Learn how Joseph went from cherished son to captive and prisoner while trusting God for the outcome and overcoming disappointment.
Amen!! But now, do not therefore be grieved or angry with yourselves because you sold me here; for God sent me before you to preserve life. 6 For these two years the famine has been in the land, and there are still five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvesting. 7 And God sent me before you to preserve a [a]posterity for you in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. 8 So now it was not you who sent me here, but God; and He has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
In spite of his trials, Joseph was faith and he maintained his integrity through his hardships and disappointments. In turn God was faithful to Joseph, even in the midst of the storm. Joseph’s uprightness serves as a wonderful example for us to emulate in our Christian walk. Dr. Jeremiah’s sermon was edifying and encouraging.
Beautifully Done!

Its never to late to listen to this message…yes, I too have been hurt and need to forgive…my prayer is that Jesus will give me the heart like Joseph to willing forgive. Thank you again pastor Jeremiah 💕from Seattle ~
He’s truly my favorite character in the Bible. I relate with him and wait for God to deliver me. My own family betrayed me but I know after all the years of suffering God has helped me grow and he has a plan. I get down sometimes but I always bounce back up and get back on track with Jesus!
I love the comparison between Joseph and Jesus❤️
