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

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.

As a Christ-centered community for students (ages 12–18), we’re raising up a generation of door openers — young people who:

Open doors to faith — by knowing Jesus deeply through prayer, worship, and the Word.

Open doors to friendship — by building authentic relationships and genuine community.

Open doors to purpose — by discovering their calling and living boldly for Christ.

Our heart is to empower students to be the next-gen door openers who live courageously, love radically, and make a lasting impact for the kingdom.

Join us every 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month,  at 10 AM to be part of what God is doing in and through the next generation.

Young Adults at LifeHouse

The door is open for you at LifeHouse Church! Our Young Adult Bible Study is a place to belong, grow, and be equipped for life. We’ve created a safe environment filled with warm hospitality, genuine friendships, and Spirit-filled community.

Together, we dive into Scripture to discover the heart and will of God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. As we learn to put on the whole armor of God, we are equipped and discipled to live boldly and share the Good News of Jesus, the King of Kings.

Join us on mission: to be the house of Jesus—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.

Dreams and Detours (Genesis 37:1–11)

Joseph was only 17 when God gave him a dream. His life looked bright, but almost immediately he was knocked down — not by strangers, but by his own brothers.

• God Plants the Dream (Gen. 37:5–7)

• Detours Come Through Wounds (Gen. 37:8–28)

• Detours Shape the Dreamer (Psalm 105:18–19)

Takeaway Truth:
The dream is God’s gift. The detour is God’s classroom.

Response Question:
What have you been reaching for after being knocked down — bitterness, revenge, or faith in God’s promise?

Wholehearted: Treasure in the Cracks

We are fragile jars of clay—ordinary, breakable, and full of cracks. Yet in His incredible grace, God has chosen to place His treasure inside us. The very places we try to hide are often the places where His light shines brightest.

This 4-week series is about living with authenticity, emotional health, and spiritual wholeness. It’s about refusing to fake it and learning to let God meet us in our weakness so that His strength becomes our story. Together, we’ll explore what it means to live wholeheartedly, with nothing hidden and nothing wasted.

This Sunday at LifeHouse – Guest Speaker Andrew Harrington

“To be perfect, even as your Heavenly Father is perfect.” – Matthew 5:48

This Sunday, we’re thrilled to welcome our very own Andrew Harrington to the LifeHouse pulpit. Andrew will be unpacking a challenging verse in Scripture—a call to perfection that has often led many into the trap of performance pressure and religious anxiety.

How do we reconcile this call without falling into striving?
How do we measure growth without turning it into a burden?

Andrew will guide us through the truth that Jesus is the only perfect One, and yet He still calls us into a journey of spiritual maturity, not self-made perfection. We’ll explore how the goal is connection over performance, and how the Holy Spirit empowers us to grow from the inside out.

Don’t miss this powerful and timely word.
Bring someone with you—a neighbor, a friend, or a family member who needs encouragement and grace.

LifeHouse Church – Sunday at 10AM
