When God Doesn't Make Sense

What do you do when God doesn't make sense? When the God you said yes to starts leading you somewhere you never would have chosen? Peter had just gotten the biggest answer in history right — "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Five minutes later, he's pulling Jesus aside to correct Him. "God forbid, Lord!" Jesus' response is one of the most shocking sentences in the Bible — and inside it is a diagnosis of you and me: "You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do." This is a message about letting God change the way you think. Because it's one thing to believe God exists. It's another thing to let God be God — especially when what He's saying collides with what you want. And here's the question that changes everything: what if what you want is what you need to be saved from? In this message, Pastor Darryn walks through Matthew 16:21–27 and Romans 12:1–2 and shows: Why Peter — the first person to get Jesus right — became the first to argue with Him Why "God forbid, Lord" is a sentence that can't hold together (and why we pray it anyway) What your soul actually is — and why a rightly ordered soul can walk through anything The prayer of a true disciple: "Not what I want — what You want. Not how I think — how You think." What happened when God renewed the mind of one whole church — and one high school student named Ryan If you're grieving, waiting, suffering, or sensing God leading you somewhere you don't want to go — this one is for you. 📖 Today's readings: Matthew 16:21–27 | Romans 12:1–2 | Isaiah 55:9 ⛪ Heartland Church | Pastor Darryn Scheske 🔗 heartlandchurch: https://www.heartlandchurch.com/linktree 📱 New here?
