Hope in the Wilderness
Like Hosea’s wife, God’s people have committed adultery. They have run from him to the sins of the flesh. And yet, God instructs Hosea to not give up on Gomer, just as he will not give up on his people. In Hosea 2 we see the people rebel. And then God ‘lures them into the wilderness’. And in that Wilderness is the hope that we cling to. Intimacy with God is restored. In that Wilderness, all will be made right.

Suffering in the Wilderness
Job is a godly man whose life is torn apart. In one day he loses much of his wealth, and then he loses his kids. His kids are taken from him by a ‘great wind that sweeps in from the desert, from the wilderness’. This leaves Job in a Wilderness of his own. How does Job respond? What can we learn from this man of God as we face our own times of suffering, as things that we love are taken from us?

Preparation in the Wilderness
Paul goes to the Wilderness of Arabia as he transitions from Pharisee to Apostle. There God teaches him, reveals to him, enlightens him and prepares him for the ministry that he has been called to.

Do we sometimes feel like Hagar? If so, know that God provides.

Temptation in the Wilderness
The Wilderness is a fascinating place in Scripture. God brings us to the Wilderness for a variety of different reasons. Even Jesus went to the Wilderness...where he rested for a while, and then Satan came to tempt him. What can we learn from the tempting of Jesus? What instruction do we receive from the way Jesus responds? What hope does he give us?

This week we explore, briefly, the reality that Satan is also waiting for the time when Christ comes again.
