It's Not What I Thought

Pastor Joey shared a powerful message rooted in Acts 16 about how obedience to God often leads us into unexpected and even painful situations—but it is in those very places that God shows up the most powerfully. He illustrated this through his personal story of church planting in Philadelphia, the trials that followed, and the miraculous provision of a new church building. Drawing from the journey of Paul and Silas, he highlighted how our faith must transcend disappointment, teaching that God's outcomes exceed our expectations if we remain faithful. The sermon was both encouraging and prophetic, especially for those feeling discouraged in their current season.
