Life often does not work out how we want it to. When we are faced with difficult circumstances, so often our response is to blame God and ignore God, or to act like nothing is wrong. The Psalms show us that we can be authentic with God, and grow closer through our anger, doubts, and grief.

Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory in the heavens.

Psalm 8.1 NIV

Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory in the heavens.

Psalm 8.1 NIV

Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory in the heavens.

Psalm 8.1 NIV

Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers.
Psalm 1:1–3 NIV

Jesus replied, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.
Matthew 22:29 NIV

When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.
John 2:13-15 NIV

"Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division."
- Jesus, Luke 12. 51 NIV

Pastor Christian will be preaching through different passages where Jesus seemed less than nice, giving a fuller picture of who Jesus is and what made him display passion.

The first passage is Mark 9.14-29, where the disciples cannot heal a
boy and Jesus responds by calling them faithless and asking how long
must he put up with them! Blunt words from our loving Saviour. They
had tried to do things by their own strength and power.

We think different than Jesus Christ. Most of us are not wandering spiritual men, and a lot of us understand the world not through spiritual terms, but through logic and intelligence. Nicodemus also thought about the world different but through his interactions with Jesus we learn that things take time. Whether it has taken you a long time to connect with Jesus, or for you to help a friend connect with Jesus, do not be discouraged, it takes time, because we are not like Jesus.
