Out of the Ashes to Dream Again - Louie Giglio

About this sermon

Inspired by Passion’s recent trip to the Holy Land, Pastor Louie shares a powerful talk on the "road" to revitalized dreams. The excavation of the “Pilgrim Road” drove Pastor Louie to share on the importance of God’s timing and His will to draw us into His presence. Under the ruin, the layers of dirt and decay lie a path toward freedom and a relationship with God. It is on this path and in His presence that we regain our ability to dream; to envision our unique life lived for the glory of God and the good of others.
