Rev. Scott Nowack - August 9, 2026
When God’s Plan Goes Through the Pit
This Sunday at First Presbyterian Church Sometimes God’s path for our lives does not look anything like we expected. This Sunday, Rev. Scott Nowack will share a message titled “When God’s Plan Goes Through the Pit,” drawing from Psalm 105:1–6, 16–22, 45b and Genesis 37:1–4, 12–28. The service invites us to consider what happens when circumstances seem to interrupt the plans and dreams we thought were ahead of us. Even in moments of betrayal, fear, bewilderment, and discouragement, we are reminded that God remains present and that our deepest struggles do not place us beyond God’s purpose. When the way forward seems to lead downward instead, faith calls us to trust that the pit is not necessarily the end of the story. Worship begins at 10:30 AM, with Coffee Fellowship at 9:00 AM.
Scripture References: Psalms 105:1-6, Psalms 105:16-22, Psalms 105:45, Genesis 37:12-28, Genesis 37:1-4
