What do you do when God doesn't meet your expectations?

Most people don't wake up one day and decide to struggle with their faith. More often, disappointment slowly creates questions. Prayers go unanswered. Circumstances don't change. Expectations shatter. And somewhere in the middle of it all, we find ourselves wrestling with what we thought God would do and what we've actually experienced.

In the final week of our Jesus Chats series, Pastor Chris explores the story of Thomas, a disciple often remembered for his doubt but better understood through the lens of disappointment, grief, and honest questions. Through this powerful conversation, we discover that Jesus is not intimidated by our struggles. He doesn't abandon us when we're hurting, He meets us where we are, and He can use our questions to lead us into a deeper, more personal faith.

If you've ever felt disappointed, confused, distant from God, or unsure of what you believe, this message is for you.

In Week 3 of our Jesus Chats series, Pastor Chris explores one of the most surprising conversations Jesus ever had, His encounter with the Rich Young Ruler in Mark 10:17-22.

Unlike the broken and hurting people we've looked at in previous weeks, this man appeared to have everything together. He was successful, respected, moral, and spiritually sincere. Yet Jesus saw something beneath the surface that no one else could see.

Through this powerful conversation, we discover that outward success can sometimes hide inward emptiness, and that the greatest obstacles to following Jesus are often the things we trust more than Him. Whether it's money, achievement, approval, relationships, control, or certainty, Jesus lovingly exposes the hidden idols that compete for our hearts.

This message reminds us that surrender is not about losing life, it's about finding it. Because every conversation with Jesus eventually leads to the same question:

What still owns your heart?

Join us as we discover how Jesus confronts hidden idols, invites us into deeper trust, and leads us into the freedom that only true surrender can bring.

In Week 2 of our Jesus Chats series, Pastor Kim walks us through one of the most powerful and emotional encounters in the Gospels, the woman caught in adultery in John 8.

This message is for anyone who has ever carried shame, regret, failure, or the fear of being exposed. While the crowd wanted condemnation, Jesus responded with compassion, truth, and grace. He didn’t ignore sin, but He refused to let shame have the final word.

In a world quick to label people by their worst moment, Jesus speaks a better word. He silences accusation, steps into our brokenness, and calls us forward into freedom and restoration.

No matter what you’ve done or what you’ve carried, this conversation reminds us that Jesus still meets ashamed people with mercy, hope, and a new beginning.
