Nothing
Wasted
Most people are carrying something they'd take back if they could.
We’re walking through the story of Joseph, a man who experienced betrayal, rejection, loss, and years of uncertainty, and discovered that God was still at work through all of it. None of it gets wasted.
Who comes to mind?

Week 3
When You Want an Escape
If you know someone who is under a lot of pressure, looking for an escape, wrestling with temptation, tired of doing the right thing, comparing their life to everyone else’s, or starting to justify choices they know probably aren’t good for them, this week could hit home. The message specifically connects pain and disappointment with that urge to find relief wherever we can.
Think of someone who: keeps saying “I deserve this,” feels like what they have is never enough, is tempted by a relationship they shouldn’t pursue, is chasing more money or status, or is trying to fill something deeper with something that only feels good for a minute.
One-liner: When life gets hard, almost anything that promises relief can start to look like a good idea. This Sunday, we’re talking about the temptations to feel, have, and be more; and how Joseph stayed true to who he was even when nobody would have blamed him for taking the easy way out.
Invite line: This Sunday is about the stuff we’re all tempted to reach for when life isn’t going the way we want. I thought of you. Come with me.

It feels like one of those conversations pretty much everyone can find themselves in. Want to come with me?
Sometimes it’s harmless. Sometimes we start telling ourselves, “I deserve this,” and stop asking whether the thing giving us relief is actually good for us.
That’s what we’re talking about this Sunday at my church. If that sounds a little too familiar, come with me. Let me know and I'll save you a seat.
