We all make assumptions. Sometimes, what we believe will happen does. And sometimes it doesn’t, which can lend itself to frustration or anger. Pastor Mike Fabarez talks about Unmet Expectations, and about the time Herod Antipas met Jesus, but became disappointed when his idea of who Jesus was didn’t match with the reality.
