Mission Possible 5

The mission to take the gospel into all the world is not a solo mission. It is a mission that the whole Church has been called to fulfil.

Wisdom for our plans

From very young we are taught that having a plan is vital to success. The Proverbs seem to back this up as they highlight the wisdom that exists in a well planned venture.  But Proverbs also tells us that planning has its limitations.  Dave Evans will help us to see why our plans aren’t all they are cracked up to be and how we can honour God with the way we plan.
