Blindside Blessing | Matt Curtis

Blindside Blessing | Matt Curtis

Author: Hope Community Church - Raleigh, NC April 27, 2025 Duration: 34:25

Sometimes we’re so focused on what we think God should do that we miss what He’s already doing. In this message, we follow two disoriented disciples on the road to Emmaus and discover how a misunderstood mission can cause us to overlook the Messiah standing right in front of us. What if your disappointment is actually the beginning of a blessing you didn’t see coming?
