Streams in the Wilderness

Chapter 7: Streams in the Wilderness continues Dr. Robert C. Crowder’s series The Gospel According to Isaiah with a message of divine provision and sustaining grace. From Isaiah 41:17–20, Dr. Crowder proclaims the Lord’s promise to meet the needs of “the poor and needy” when there is no water—when life feels barren, dry, and unyielding. God promises more than relief—He promises transformation: rivers in high places, fountains in valleys, pools in deserts. This sermon draws attention to the way God intervenes not only to satisfy thirst but to glorify His name through it. The trees planted in the wilderness—each one a deliberate choice by the Lord—stand as witnesses that only God could do such a thing. Dr. Crowder calls believers to trust that even in the dry seasons of life, God is neither absent nor silent. He is present, working beneath the surface, turning desolation into fruitfulness so that His people—and the world—may know He is the Lord.
