When God Doesn't Meet Your Expectations | Matthew 11:1-15 | Sunday, Oct 18th, 2026

What do you do when God's plans don't match your expectations? Does disappointment mean God isn't working?

In Matthew 11:1-15, John the Baptist is imprisoned and sends his disciples to ask ...Jesus a surprising question: "Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?"

In this sermon, "Surprised by the Gospel," Pastor Michael Aguillard Jr. explores how Jesus responds to John's questions, why God's plans often challenge our expectations, and what it means to trust Him when circumstances don't make sense.

Discover two powerful truths:
1. The Gospel is bigger than our circumstances.
2. The Gospel is grander than its messengers.

Whether you're facing disappointment, questioning God's timing, or struggling to understand His plans, this message reminds us that our present circumstances do not change God's eternal character.
