Disappointments in this World (CC)

WWW.ZIONTORRANCE.INFO ZION EV. LUTHERAN CHURCH 1001 W. 223rd STREET TORRANCE, CALIFORNIA [MORNING, PASTOR] HOW IS EVERYBODY TODAY? SO HAVE YOU GUYS EVER BEEN DISAPPOINTED? DO YOU KNOW WHAT DISAPPOINTED MEANS? SOMEBODY GETS DISAPPOINTED. [WAITING FOR AN ANSWER] [INAUDIBLE] [INAUDIBLE] YOU COULDN'T GO TO SEA WORLD! OKAY. THAT WOULD BE DISAPPOINTING! IN THE PURPLE BAG THERE'S SOMETHING THAT PASTOR FOUND TO BE A BIT OF A DISAPPOINTMENT. ANYBODY WANNA LOOK INSIDE? OKAY, LET'S LET ... [ELIZABETH TAKES THE PURPLE BAG TO LOOK INSIDE] A TRAIN HAT. I ORDERED IT ON AMAZON FOR $2.99. AND THEN IT CAME. AND THEN I PUT IT ON. [LAUGHTER] DISAPPOINTING, ISN'T IT? NOT EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GOING FOR. I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S A GREAT LOOK FOR ME EITHER. WHATTA YOU GUYS THINK? NOT GOOD-LOOKIN', IS IT? SHOULD I KEEP IT? IT SITS AROUND IN MY OFFICE NOW AND IT JUST KINDA IRRITATES ME. YOU KNOW? CAUSE IT'S JUST A DISAPPOINTMENT. SO I THINK MAYBE I SHOULD GET RID OF IT. MAYBE I'LL DONATE IT TO ... GOODWILL. BECAUSE MAYBE SOMEBODY IS LOOKING FOR THIS EXACT TYPE OF HAT. BUT I'M NOT. YOU KNOW IN LIFE THERE ARE THINGS THAT ARE GONNA DISAPPOINT US. SOMETIMES WE DON'T GET TO GO TO THE COOL PLACE THAT WE WANTED TO. SOMETIMES WE GET SOMETHING THAT WE REALLY AREN'T HAPPY WITH. BUT WE REALIZE THAT SOMETIMES EVEN PEOPLE CAN DISAPPOINT US. LIKE SOMETIMES YOUR MOM WON'T LET YOU HAVE THAT EXTRA PIECE OF DESSERT CAUSE YOU HAD THREE ALREADY. YOU KNOW, OR SOMETIMES DAD DOESN'T HAVE TIME TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR HOMEWORK. YOU GET DISAPPOINTED. BUT THE ONE THING WE REMIND OURSELVES OF TODAY IS THAT GOD NEVER DISAPPOINTS US. GOD ALWAYS IS WITH US. HE ALWAYS IS THERE TO HELP ON OUR BEHALF. TODAY WE HEARD HOW JESUS PRAYED FOR US. THAT WE, WHILE WE'RE IN THE WORLD THAT WE WOULD BE PROTECTED FROM THE EVIL ONE. SO, WE REALIZE THAT EVEN THOUGH THERE MAY BE LITTLE THINGS THAT ANNOY US AND DISAPPOINT US IN LIFE, WHEN IT COMES TO GOD, HE NEVER WILL. OKAY? ALL RIGHT. YOU GUYS CAN GO BACK TO YOUR MOMS AND DADS ...
