God's Better Plans

Nov 2, 2025    Brian Watts

2 Samuel 7 is one of the most important chapters in the Bible—a Mount Everest moment in God’s redemptive story. David wants to do something great for God, but God turns the tables and promises to do something infinitely greater for David (and for the world): to raise up a King whose kingdom will never end. In this message, we see the subtle danger of self-reliance, the beauty of God’s greater plans, and how to respond to God's promises with trust and rest. You’ll discover that when God says “no,” He’s not withholding good—He’s accomplishing something better. And as we learn to sit before the Lord, to receive and pray His promises back to Him, our restless hearts find peace and joy in the coming King whose reign brings everlasting rest.
