The Message Archives.

Welcome to the Message Archives!

These are installments of "The Message" from years gone by, since Wilderness Ministries started as a newsletter, back in 1996.
The Message is a topical teaching and may have one installment, or several in a series, which was called The Message.
To see new Messages from recent posts by Pastor Carleton, you can visit The New Message Blog.
Whether an Archive or a New Message, the Word of God is Truth, and the Truth doesn't change. So these teachings are relevant, regardless of how old they may be. God Bless you and we hope you are increased by these teachings!
