Letting Go of Unrealistic Expectations and Trusting in God's Plan • Sunday Service To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give Website: www.PastorTodd.org So much of our emotional turmoil comes from unfulfilled, unrealistic expectations. We set up visions of what life should be, only to be met with disappointment when reality doesn't match our desires. The world tells us to “manifest” our dreams and to “follow our hearts,” but as Christians, we must surrender our expectations and align ourselves with God's will. His plan is higher, His ways are greater, and when we trust Him, we find peace. Today, we will explore how unrealistic expectations can lead to frustration and how, instead, we should anchor our hope in God's plan. 1. Unrealistic Expectations Lead to Discontentment Proverbs 13:12 (NKJV) “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.”   2. Our Ways Are Not God's Ways Isaiah 55:8-9 (NKJV) “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.”   3. Seeking First the Kingdom Changes Our Expectations   Matthew 6:33 (NKJV) “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”   4. Be Content in Every Season Philippians 4:11-12 (NKJV) “Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.”   5. Letting Go of Control Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”   6. God Works Everything for Good Romans 8:28 (NKJV) “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”   7. Let God Be Your Satisfaction Psalm 37:4 (NKJV) “Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.”   8. Surrender Brings Rest Matthew 11:28-30 (NKJV) “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”   9. God's Plans Are Good Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV) “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”   10. Fix Your Eyes on Eternity 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 (NKJV) “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.” Unrealistic expectations lead to frustration, but trust in God leads to peace. Instead of focusing on what we think should happen, we must align ourselves with His will. When we surrender our plans, let go of control, and trust that His ways are higher, we find true joy, contentment, and rest. Let today be the day you release your expectations and embrace God's perfect plan for your life. His promises never fail, and His ways are always good.   CCLI: 21943673

In Pastor Kaci's message, she emphasizes the transformative power of surrendering anxiety and trusting in God's provision. Drawing from Proverbs 12:25, Hebrews 12:1, and Philippians 4:6-8, she outlines four practical steps: Pray First, reminding us to bring every concern to God with thanksgiving and experience His peace; Think Right, encouraging us to focus on what is true, noble, and praiseworthy to guard our minds; Be Content, urging us to find satisfaction in Christ alone and avoid the trap of comparison; and Trust God, recognizing that if God did not withhold His Son, He will surely provide for all our needs. Through the story of the Samaritan woman in John 4:39, Pastor Kaci illustrates how a life surrendered to Jesus can bring transformation to individuals and communities alike.

Top 7 Stressors: Job Money Health Relationships Poor Diet Media Overload Lack of Sleep Being a Cowboys Fan John 16:33  //  “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Philippians 4:7 (LB)  //  If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus. Refuse to Worry Philippians 4:6  //  Don't worry about anything… Worry: To strangle or choke Things Jesus said: Worry is Unreasonable Matthew 6:25  //  “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn't life more than food, and your body more than clothing? Things Jesus said Worry is Unnatural If worry is learned, it can be un-learned. Matthew 6:26, 28-29  //  Look at the birds. They don't plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren't you far more valuable to him than they are? 28 “And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don't work or make their clothing, 29 yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. Things Jesus said: Worry is Unhelpful Matthew 6:27  //  Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? Proverbs 12:25  //  Worry weighs a person down; an encouraging word cheers a person up. Proverbs 14:30  //  A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones. Things Jesus said: Worry is Unnecessary Matthew 6:30  //  And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? Talk to God about Everything Philippians 4:6  //  Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need… Ruminating If you prayed as much as you worried, you would have much less to worry about. Thank God in All Things Philippians 4:6  //  Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. You cannot be happy and ungrateful at the same time. 1 Thessalonians 5:18  //  Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. Think about Good Things Philippians 4:8  //  And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Isaiah 26:3  //  You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you! Be Content with Anything Philippians 4:11-12  //   Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. 12 I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. Philippians 4:7  //  Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

One of the reasons we are warned to “beware of covetousness”, is because it starts out below the surface of our lives.  It begins many times unrecognized in our thoughts and desires and if left unchecked, suddenly we find ourselves caught in its trap. Are we setting our affection on temporal things? Are we cultivating desires for things that are outside the bounds of what God has for us? Listen as Nate and Gabe give examples from Scripture of those whose lives were devastated by the root of covetousness.Whether it's advertisements coming from billboards, social media, or the inbox, there is so much pressure from our culture telling us that we need more stuff. The hidden message is that our identity and fulfillment come through our possessions and our social status. It's time for Christians to draw a line in the sand and resist the pressures of our day! We need to drop anchor on the fact that our identity and contentment come from a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.

As believers, we need to be careful that we don't derive our identity and value from our paycheck or our possessions - if we do, we will always be covetous for more! The substantive part of our life is not made up of the things we possess. But rather, our identity is found in the Person of Jesus Christ! The more we realize this the more we will experience life with rest and contentment.Whether it's advertisements coming from billboards, social media, or the inbox, there is so much pressure from our culture telling us that we need more stuff.

As you dig deeper into this command, you will discover that it is God's love for us that causes Him to warn us of covetousness. Covetousness causes us to seek after temporal things that only bring emptiness and death.

A rich man was once asked, “How much money is enough?” He answered, “Just a little bit more.” This answer illustrates the ugly root of covetousness.

As a homeschool mom, you've got a ton of decisions to make every single day. And those range from what to make for dinner, what subjects you'll cover, to what you're even going to wear that day...or if you even have time to get dressed. Each decision can be reactive and made in a fly by the seat of your pants manner or you can choose intentionality. But what does that look like in your motherhood, homeschool, and homemaking? It took me some years of getting it wrong to find what I base every decision upon now. And let me tell you: this works perfectly every single time.

I have overcome the world.” Philippians 4:7 (LB)  //  If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus. 1. Refuse to Worry Philippians 4:6  //  Don't worry about anything… Worry: To strangle or choke Things Jesus said: Worry is Unreasonable Matthew 6:25  //  “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn't life more than food, and your body more than clothing? Worry is Unnatural If worry is learned, it can be un-learned. Matthew 6:26, 28-29  //  Look at the birds. They don't plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren't you far more valuable to him than they are? 28 “And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don't work or make their clothing, 29 yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. Worry is Unhelpful Matthew 6:27  //  Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? Proverbs 12:25  //  Worry weighs a person down; an encouraging word cheers a person up. Proverbs 14:30  //  A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body; jealousy is like cancer in the bones. Worry is Unnecessary Matthew 6:30  //  And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? 2. Talk to God about Everything Philippians 4:6  //  Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need… Ruminating If you prayed as much as you worried, you would have much less to worry about. 3. Thank God in All Things Philippians 4:6  //  Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. You cannot be happy and ungrateful at the same time. 4. Think about Good Things Philippians 4:8  //  And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Isaiah 26:3  //  You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you! 5. Be Content with Anything Philippians 4:11-12  //  Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. 12 I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. Philippians 4:7  //  Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

"I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." Do you have Philippians 4:13 memorized or on a Christian t-shirt. Have you recited it before the big test or the big game? Have you used it to be your weight loss or fitness goal motivation verse? If you have, no shame or blame here. But, today Heather tackles what Philippians 4:13 is really trying to teach us. It's a message in contentment. It's a passage that reveals our struggle with covetousness, and it's a verse that encourage us that we can be strong in finding satisfaction in Christ alone, whether or not we've achieved our personal goals. Take a listen to Heather talk about this tricky passage and often mis-used scripture verse and then let us know what you think.

The post Switch Priorities. Be Content. appeared first on Greencastle Otterbein United Brethren in Christ Church.

Leaders don't manage people, they manage energy. Drama researcher, thought leader, and New York Time best-selling author Cy Wakeman joins Erin to discuss what it means to manage the energy of your team & the individuals you lead by analyzing emotional waste and how to replace it with good mental processes. If your team is burning out quickly and you're not sure what you can do – this is a good place to start. More about Cy: Cy Wakeman is an International Speaker on Leadership & Management, a Global Thought Leader, and Drama Researcher—which is a career she discovered accidentally and has since quantified how much drama there actually is in the workplace. Her research has shown that the average employee spends nearly 2.5 hours per day in drama, gossiping, tattling, withholding buy-in, resisting change and stepping down from accountability. Drama is emotional waste, any unproductive thought or behavior and like any other waste in the workplace. Now, her work is focused on giving leaders tools to recapture that emotional waste and upcycle it into results. Cy founded Reality-Based Leadership, her company that teaches leaders and individual contributors ways to lead, and reality that diffuses drama in the workplace. Cy is also a New York Times best-selling author and has published four books, the latest of which is Life's Messy, Live Happy: Things Don't Have to Be Perfect for You to Be Content (2022).

1. Keep your spiritual priorities intact.Christ First — He saved you and called you.Family Second — If you can't serve your family effectively, you won't serve the Lord's church that way.Church/Ministry Third — God has chosen you to serve His people in the local church.2. Make your meetings count.Have an agenda.Receive prayer request.Allow time for team members to share some “God-moments.”Be timely, when you care about their time, they will care about yours.3. Lead your ministry as a team, not a hierarchy.Surround yourself with wise people, not “yes” people.Go with the pace of your team, not faster or slower, keep the same pace.4. Approach your ministry context as a life-long learner, not a boss or know it all.Have a system of communication that allows you to know about the needs of your students, parents, and volunteers.5. Expose your leaders and your students to ministries and organizations that are doing things better than you.6. Make serving and sharing your faith a priority. We never stop living out Matt 28.7. As a ministry team, read through some good books that will help you grow in what you do. Leaders are readers. You can't confront culture if you don't study it.8. As a leader, keep yourself surrounded by other leaders who are further along then you. Don't always be the smartest in the room.9. Be committed for the long haul, or until God alone moves you. Longevity is cool.10. Be Patient, sometimes you will not be able to build it fast.11. Be Content, but not lazy.Don't seek success in ministry through the numbers or notoriety; just seek to please Jesus.12. PRAYMinistry involves warfare against a real enemy. Use prayer as a way to involve the ultimate warrior in the fight to win this generation to Jesus.Connect with SLU:InstagramRegister for SLULearn more about The LIFT TourLearn more about YPS Connect with our Hosts:Brent's InstagramBrent's TwitterJeff's InstagramJeff's Twitter

In numerous writings, the Roman poet shared his wisdom on how to use virtue as a key to unlocking contentment and, therefore, happiness in our daily lives. Today, Ryan presents a selection of Horace's ideas in the second half of the “The Search For the Good Life” chapter in the How to Be Content installment of Princeton University Press's Ancient Wisdom for Modern Readers series, translated by Stephen Harrison.✉️ Sign up for the Daily Stoic email: https://dailystoic.com/dailyemailCheck out the Daily Stoic Store for Stoic inspired products, signed books, and more.

Are you tired of hearing about Will Smith?  Yeah, me too.  Well we have good news: Cy isn't interested in that.  Or at least she doesn't talk about it.  Why?  Perhaps because it was a negative event, and dwelling on negativity makes you less happy.  People seem to really love taking innocuous comments as personal attacks, or sitting there on Twitter seething over some minor slight that happened years ago.  That's no way to live.  Likes are no substitute for fulfillment and personal growth.

How can we restore sanity at work? Plain and simple—ditch the drama! Foster wellness and collective genius. Sounds simple, right?

Yes, that's a real role, which she takes seriously and her methods deliver impactful results. In a new #NowofWork podcast chat with Jess, Cy explains "If we had more adulting at work, we wouldn't have to be so resilient, because part of what kills our resilience is all of the drama and hassle at work." The New York Times Best-Selling Author will share tips on restoring sanity at work AND give us a sneak peek of her NEW book, available on March 29! It's titled: Life's Messy, Live Happy: Things Don't have to be Perfect for You to Be Content. Cy shared, "I've faced divorce, homelessness, obesity, (grief)—deaths.

"I saw how (companies) celebrated if we saved like one minute of time in a process, and you multiply that by 100 a day; and WOW, we've got a big breakthrough...I thought if we taught people how the world works and how the mind works, and use good mental processes, we could eliminate hours of emotional waste every single day and make the work at hand more effortless." Cy and Jess cover a good amount of ground in their chat, including topics like: -Communication and miscommunication at work -Employee wellness: Who should be responsible for it, the employer or employee? -What happens when organizations meet evolved individuals? -How organizations can be better designed to collaborate, foster collective genius, and remove hassle LISTEN TODAY & JOIN US THIS FRIDAY as we welcome Cy Wakeman to our Digital Meetup to talk about restoring sanity in the workplace, and her NEW BOOK: Life's Messy, Live Happy: Things Don't have to be Perfect for You to Be Content.
