Summary

We all have plans for our life. But how do we respond when God’s plans are different than ours? Continuing on our “Kings & Kingdoms” series, Pastor Ben Stuart takes us through 2 Samuel 7 and reminds us that while our plans may not pan out in the way we think they will, we have confidence in knowing that God’s plan will be for His glory and our good. We are called to excel at the revealed things and leave the rest up to Him. Key Verses // 2 Samuel 7

I was placed as the center of the offensive line.
