob us of greater blessings. Just as the man expected only a few coins but received complete healing, we too often settle for less than what God wants to give us. This teaches us that our expectations reveal our relationship with God - the deeper our relationship, the higher our expectations. We're encouraged to align our expectations with Jesus, speaking and acting on faith, even when we can't see the outcome. This message reminds us that God doesn't just meet expectations; He breaks them, offering us change not just in our circumstances, but in our entire lives.
