DATE | 12NOON Bible Class | Bishop Charles H. Ellis, III

Main message: Unless the Lord is the builder and the guardian of our lives and projects, human effort and vigilance are ultimately in vain; we must get on God's page, watch and pray, do our part with wisdom, and then entrust outcomes to His protection.

Key points:

• Make God the architect and foundation of what you build—follow His design, not just your plans.
• Get on God's page (cooperate with Him) rather than trying to make God endorse your plans.
• Watch and pray: human watching matters but has limits—stay alert in heart, relationships, children, finances and spirit.
• Human protection and planning (boundaries, doctors, security) are wise, but they have limitations; God never slumbers and sees what we cannot.
• Commit burdens to the Lord and release them—He alone can truly guard, keep, and act on our behalf.

Scriptures mentioned: Psalm 127:1, Matthew 26:41, Luke 18:2, Proverbs 4:23, Psalm 12:13 and 4
