Expectancy NOT Expectations – Pastor Lee Armstrong

Message Date: July 17, 2022
Bible

#1) 2nd Kings 5:1-19

Verse 11) Naaman was furious. Why? He had an expectation that almost robbed him of his miracle.

*Don’t let what you don’t understand affect what you do understand!

#2) Expectancy NOT Expectations

Expectancy is a verb: Full of life and joy, excitement, unending potential, and limitless possibilities!  (Grace)

Expectation is a noun: And brings with it (Law and rules)
*No WORD POLICING!!

Example: Getting Saturday off
Example: Friendship
(Expectations can lead to Disappointment, frustration, and anger)
Example: The #1 day for filing for divorce

Daniel 3:16-18 “Our God is able, but even if he doesn’t, we still won’t worship that golden image” That’s expectancy!!!

#3) The Problem in real time:

  • The elections
  • Covid
  • Israel missed the Messiah

#4) Expectancy and church:

  • Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation
  • Turn to page 123 “I shall not be, I shall not be moved!”
    • (God can move anywhere, anytime, anyway)
    • Ministry is where you find it!
  • The parking lot
  • The coffee shop
  • The children’s church/the children
  • The local tavern
  • Walmart
  • None leadership individuals!!!!

Don’t miss your miracle because of an expectation!!!
