Build With God Not Without Him

In this powerful message, Pastor Brent Hatchett reminds us that while we make our plans, the Lord is the One who directs our steps. When we choose to build our lives, dreams, and future with God instead of without Him, everything changes. Key Points from the Message Proverbs 16:1–9 — “We can make our own plans, but the Lord gives the right answer… We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.” Ask yourself: “Why am I doing this?” Check your heart: “Is my motive pure?” Commit your plans to the Lord before moving forward. Don’t build without God — build with Him at the center. When you choose to build with God, the enemy will challenge you. Remember: “The Lord detests the proud” — stay humble and surrendered. When Trouble Comes — Ask These Two Questions “Lord, what are You trying to teach me in this season?” “What is one thing I can be grateful for today?” These questions shift your heart from frustration to faith, and from pressure to perspective. God is faithful to direct every step you surrender to Him. Stay humble, stay grateful, and build boldly — because when God is in it, your plans become purpose.
