Living the 3 R's
A study of the wilderness journey. What is the purpose of a wilderness journey? What does God want you to learn when all you can see is sand? What should you be praying for? What helpful requests do you make to God? If you pass the test do you graduate from the wilderness and never go back? These questions will be explored in the message this morning.

Faithing Your Future
Joshua was the new leader of the Israelites. He was faced with the task of leading people who had been wandering in the wilderness for 40 years. Joshua led them to cross the Jordan River and move into the land God had promised them. Thus, they had graduated from the school of "wilderness wanderings." Now, they were commencing in a new stage of life. There was joy over graduation, but anxiety over the future.

The birth of Jesus was not an isolated incident, but one that had cosmic effects. It was promised all the way back in Genesis 3, and the Enemy had been trying to prevent it the whole time. Now Jesus sits in heaven, reigning for the benefit of His people.

Faith in the Wilderness (Exodus 15:22 - 18:27)
After seeing God's great power and glory, Israel falls into escalating grumbling as God brings them through the wilderness. Moses, however, retains his faith in "the LORD my banner". Without denying the very real and agonizing hardships we experience in life, we must resist the temptation to unbelief and grumbling and must remind ourselves of God's goodness and faithfulness. He will surely continue to sustain us through trials.
