From the Series, “Acts”. While we often respond to God and one another through earnest and vulnerable expectations, we may not always know how to name such expectations or pinpoint where they originated. Acts 14 showcases two different people-groups responding to Barnabas and Paul through the filter of deeply entrenched cultural expectations. Because our expectations may supercede our logic, we need the Holy Spirit and the scriptures to search our hearts and sanctify our expectations of God and our place in His cosmos.
