In this week’s message, Pastor Scott reflects on David’s desire to build the temple and asks a challenging question: was this truly God’s plan, or a well-intentioned human one? Through Scripture and history, we’re invited to consider how God often calls us to a slower, stranger path of faithfulness—one that requires waiting, trust, and humility. Join us as we explore how God can still bring redemption and purpose even through our imperfect plans.
