Devotional for February 26, 2026 with Rev. Steven Taylor

What are you leaning on today? Often, the biggest barrier between us and God isn't just our "sins," but our lack of trust. In Week 2 of our Chiseled series, Rev. Steven Taylor invites us into the wilderness with Jesus to look at the "raw wood" of our lives. If you feel like you’re in a dry or uncomfortable season, remember: the wilderness isn't a punishment - it’s a workshop. Are you willing to ask the hard questions and allow the Master Carver to remove the barriers of self-reliance?

 

Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry. — Luke 4:1-2
