About this listen

The wilderness is not punishment. It is preparation.

Throughout Scripture, God uses the wilderness to teach, test, and train His people for what’s coming next. Israel was prepared for the Promised Land. David was prepared to be king. Jesus was prepared for ministry.

In this message, we look at how Jesus faced temptation in the wilderness and modeled obedience, self-control, and reliance on God’s Word. We’ll explore how unchecked power leads to destruction, how temptation exposes our weaknesses, and how the Holy Spirit empowers us to overcome.

The wilderness reveals where we’re weak, but it also shows us what God is preparing us for. The question is not if you’re being prepared, but for what.

Where is God calling you out of… and into?
