Built in The Wilderness

Nov 23, 2025    Corey Saxton

In a world where instant gratification reigns supreme, Pastor Corey delivers a powerful message about the purpose of wilderness seasons in our spiritual journey. Drawing from Jesus' 40-day temptation, he reveals how God intentionally leads us into challenging seasons not to break us, but to build us. With vivid modern analogies - from GPS navigation to phone batteries - Pastor Corey illustrates how God provides everything we need for the journey, even when His voice seems silent. The wilderness isn't punishment but preparation, where our faith is refined like precious gold through testing. Through temptation and trials, we learn to stay focused on God rather than our circumstances, emerging stronger and more equipped for His purposes. This timely message reminds believers that our wilderness seasons aren't about losing or lacking - they're about being forged, fortified, and filled with fresh fire for the next level of ministry God has prepared for us.
