Lent: Lessons from the Wilderness - Sam Bricknell

Ever had a mountaintop moment with God only to find yourself back in the valley a week later? Yeah, us too. In this message, Pastor Sam gets real about the challenge of carrying what God does in our intentional seasons into everyday life. Starting with a simple exercise (grab your phone, you'll want to write this one down), we explore how the crowd's dramatic shift from praise to condemnation in just five days mirrors our own spiritual ups and downs. The desert mothers and fathers understood something crucial: intentionality with God can't just be a season—it has to become a lifestyle. As we conclude our Lent journey and look toward Easter, this message is a powerful reminder that transformation happens when we know who we belong to.
