Following Where God Leads / Wilderness / Week 3

There are times in life where following God's plan doesn't feel like we're going in the right direction. In fact, instead of getting closer to the destination, it feels like God's leading us out further into a wilderness. In this sermon, Pastor Steven Lucas talks about why God might be leading you away from the easy path and what He's looking for you to get from it.

Where Is God In Hard Times / Wilderness / Week 2

Sometimes we face hard times because of bad choices we've made and sometimes it's because of bad choices others have made. And other times, we have no idea why we're here! But during hard times, God doesn't feel close anymore. It feels like He's left us alone. We want to believe and trust God, but sometimes it's easier to believe that He just doesn't care. In this sermon, Pastor Steven Lucas shares hope that no matter what caused you to be in this season, God is still there, He sees you, and He won't leave you alone.

Finding Hope In The Wilderness / Wilderness / Week 1

There are seasons of life where it feels like we are in a wilderness. We feel empty, dry, a little like we're wandering through life. It's not fun! Nobody likes the wilderness! It's difficult, it's frustrating, and often we are left asking God, where are you, and why are you letting this happen right now? In this sermon, Pastor Steven Lucas talks about what to do when you find yourself in this place, and what God might want you to do in this season even though you are wanting to get rid of it.
