In this thought for 2nd Sunday (our monthly informal, all-age worship), we explore the profound truth of God’s protection as revealed in Psalm 91 and exemplified in the life of Jesus during his time in the wilderness. With honesty and relevance, we're invited to reflect on what it means to be truly protected by God - not always from challenges, but through them.
Drawing parallels between the Psalmist’s promises and Jesus’ temptations, this message speaks to anyone wrestling with the questions of suffering, temptation, and divine safety. Discover how testing can be part of God’s protection plan to strengthen, mature, and prepare us for his purpose.
