Passage: Mark 9:17-11:10
The people of Jerusalem were excited! Everything was about to change because a king had come to deliver them. Rome would be overthrown and all of their hopes would be realized. They lined the streets shouting, “Hosanna – God Save Us!” But a few days later, with that same king under arrest and facing execution, the people of Israel were in a place that many of us find ourselves – disappointed. They faced a tough question: what do you do when you’re disappointed with God? What do you do when a prayer goes unanswered? What do you do when you are doing everything you know to do, and life gets harder instead of better? Come and join me this weekend as we ask the tough questions and look for more than just band-aid answers.
