What if the future of the church is not found in trying to recreate the past—but in recognizing the new thing God is already doing?

In this final message of our five-week Lenten sermon series, Multiplying Love, Pastor Zach reflects on Isaiah’s promise that God is making a way in the wilderness and creating new paths through the desert. The church is continually being invited to listen, learn, repent, renew, and step faithfully into the opportunities God places before us.

Drawing from Colossians and the Wesleyan understanding of the image of God, this sermon reminds us that our deepest identity is not defined by division, fear, or the mistakes of our past. We are God’s chosen, holy, and loved people—called to have the image of God renewed within us so that we can recognize Christ in one another and love without pretending.
