God, this isn’t how I expected you to do it.

Summary

This sermon explores the struggle of reconciling God's actions with our expectations, drawing from Psalm 77's depiction of groaning rather than joyous celebration. It highlights that the process of spiritual growth and becoming usable by God often involves deep struggle and lament. The takeaway is that true development and transformation don't always look pretty, but are essential for becoming who God intends us to be.
