Trust the Story: Jesus on the Road of Disappointment (Luke 24)On one of our hottest Sundays yet, Sue preached from Luke 24:13–35 (the road to Emmaus), asking: Where do you go when life doesn’t turn out how you hoped? Two discouraged disciples walk away from promise and community—yet the risen Jesus draws near, listens, opens the Scriptures, reveals Himself at the table, and sends them back with burning hearts.Through Scripture and candid personal stories, Sue shows how Jesus:Meets us on the road of disappointment—He doesn’t wait for us to “get back to Jerusalem.”Rewrites our story through His Word and presence—reframing “good” as being formed into Christ (Rom 8:28–29).Sends us on mission—encounter naturally overflows into witness and return to community.Practices for the Week:-Name your “we had hoped.” Bring one concrete disappointment to Jesus.-Look for Him in the ordinary. When something “rubs,” treat it as an invitation to a conversation with God.-Let Him confront your narratives. Ask, “What story am I living by—fear, control, or the gospel?”-Walk with Scripture daily. Open the Bible and read it until it reads you.-Return to community with your story. Share your encounter to strengthen another’s faith.Key Scriptures: Luke 24:13–35; Hebrews 4:16; Romans 8:28–29; 1 Peter 2:17.Watch and be encouraged: Jesus is already walking your road—and He won’t leave you where He finds you.
