Scripture: Isaiah 40:1-11
Preacher: Ryan Carver
“The Way of the Wilderness” (Isaiah 40:1–11)
When life feels like a wilderness—dry, disorienting, and filled with hardship—where is God? In this message, we explore Isaiah 40’s powerful promise to a people in exile: “Comfort, comfort my people.”
Through vivid imagery and prophetic hope, Isaiah reveals a God who doesn’t just rule with power—He reigns with gentleness. He comes not to crush, but to gather. Not to destroy, but to restore.
We’ll see how this passage connects to John the Baptist, the ministry of Jesus, and our own journey from brokenness to restoration. This is a message for anyone who’s tired, waiting, or wondering if God has forgotten them. He hasn’t. He’s preparing the way—even in the wilderness.
