Week 1: The Wilderness Within
In this message, we dive into “The Wilderness Within”—a spiritual battleground that’s far more dangerous than any desert outside us. We explore the moment in Exodus 32 when Israel, freshly freed from slavery, turns their gold into a god. But this isn’t just their story—it’s ours too. Why do we keep choosing what breaks us? What idols have we built in God’s absence? And how do we kill them before they kill us? From inner restlessness to misplaced trust, this video unpacks the real reasons we wander and the path back to freedom through recognition, resistance, and repentance. This one isn’t just teaching—it’s soul surgery.
From Series: "Life In The Wild"
“Life in the Wild” is a deep dive into the wilderness journey of Israel—a trip that should’ve taken 11 days but turned into 40 years. Why? Because while God delivered them from Egypt, the mindset of Egypt still lived in them. In this series, we confront the wild spaces in our own lives—the habits, heartaches, and hang-ups that keep us stuck. Before we judge Israel’s detours, we’ll take an honest look at the choices we’ve made when temptation looked good, felt right, or promised something forbidden. This isn’t just a history lesson—it’s a mirror. And God wants to lead us through the wild, not just out of it.
