That the World May Know S11E01 · The Way of the Essenes

Overview

At times, God chose to use the harsh reality of life in the desert near the Promised Land as a practical teaching tool to mold and shape His people. The Essenes went willingly into this wasteland to allow Him to do just that: to teach them His words and how to walk obediently in His ways. In this lesson, you will catch a glimpse of what it means to travel this path of obedience as you continue to "prepare the way" for the Lord. Scripture References: Deuteronomy 8:1-20, Deuteronomy 18:15, Isaiah 40:1-4, Isaiah 40:4-5, Isaiah 40:6-8 Locations: Dead Sea, Judean Wilderness, Qumran, Israel
