When Faith Isn’t What I Expected | FLAWED FOLLOWER (Pt. 3) | Sarah Rogers
Have you ever experienced disappointment in a relationship? Perhaps you had certain expectations of a friend or your partner. Or maybe you believed a community would be more friendly than you expected. Or maybe a place wasn’t as perfect as you thought. What if you encounter similar feelings when you seek to deepen your faith, and the experience isn't what you anticipated? You might have come with a sense of ultimate joy, expecting only positive experiences from God—blessings that would bring constant happiness without any trials. However, questions often arise when challenges like suffering, sacrifice, discipline, and loss enter your life of faith. Why do bad things happen to good people? Join us for the third week of our series filled with strength, Flawed Follower. Let us gather to discuss why trials come in the way of people of God. And why misfortunes befall those who seem undeserving? Let us come together to understand what’s more to Faith and why it’s important to persevere through hardships, as our souls are preserved through these experiences. Let us unite to receive blessings and become a blessing to others, by finding everlasting peace and joy! ✅ Check in to let us support you in your journey.
