Jesus, did you just spit on me? | Sermon | Rev Josh Lee

Jesus encounters one man who’s born blind and gives him sight by spitting in the dirt and rubbing mud in his eyes.

THIS FEELING'S GOT ME LIKE | "Lonely"

Lonely in the wilderness.

The pandemic of loneliness existed long before COVID-19, and being lonely can make us feel like we’re lost in the wilderness.

In this Sunday’s message, guest preacher and former Forefront Brooklyn associate pastor Jennifer Fisher of Launchpad Partners tells us that the wilderness can be the place where we come to know God the strongest, and can actually be a place of hope for us to grow deeper in relationship with God, each other, and creation.

This is the fourth sermon in our “This Feeling's Got Me Like...” series.
