Life isn’t always easy. We all face seasons of struggle, uncertainty, and feeling lost. But the good news is—God meets us in the wilderness. Throughout Scripture, we see how God showed up for people in their hardest moments, providing direction, hope, and rescue. Feeling lost in life’s wilderness? This Sunday, we’re diving into Week 4 of our Wilderness series with David’s from shepherd to king and how it was marked by a season of preparation in the unseen, everyday moments of his life. His time tending sheep, facing predators, and cultivating his relationship with God equipped him with the faith, courage, and leadership he would need in the wilderness and ultimately as Israel’s king—reminding us that God prepares us for His calling long before we step into it. Bring a friend, and let’s walk this out together!
