THINGS UNSEEN, Part 3, Joseph’s Furnace of Affliction
Scripture References: Genesis 39:1-21, Genesis 41:1, Genesis 40:1-23
From Current Series: "THINGS UNSEEN"
What do you know about Joseph from the book of Genesis? He had a cool coat, right? Yah, but there’s a depth and weight to his story that goes way beyond his multi-colored coat. Joseph’s saga was full of twists and turns. He was raised in a dysfunctional family, rejected by his siblings, thrown into a foreign culture, and forced to endure all sorts of unfair treatment. But that’s not the whole story. God was with Joseph, and Joseph learned to trust God’s love even when everything around him felt bewildering.
