Lessons from the Wilderness—by Justin Renton
July 28, 2025
Sermon recap:
The wilderness is a metaphor for us signifying a period of testing, isolation, prepping or transformation we go through. Have you experienced a wilderness season? Ask yourself what it reveals about God, what he is preparing you for and how can you seek him more intentionally. Watch the full sermon on our YouTube channel (the lesson starts at 49 mins).
The perfect Father chooses mercy over judgment and connection over correction, and he celebrates repentance, calling us to reflect His love and grace.
Submission begins with surrender to God. Following Jesus' example, we lay down self-will, serve others in love, and trust his direction daily.
Jesus was full of grace and truth. Wisdom knows when to comfort, when to correct, and how to speak with love, discernment, and humility.
