Over these…

In the fifth sermon of the series, we explore the challenge of trusting God when His plan isn’t clear or aligns differently from our own expectations.

We’ll examine how trust deepens our relationship with God, moving us from head knowledge to personal experience, and discuss how trials often strengthen our faith. By embracing God’s plan, we find peace, guidance, and unexpected blessings, even in the midst of uncertainty.
