A Time to Plan

Our God is a planning God. He created the world with the plan to live with humanity in perfection, but when sin ruined this world, God immediately announced his plan to send a Savior thousands of years in advance: "I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head and you will strike his heel" (Genesis 3:15).


Throughout Scripture we see time and again that our God makes very specific plans. We give our best to God when we plan. You could even say that to give God our best, planning is necessary. Proverbs 21:5 says, "The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty." Of course, anything good that comes from our planning is still solely because of God's blessing. Proverbs 16:9 says, "In their hearts human plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps." God's people are planning people. As we plan, guided by God's Word, making use of our reason and logic, we ask God to bless our plans to his glory.

Worship is Where Christ Serves Us

Planting seed by hand can be extraordinary. In your hand, the seed looks lifeless and insignificant. You put the seed into the soil, and suddenly, all by itself, the seed germinates and sprouts and reaches to the sun. Except when it doesn’t! Plant multiple seeds, and often only some will grow. The Bible describes Christians as planted by the Word. Why do some people grow in faith, and not others? What makes Christians different? The Bible describes the supernatural process by which God calls people to faith through the gospel. He promises that his Word always accomplishes his purpose. It is powerful all on its own, without our help. As we grow in faith, we give God thanks for the miracle of his work in our lives.

Forgiveness Is For Me

By Pastor Quinn • September 6, 2026
Forgiveness does not come naturally to human beings. It is expected that humans will defend themselves, lash out when attacked, hold grudges, and bite back. So, when human beings hear that they are forgiven, they may even be suspicious or skeptical. Jesus tells a parable that contrasts the forgiveness of God with our own unforgiving sinful nature. God forgives our huge debt. Who can comprehend such unexpected mercy? Certainly not unmerciful servants, who refuse to forgive small debts. Have mercy on us, Lord, and teach us to forgive like you!
