The voice of one calling, like comfort to us all. That voice of comfort does not come from high pyramids or silver stones or fancy horses but from the wilderness.
QUESTIONS FOR THE WEEK: Wilderness Voice
When you think of the voice calling from the wilderness and John the Baptist as that voice, what do you think of when you hear wilderness?
Read Mark 1:1-13. John the Baptist is that Voice from the wilderness, and Jesus goes into the wilderness after being baptized. What do you think the wilderness means at the beginning of the Gospel of Mark?
Read Isaiah 40:1-8. Why do you think this passage begins with “Comfort, comfort” before talking about the wilderness?
What are those places of struggle that God can give you a voice of good news for your neighbors?

This sermon could just as easily be titled YHWH I AM EGO EIMI. Today we are going to take a journey to the Land of Holiness. When we get there, we will still be here.. Yes, that is a paradox. No, we are not going to leave this sanctuary. This is a journey of the heart, of the soul. Once we know where holiness lives, it will come alive in us.
