Bishop's sermon title: “God Has the Plans—Follow the Blueprint” Part 1

Sunday, January 18, 2026
Join Suffragan Bishop Ron E. Stephens as he delivers Part 1 of a two-part message titled “God Has the Plans—Follow the Blueprint,” from Jeremiah 29:11. Just as a contractor cannot alter the blueprint and still expect the architect to approve the building, God does not bless lives built outside of His divine design.
In this message, Bishop Stephens reminds us that the blueprint was written before the breakthrough, and that through Christ, you are built by design—not by accident. This powerful teaching challenges us to follow the blueprint, not the detour, especially when God’s plan does not align with our expectations.
In Part 2 of this series, Bishop Stephens will turn our focus to Jesus Christ, examining how He knew the plan of God, trusted the plan of God, and faithfully followed the plan of God—even when it led to suffering, sacrifice, and the cross. Together, these messages reveal how divine purpose is fulfilled when we submit fully to God’s blueprint.
We look forward to worshiping with you and discovering how to trust God’s design for your future.
