Against All Odds: Joseph-Trust the Process

In this sermon, Pastor Johnathan delves into the life of Joseph as part of the "Against All Odds" series. He focuses on the theme of trusting God's process, even when it involves difficult trials. The pastor outlines three main tests Joseph faced: the test of the pit (being sold into slavery), the test of purity (resisting Potiphar's wife), and the test of prison (maintaining a positive attitude despite unjust circumstances).

Throughout these trials, Joseph consistently chose to honor God and maintain his integrity. Pastor Johnathan emphasizes that God was always with Joseph, preparing him for a greater purpose. He draws parallels to our own lives, encouraging listeners to trust God's process, even when it's challenging. The sermon reminds us that what we perceive as punishment may actually be God's preparation, and that He can use our trials to shape us for His glory.

Key scriptures referenced include Matthew 19:26, "With God everything is possible," and Genesis 50:20, where Joseph recognizes God's greater plan in his suffering. Pastor Johnathan concludes by urging the congregation to examine their own lives, lay down their burdens, and trust in God's unfailing word and presence.
