Unexpected

Passage: Luke 2:40-52

Sermon by Pastor Kurt Ebert from our worship service on January 4th, 2026

Summary: Sometimes it feels like we can’t figure God out. We come with our expectations of what God will do and how God will act, but so often He acts in unexpected ways in our lives and in our world. Mary and Joseph must have been completely confused about Jesus’ desire to stay in the temple, but His plan and His purpose was obvious to Him. We may not always understand them, but God’s plans are always for our best.

Sermon Text – Luke 2:40-52
