Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Servants & Stewards series on Joseph.

The story of Joseph contains the most remarkable rags-to-riches story in history. After thirteen years of living in the pit, Joseph is catapulted to the literal palace of the Egyptian empire—all in a single day. It's the kind of story that fairy tales are made of, yet it's true.

This is a story of hope, because we believe in a God who breaks in, and who can bring us out of any pit that we find ourselves in. But the ultimate hope of the story of Joseph is that it's a placeholder for an even greater story of rescue--one that profoundly impacts our eternal destiny.
