Lessons from the Life of Joseph Pt. 1
We’re three weeks into our latest series on “Lessons from the Life…” of biblical characters from some of the earliest stories of the Bible. This week we begin a two-part series on Joseph the 11th son of Jacob (AKA Israel). While Joseph does do a lot of things right (compared to some of his close familiy members) he’s certainly not perfect and his story gives us hints about his own fualts of pride and arrogance, but the overwhelming message of his story is that God is always at work, even when everything seems terrible, even when we don’t hear a direct divine word or see a miracle taking place.
