Messages / Great Expectations?
Who is Jesus – Christmas Eve 2025
Christmas reminds us that Jesus often shows up in ways we don’t expect. Many of us struggle with faith not because we doubt God’s existence, but because He hasn’t met the expectations we placed on Him. This message invites us to lay down those expectations and discover who Jesus truly is—and why that changes everything.

Discussion Questions
- Which expectation of Jesus resonated with you most (fix-it pill, buffet, rule-keeper, or glorious king), and why do you think that expectation formed in your life?
- Have you ever felt disappointed with God because He didn’t do what you expected? What did that experience do to your faith or trust?
- What’s one expectation of God you may need to lay down in order to know Him for who He really is—not who you want Him to be?
- How might your relationship with Jesus change if you stopped trying to control outcomes and instead focused on trusting His character and authority?
