      • Living with MarginExpect The Best & Plan For The WorstTom Holladay and Sam Yoon05/27/18
        Over the past seven weeks, we’ve been looking at how to create margin to allow God to do his best and greatest work in our lives. In this message, Pastor Tom Holladay shares how to expect the best and plan for the worst through faith and wisdom. You’ll find out how God wants to bring victory and the four steps to get you there. Learn how to stop pretending to be God, to let him take control, to base your planning on his wisdom, and to believe that he is working for your best. Discover how to ask God to take burdens off your shoulders and trust that everything is in his hands!
