Tom Logue - Wander

Tom Logue - January 11th 2026 When we stop listening and obeying, we wander — but prayer shows us the way forward. This week, Tom pauses our King and His Kingdom series to bring a prophetic and pastoral message rooted in Exodus 15 and Numbers 13–14, asking a piercing question the Lord placed on his heart: Why did God’s people wander in the wilderness? Though the journey from Egypt to the Promised Land should have taken days, Israel wandered for forty years because they chose complaint over trust and fear over obedience. Through the stories of Moses, Caleb, Joshua, and the people of Israel, Tom shows how forgetting what God is capable of leads to fear, rebellion, and spiritual drifting. The message presses closer to home as Tom reminds us that this is not just Israel’s story — it’s ours. When we stop listening to God and obeying His voice, we wander relationally, spiritually, and communally. Drawing a powerful modern analogy and tying it to the life of prayer, Tom calls the church to build their lives around ongoing, relational prayer, not occasional moments. Prayer is not a religious task — it’s the way we stay close to God, avoid wandering, and walk faithfully toward the Promised Land. As we step into a new year, this sermon invites every listener to examine their life honestly: Are we walking with God, or wandering without Him? The invitation is clear and hopeful — return to prayer, trust the Lord’s leadership, and walk forward together into the fullness of His kingdom.
