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
Pray your doubts. Maybe you’ve been questioning your faith lately. Maybe you or someone else along the journey has poked holes in the belief you held as a child. Maybe your concepts of God and life aren’t standing up to new ideas you’re hearing from peers or professors. Or maybe suffering is causing you to rethink everything. If so, this week’s assignment is for you. Pray your doubts. Bring your doubts to God. Fuss and fume at Him. Talk to Him about that worst case scenario you keep playing in your head. And step into Isaiah 43:1-3. Just like our study of Joseph, God is closer than you think.
