Sacred Desert

Meeting the Lord in Dry Places:

None of us really want the Dry Spells of life. We become tired, and thirsty for something that satisfies, we are uncomfortable, we are unsure of the future. The dry places of our lives feel the most distant from the Lord. We think that the dryness is an expression of God’s removal of blessing, the absence of his presence, when in reality, it is the desert places that allow us raw and concentrated time with Him. Allow this series to challenge your thinking of that a time of blessing from the Lord looks like.

“There is in true grace an infinite circle:
a man by thirsting receives,
and receiving thirsts for more.”

- Thomas Shepard

Over the weeks following Easter, we will find out what it means to live in the victory won  by Jesus in his resurrection.
