Closer Than You Think

In this powerful exploration of disappointment with God, Pastor Larry delves into the stories of the two thieves crucified alongside Jesus. These weren't mere petty criminals, but likely insurrectionists who had hoped Jesus would lead a revolt against Rome. Their initial mockery of Jesus on the cross reveals a deep disappointment in unfulfilled expectations. Yet, in a profound turn of events, one thief has a change of heart, recognizing Jesus as the true King. This dramatic shift reminds us that it's never too late to turn to Christ, even in our darkest moments.

As we reflect on our own disappointments with God, we're challenged to stay connected to Him and our faith community, trusting that something better is always coming, even when we can't see it. This message encourages us to examine our expectations of God and to remain open to His transformative power in our lives, no matter our past or present circumstances.
