From dreams to destiny, the story of Joseph in the Old Testament is full of twists, turns, unpredictable obstacles, and unexpected outcomes. Throughout this summer message series, “Determined Dreamer,” we’ll be exploring Joseph the dreamer’s life journey. Throughout his life, Joseph faced sibling rivalry, greed, slavery, sexual harassment, imprisonment, neglect, alienation from home, and even success itself. Despite these many challenges, Joseph’s determination to remain faithful and obedient to the LORD turned a series of unfortunate events into greatness and redemption.

From pit to palace, bottom to top, and reaching a pivotal moment with his brothers, Joseph finally reveals himself to his brothers. After twenty years and having been painfully wronged by them, he offers reconciliation and forgiveness. As followers of Christ, we are called to practice forgiveness towards those who trespass against us, as Jesus forgives us our trespasses. Who is God asking you to forgive?
