Joseph was raised in a dysfunctional family, abused by his brothers, sold into slavery, and falsely accused and imprisoned—all before the age of thirty. The evidence was stacked to conclude that God was not with him or near him—or even on his side. But despite being punished, an innocent victim of fear and fault, he finds out God is actually closer than he thinks. Join us for a series on the life of Joseph, and let his tangled, tender story color your own.
Homework
Sit in the passenger seat of a car and check out the window as a reminder “objects in mirror are closer than they appear”. Read Psalm 44, then read Romans 8 and let it sink in. Remember to check your blind spot, but remember God is with you too, closer than you think.
