Preaching and Worship Themes
“Unexpecting
the Expected”
As we move from thinking about God's grace to the preparations for the greatest gift God has given, we try to rethink what God will do in our future. What has been, what is familiar can not limit what might be. We have to "unexpect" what too often is the familiar expectation.
