1. Humility

2. Healthy Perspective

3. Action

Come and see through Jacob's sons how God can bless those who have forfeited their inheritance!

As Jacob's life draws to a close, look back with us to see how God has been near to him all along.

Joseph, now second-in-command in Egypt, finally has a chance to come face-to-face with his brothers who sold him into slavery so many years before. How will his trust in God shape that moment?

With Joseph's time in prison as the backdrop, Pastor Doug walks through what God does in the waiting.

When seized by temptation, by God's grace, we can overcome by:

Recognizing what's true

Resolving not to sin

Refusing

Running

Remaining in the way of the faithful.

We can be done with our self-seeking, self-preserving sickness by diagnosing our problem, being treated through faith and repentance, and the ongoing care of dependence on the Holy Spirit, who testifies to us about Christ's selfless ministry.

Where is God when you find yourself at the bottom of the pit?

How do we return to God for refreshment and renewal?

1. Remembering

2. Repentance

3. Embracing our commission
