Most of us have a plan for our lives. And most of us, at some point, have watched that plan quietly fall apart.

In this week's message from Mark 13:1–23, Pastor Rob continues through the Olivet Discourse — Jesus' longest teaching section in the Gospel of Mark — and arrives at something deeply personal. This is not a passage about predicting the future. It is a passage about what happens to us when the life we were counting on begins to collapse. And what we do in those moments says everything about where our hearts have actually been resting.

Takeaways to carry into your week:

• When pressure builds, notice what you run to first. That is where your heart has been resting.
• The lens you see through shapes what you believe is real. Is it his word — or the noise around you?
• False saviors do not just disappoint. They form us into people who need them more. Trust the one who heals the source.

If this message meets you in a season of pressure, share it with someone who might need it. And if you are carrying something heavy right now, we would love for you to bring it on Sunday. We gather at 10:00 AM at the Daniel Island Recreation Center — 160 Fairbanks Drive, Charleston, SC.
