Sermon Series: God Meant It for Good — The Journey of Joseph

We invite you to join us this Sunday as we continue our powerful journey through the life of Joseph in our series, “God Meant It For Good.” Part 7 where God rewrites our story.

This week we’ll explore the turning point in Joseph’s story—where pain meets purpose, and where years of confusion, betrayal, and injustice begin to make sense under the hand of a faithful God. Joseph’s story teaches us that even when circumstances don’t look hopeful, God is still at work behind the scenes, shaping our character, healing our wounds, and preparing us for what He has prepared for us.

You may be walking through a season that feels uncertain or unresolved — but just like Joseph, your story is not over.
God is still writing.
God is still redeeming.
God is still good.

Come ready to be encouraged, strengthened, and reminded that your present chapter is not your final one.

Sermon Series: God Meant It for Good — The Journey of Joseph

This next Sunday, join us for a special message as our very own Andrew Harrington continues our powerful journey through the life of Joseph.

In Part 6: The Power of Forgiveness,

Andrew unpacks one of the most emotional and transformative moments in Joseph’s story — the reunion with his brothers in Genesis 45:1–15.

When Joseph finally reveals himself, years of pain, betrayal, and separation come to a breaking point. Yet instead of revenge, he chooses redemption. Through Joseph’s tears and words, “It was not you who sent me here, but God,” we see the heart of true forgiveness — seeing God’s purpose beyond the pain.

This message will explore how:

• Forgiveness aligns us with God’s perspective, even when others have wronged us.

• Forgiveness releases the past, breaking the chains of bitterness and revenge.

• Forgiveness restores relationships, opening the door for reconciliation and blessing.

Come ready to encounter God’s grace in a fresh way. Whether you’re carrying a wound from your past, wrestling with resentment, or longing for reconciliation, this message will help you see how God can rewrite your story with His redemptive hand.

Message 5 – The view from here
Genesis 41 – November 2nd

After years of false starts, betrayal, and silence, Joseph’s life finally begins to shift. The dream that once seemed buried is being resurrected as he’s called out of the dungeon and into Pharaoh’s palace. In this message, The View From Here, we explore how God’s timing, wisdom, and purpose converge to redeem what looked wasted.

Joseph teaches us that promotion doesn’t come from the east or the west — it comes from God (Psalm 75:6–7). Every pit, prison, and pause was shaping a man who could carry the weight of destiny with humility and faith.

This week we’ll unpack the meaning behind Joseph’s two sons — Manasseh (“God made me forget”) and Ephraim(“God made me fruitful”) — revealing a powerful truth:

If we don’t let God redeem our past, we’ll hinder our present and miss our future.

Come discover how to see your story through redemptive lenses — to find healing from what’s behind you and fruitfulness in what’s ahead.
Because when you finally reach the ridge and look back, you’ll realize God’s hand was guiding every step of the way.

Series: God Meant It for Good

Message 4 – Dreams in the Dark
Genesis 40 – October 26

Joseph’s story didn’t end in Potiphar’s house. Betrayed, falsely accused, and confined to prison, he now faces what looks like another dead end. Yet even in the darkest places, the presence of God is still with him, and the gift God gave him is still alive.

We discovered together that:

• God’s gifts still work in the waiting.

• Faithfulness in the dark leads to influence in the light.

• When people forget you, God remembers you.

Joseph’s prison wasn’t his final stop — it was the setup for his next assignment. And the same is true for us: your detour is God’s classroom, your confinement may be the very place He is shaping your calling.

Join us next Sunday as we continue the series God Meant It for Good and learn how the Lord works even in the dark seasons of life.

We’re a Jesus-centered community committed to caring personally, serving practically, and living powerfully.

Sermon Series: God Meant It for Good — The Journey of Joseph

October 5 – November 30, 2025

Life doesn’t always go the way we expect. Dreams inspire us, but detours shape us. Through the life of Joseph, we’ll discover how God can take betrayal, disappointment, and delay and turn them into the very tools that form our character and prepare us for His purposes.

This fall series walks through Genesis 37–50, showing us how Joseph’s story points us to Jesus: the Savior Son who redeems our past, transforms our present, and secures our future.

Today’s Message — October 19

God’s presence in Pressure (Genesis 39)

In Part 3 of our God Meant It for Good series, we looked at Joseph’s story in Genesis 39. We saw how, even after betrayal and loss, “the Lord was with Joseph.” God’s presence proved greater than Joseph’s position, sustaining him through testing and giving purpose even in the prison. We also unpacked the anatomy of temptation through Joseph’s encounter with Potiphar’s wife, and we were reminded that God’s Spirit empowers us to stand firm in purity and integrity. The message called us to treasure God’s presence above titles, possessions, or circumstances, and to trust that He is working good in us even under pressure.
