Lonely Places

Israel in the Wilderness

To escape slavery to the Egyptians, God led the Israelites out of Egypt into the wilderness. It may have simply seemed like a way to move them somewhere safe, but as we follow the journey, it becomes clear God had greater purposes at work. Sometimes we find ourselves in a lonely place, a wilderness. Is it possible God has led us there, or even allowed us to find ourselves there… because He has a bigger plan? Today we’ll see what Scripture shows us.

Lonely Places - Part 3

We often tend to forget that Jesus was not only fully God, but he was also fully human. And that meant he dealt with all the same things we did, including finding himself in lonely places. This morning we’re looking at one of those occasions, when he was actually led there by the Holy Spirit. His experience there can give us some valuable insights when we find ourselves in lonely places.

Lonely Places - Part 2

Many people in the Bible found themselves in lonely places. One person, the prophet Elijah, found himself there at least twice. The first time he was led there by God, but the second time fear drove him there without God’s guidance. What can his experiences teach us, and how can they encourage us when we find ourselves in similar places? Elijah just might show us more than we expect!
