I know we have Christmas Eve, still to go, but here’s what’s up for Sunday! 2020 was a year that made sure we didn’t harbor any illusions about being in control. It underscored the truth of James’ cautionary word against planning as if we were. Indeed, we truly don’t know what tomorrow will bring!

Scripture Reference

• Make Plans, But in Submission to God’s Will
  • The answer isn’t to give up, it’s to submit to God’s will (verses 15-16)
  • To plan otherwise is sin (verse 17)
• Hold Tight to God in Uncertain Times (and They’re All Uncertain!)
  • Hold tight to what you know in Christ – you are saved, loved, cared for, united, treasured in Christ
