Lawless (November 9)
From Barren to Breakthrough (week 9)
Today’s Big Idea: Even in the most barren and lawless times, God is still working behind the scenes to birth deliverance. What looks dead and hopeless can still give life when God steps in.
God Plants Miracles in Barren Places
Barrenness = shame, hopelessness, but God works there.
God’s miracles often start where human strength ends.

God’s Word Always Comes with Purpose
God never speaks without a plan.
His Word gives direction and boundaries to protect the blessing.
