Joseph's life was fraught with challenge. But at each moment, whether enslavement, imprisonment, or in authority and power...at each moment, God was with him and guiding him to his destiny. What does life look like when God is with you?

Joseph’s brother Judah lied to himself and created pain and misery in his life. When we lie to ourselves, we will double down on that lie and it leads to destruction. The truth of God’s word can break off lies that we tell ourselves, and give us true freedom in Jesus.

Whether you've walked through traumatic events or have had childhood hopes and dreams that haven't been realized yet, God was there. When we know and trust that God will use all things for the good (even when those things are painful), we can know that His plan for our lives will bring life and hope to those around us.

As we prepare to learn from the life of Joseph, it’s important to take a look at our lives to see how God wants us to grow throughout this series. This spiritual check-up involves looking at our habits, our relationships, and our minds and hearts...all to be closer to Jesus!

Being a part of the family of God means doing things together. We’re imperfect, and it’s messy. But uniting in loving each other and our neighbors is what we should be known for. Let us study God’s word and give love to those around us.

One of the miracles Jesus performed was to take a few fish and a little bread and fed 5000 people. But Jesus didn’t just give them scraps! He is generous, and when he pours out love, grace, healing, or blessings it’s more than enough. He is more than enough!

We often look to entertainment or people to fill our lives, but still feel empty. Being in fellowship with Jesus and each other helps us to give love away, and it unites all of us believers together. It all begins with fellowship.

Jesus gave us access to God through His sacrifice, so why don't we use it? Taking the time to talk to God about everything can change everything, but most importantly...God is worth speaking to and waiting on. He's worth it all.

If you rush through an art gallery you'll miss the beauty. and intimacy of the paintings on display. Life, as in art, asks us to slow down to appreciate the glory of God around us and in our own lives, and not just for our benefit.

Paul and Patty underwent a radical transformation through the power of Christ. From drug dealers and hippies to ministers of the gospel who reach out to drug dealers and the homeless, they've been radically saved and changed for the glory of God. But their greatest legacy isn't their church or their ministry...it's God's love in them and their family.
