Into The Wilderness: Who Are You? - Pastor Christopher Coats

The wilderness is more than just a place—it’s a process. It’s where God reveals Himself, reshapes His people, and exposes the temptations that threaten to enslave us once again. In our new series, Into the Wilderness, we will journey through the books of Exodus and Leviticus, following Israel’s path from bondage in Egypt to the threshold of the Promised Land. This is more than ancient history; it’s our story too. Like Israel, we have been delivered from slavery, not to Pharaoh, but to sin. And yet, the wilderness still calls, testing our faith, refining our hearts, and teaching us what it truly means to belong to God. Through this journey, we will see how God reveals Himself, not as a distant ruler, but as a present, personal, and powerful Redeemer. We will wrestle with what it means to be His people, shaped by His presence and called to trust Him completely. And we will confront the temptations that lurk in the wilderness: idols of our past, the pull of self-reliance, and the fear that makes us long for the very chains we were freed from. If you’ve ever felt lost, weary, or unsure of where God is leading, this series is for you. The wilderness may be difficult, but it is not without purpose. It’s where God speaks, transforms, and prepares us for the life He has called us to. Join us as we step Into the Wilderness—and discover the God who leads us through.
