Worst Planning Ever! - Pastor Kelly Goins
Worst Planning Ever | Worst Christmas Ever Series - Week 3
Ever had your carefully laid plans completely fall apart? In this transparent and powerful message, Pastor Kelly Goins shares personal stories of vacation disasters and diving deep into the parts of Mary and Joseph's story we rarely discuss—the confusion, fear, embarrassment, and unplanned circumstances that turned their lives upside down.
Through humor and raw honesty, Pastor Kelly explores:
-The real challenges Mary faced after the angel's announcement
-Joseph's internal struggle and decision to break off the engagement quietly
-The 100+ mile journey on a donkey while nine months pregnant
-Why there was no room in the "inn" (actually, a family guest room)
-The massacre of innocent children that forced them to flee to Egypt
-How God's purpose prevailed through it all
Whether you're facing unexpected medical bills, broken relationships, loss, depression, or circumstances you never planned for, this message offers hope. You'll discover that you don't have to understand God's plan to trust that He has a purpose—even in your pain.
Key Truth: "Mary and Joseph had a plan. God had a purpose."
This isn't your typical feel-good Christmas sermon. It's honest about the mess, the hurt, and the questions—while pointing to the rescuer who came because YOU are the reason for the season.
Perfect for anyone struggling with life not going according to plan or wondering where God is in the chaos.
