What do you do when a season of life comes to an unexpected or painful end? When plans fall apart and you’re left asking "what's next?", it’s easy to feel empty or stranded. In Part 2 of our series, "This Wasn't The Plan," guest speaker Spencer Palmer walks us through the Book of Ruth to show us how God works even when our expectations don't line up with reality. Seasons don’t last forever, but God remains faithful in every single one. Key Takeaways from the Message: Be Honest Biblical faith isn't denying your grief or pain; it’s bringing your true heart into the presence of God. You may feel empty, but that doesn't mean God is absent. Don’t Take The Name It’s okay to not be okay, but it’s not okay to stay there. Don't allow your wounds to become your new identity when you can be healed by His wounds. Take the Next Step Clarity comes through simple obedience. Sometimes, taking one small step of faithfulness is the most spiritual thing you can do. REACH | CONNECT REPEAT Connect with us!

Are we relying on our own talents, plans, and ambitions, or are we surrendering every area of our lives to the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit? Scripture reminds us in Psalm 127:1 that "Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain." Every dream, plan, and commitment must first be submitted to the Lordship of Jesus Christ—because when we commit our work to Him, He establishes our path.

Join us as we explore what it truly means to move beyond relying on our own abilities and step into the power of God's presence.

Key Takeaways:

*Your Personality is not enough

*Your Potential is not enough

*Your Plan is not enough

Your work, combined with the Presence of God, *IS enough
