“Offering Expectations and Emotions”
Sermon given by Pastor Robb on January 25, 2026.
Continues the Surveying Deep Roots for New Seasons sermon series.
Covers Ezra 3:1-3 & 10-13 and Luke 19:41-48.
In previous times for the people of God that we see in scripture, learning to both reflect back on how God has walked with us and discerning what is ahead that God is guiding us through brings with it important communal practices. Perhaps surprisingly, these can be full of complicated emotions rather than just triumphalist. We can not only trust that God will help us process through emotions of mourning or worry or repentance, but also that God will likely call us to hold our expectations loosely to be formed to the Kingdom as well - and that while that may be difficult, it is still safe… and essential for our discipleship and full experiencing of the thriving of salvation life.
