Dysfunctional Expectations

All of us bring expectations into our relationships. This is no less true than the relationship each of us has with our God. While hopefully those expectations are healthy, sometimes our expectations, if motivated by anxiety or fear, can border on dysfunctional. In this message, we'll explore some principles that can serve to align our expectations with what God's word teaches, and help us to experience fully the rich, joyful, rewarding relationship that our God desires to share with His people.
