What do you do when God doesn’t show up the way you thought He would?





This Sunday at Knox Midland, we are starting a new series entitled, PLAN B

Eventually we all have dreams, wishes and goals that don’t happen. Sometimes it’s clearly our fault. Maybe we made a poor decision and took the wrong path.  Other times our Plan B’s and unmet expectations seemingly happened because of someone else’s poor decision. Sometimes honestly it's a combination of things.

-Some of you here have had the dream of finishing your life with the partner you married but it's clear that your marriage is ending. And you’re hurt and disappointed.
-Some of you are wrestling with the fact that you can't have kids. It has been a dream of yours to have kids and you don't understand why it's not happening.
-Some of you have a career dream. You were convinced God wanting you to go into ministry but no doors are opening up. You were convinced you were going to make it in music and it's not happening.
-Some of you are single and you desperately want to be married and it's not happening.

And to make matters worse you feel like everyone else is achieving their dreams. We look around and it looks like everyone else's dream is coming true. Everyone else is getting married. Everyone else is having kids. Everyone else is successful. Everyone else is happy in their marriage.  Everyone else is healthy. 

You get the idea.

No matter what has happened or how you feel, please know you’re not alone.  So that’s why we are looking at PLAN B together this Sunday.  See you there.
