Preaching in the Wilderness – Luke 3:3
John likely began preaching in the wilderness before he had much of an audience. He is an example of faithfulness to God’s call in his life.
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. (2 Cor. 4:7 NIV)
