Today, we have two messages from our teaching cohort. The first is with Andy Ross, followed by Jimmy Cleary. Both are excellent and continue our Servants & Stewards series on Joseph.

Joseph's story has always felt larger than life, marked by betrayal, power, and forgiveness. But these two messages remind us it's not just ancient history… It's our story. Because every one of us knows what it's like to be hurt. To be misunderstood. To feel like the pain someone else caused might define us forever.

Andy shows us that how we respond when people hurt us doesn't just shape today, but echoes for generations. And that forgiveness can break family patterns and set others free.

Jimmy reminds us that even when guilt and shame threaten to crush us, our Judge — the same God who knows every hidden sin — still longs to give us life.

As we step into these messages, remember: God isn't just telling Joseph's story, He's writing yours.

Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on November 2, 2025, at 8:00am and 9:30am. You can find us online at nwhills.com.
