In this thought-provoking sermon, we explore the unconventional idea of Jesus as a “Divine Trickster” who subverts expectations and turns seemingly hopeless situations into moments of life, hope, and new beginnings.

Starting with Philippians 1:12-18, we see how Paul’s imprisonment—a situation intended to silence him—actually serves to spread the Gospel even more, demonstrating Jesus’ unexpected ways of working. Throughout the Gospels, Jesus repeatedly defies social norms and expectations: turning water into wine, feeding 5,000 with just five loaves and two fish, walking on water during a storm, and even raising Lazarus from the dead. These stories showcase His divine wisdom and creative ways of revealing God’s kingdom.

The sermon challenges us to reflect on where Jesus might be working as a “trickster” in our lives—turning our dead-ends, struggles, and moments of despair into opportunities for transformation and grace. It invites us to trust that Jesus often works in surprising ways to bring about new beginnings.
