Jordan takes us through Chapter 41, and Joseph's rise to power in Egypt. We consider the trappings and wealth and treasure, and how Joseph kept his heart oriented to God's care and provision in his life despite his come up. Joseph's example shows us how to treat times of plenty in our own lives.

Joseph's story has many twists and turns through it and, in chapter 40, we encounter Jospeh, in prison, waiting for God to deliver him...and just when it seems like he is about to be delivered, he ends up waiting two more years. We see how, in our waiting, God is faithfully present with us through looking at three things Jospeh’s waiting is marked by.

As we continue to look at Joseph life, we are confronted with God’s providential hand at work in Joseph’s story. In Genesis 39, we see three ways God is providentially at work in our lives. God providentially place Joseph in Potiphar house, providentially provide an escape for Joseph as he faces temptation, and providentially with Jospeh at another low in his life.

Pastor Luke starts off our series looking at the story of Joseph, from the book of Genesis.

Today we transition from the theory of prayer to the practice of prayer. We look at three transforming realities of prayer that – when practiced – can transform our prayer life.

This week we will see is that prayer has real power that can bring real change into our world. In our message we look at Moses’ intercession for the people of Israel in Exodus 32, and see how God places us right place, at the right time, to pray for others.

James tells us that we do not have because we don’t ask. What does that mean? Why does God have us ask if He already knows what we want and need? Jordan helps us unpack that. We talk about snacks.

This week we are looking at prayers of confession. Confessing our sins does not come naturally to us. Our nature is to hide and cover our sins and this often leads to spiritual sickness.In our message, we look at how the gospel invites us to confess our sins and what that actually looks like in practice in our lives.

Rightfully considering the person and character of God allows us to better see Him as worthy of praise – this can shape our hearts as we pray to Him. By Acknowledging God's Majesty and Holiness, Expressing Gratitude for God's Faithfulness, and Surrendering in Trust and Dependence we can prepare our hearts and minds to see God in awe. As Mick reminds us, all prayer is an act of worship.

We kick off our series on Prayer with this double feature.
