In this new series, we'll be working our way through a character study of Joseph from Genesis. This message is intended to kick off the series by covering both the beginning and end of Joseph's story. What happens in between is the mystery of God working through broken stories, like mine and yours. Tyler reminds us to consider our own stories. The series on Joseph will be a call to dream and believe again. Why? Because, as we're going to discover throughout this series, God doesn't waste a broken story, which means God won't waste your life. But if you try to figure it out by yourself, you'll miss how Jesus is trying to transform you!

Questions for Reflection?

• In what ways has "the dream" for your life not gone according to "the plan"?

• Have you ever (or are you now) tempted to give up on your dreams or your faith?

• What is stopping you from experiencing God at work in your life?
