Free Sermon Series: Bridging the Gap Between What You Believe and What You Experience
Share
Have you ever thought, “I believe God loves me, but I don’t feel it”?
Or wondered, “If God is with me, why can’t I sense Him?”
If so, you’re not alone.
Many of us wrestle with the gap between our beliefs about God and our daily experience of Him. That’s exactly what Steve Cuss explores in his newest book, The Expectation Gap—and now, you can go deeper through a free sermon series based on the book.
About the Series
This sermon series is built around the core message of The Expectation Gap: how to move from conceptual belief to visceral experience. Whether you’re a ministry leader, a small group host, or someone feeling stuck in your faith, this series will give you practical tools and biblically grounded teaching to help your people:
- Recognize and release stuck spiritual patterns
- Quiet their inner critic
- Relax into God's presence
- Discover freedom from the pressure to “have it all together”
Each chapter of the book includes group discussion questions and simple, actionable tools to practice. The sermon series pairs perfectly with small group engagement and includes 6 sermon manuscripts you can customize for your context.
Steve Cuss, founder of Capable Life, brings decades of experience in pastoring, counseling, and leadership development into every message. Each sermon is deeply biblical, emotionally honest, and refreshingly practical.
What You’ll Explore
Each week, the series tackles one of the most common expectation gaps:
- “I believe God is with me, but I don’t see Him.”
- “I believe God loves me, but I don’t feel it.”
- “I thought I’d be further along by now.”
You’ll learn to name these invisible expectations, challenge the false narratives they create, and find new ways to experience God’s peace, love, and freedom—right where you are.
How to Access the Series
The sermon series is completely free and available to individuals, small groups, and churches.
You don’t have to live stuck in the gap. Let’s take this journey together—and start closing the space between what we believe about God and what we actually encounter from Him.
