Have you ever stopped to think about where you’re actually sending your hope?
And what if the reason you feel worn down lately isn’t failure, but direction?
In this message, we have a real conversation about misplaced expectations, quiet disappointment, and the subtle ways we learn to cope instead of believe. Using a familiar Christmas image and a well-known moment from the life of Jesus (Feeding the 5000), this sermon out of Matthew 14:13-20 invites you to slow down and reconsider what you’re counting on when life feels tight, relationships feel strained, or faith feels thin.
It’s not a hype message or a five-steps to -- it’s an honest reflection on pressure, provision, and what changes when Jesus is factored into places we’ve gotten used to handling on our own. If you’ve felt spiritually tired, emotionally stretched, or unsure why your effort never seems to be enough, this might help you name what’s really going on, and point you toward a better way forward.
