Have you ever expected God to work a certain way—only to feel disappointed when He didn’t? In God Didn’t Meet Your Expectations (Mark 8:27–33), Jeff Piepho reveals how our rigid expectations can blind us to God’s real plan. Peter finally sees that Jesus is the Messiah, but he can’t accept that Jesus must suffer—and Jesus sharply rebukes him. Like Peter, we often have human-centered expectations that don’t align with God’s will. This sermon challenges us to surrender those false assumptions, trust God’s higher ways, and respond to unmet expectations with faith, not frustration. Discover how to recognize disappointment without letting it derail your faith—and learn to say, “Get behind me, Satan,” to the lies your expectations whisper.
