1. Introduction – When Plans Go Wrong Have you ever had one of those perfect plans — only for it to completely fall apart? Maybe a family dinner that turned into chaos, or a Christmas trip that went sideways. I found a saying the other day, and it’s, “If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your ...read more

The way we tend to view the church, and ...read more
