In this edition of UBC "Sermon Discussions" Pastor Jason answers questions related to his Genesis 37:1-36 sermon and comments on the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

The main idea for the sermon was: When life seems to be killing your dreams, God is doing something bigger than you can imagine.

Questions discussed in this episode: 

Remind us why Joseph's story is an important part of biblical history?

"God isn't merely watching all things in the world, he is working all things in the world." — Isn't this hard to believe in light of how evil our world seems? How do we have hope that God is in control of everything?
What has most impacted you regarding Charlie Kirk's assassination?
Do you think Charlie Kirk was a martyr?
How can I have the confidence, courage, and unashamed boldness to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus fully knowing that it may cost me my life?

How do we reconcile the differing views of Charlie Kirk since some Christians see him as a bold patriot and man of faith, and other Christians see him as a political bully and inconsistent example of Christ. Can both be true?

How should I feel toward someone who celebrates the persecution of the saints?

How could this galvanize what we’ve already been seeing a sign of awakening in our country and what can our church and individuals do to join in?

How do we address this situation with our kids?
