2nd Sunday of Lent - Giving Up Expectations - Sunday February 25, 2024

Jesus is attempting to break years of Nicodemus' learned behavior and belief system. Nicodemus has an idea of how things should be, but Jesus turns it all upside down. What expectations do we need to change? John 3: 1-17 / Psalm 62: 1-8 Additional Resources: Bits & Pieces, June 24, 1993 Genesis 15: 5-6 Action Steps: Step 1 - Stop believing that you can’t control your thoughts. “Think about these things” (Philippians 4:8), “You shall meditate on it day and night” (Joshua 1:8), “On His law he meditates day and night” (Psalm 1:2) Step 2 - Confess what you believe, not what you feel. Take your thoughts captive and confess what you believe. (2 Corinthians 10:5) Step 3 - Expect Miracles - A person with a renewed mind has positive expectations in the forefront of their mind (Philippians 1:6)
