Stuck 03 - Stuck With a New Normal

This is the third week in our Joseph study called Stuck. This week will analyze the part of his story that shows him settling into his life in Egypt. We’ll refer to this season as being “stuck with a new normal.” Sometimes life throws us a curve and we end up where we end up. For Joseph that was in Egypt – a place he never imagined being with people he didn’t want to be with.  But as we observe his life, we see how gave himself, even in Egypt, to serve a higher purpose. We’ll learn that God can make us fruitful where ever we are, in every situation.

Stuck 02 - Stuck With Disappointment

This is week 2 in our series on the life of Joseph and we will be studying the cycles of betrayal and injustice that lead to him to encounter extreme disappointment.  There is no clearer indication of that, than how Genesis 40 concludes by saying that Joseph had been “forgotten.” When we are stuck in disappointment we feel forgotten. However the Midrash (Jewish interpretation of the Old Testament) states about Joseph: “You may have forgotten him, but I the Lord have not.”  In light of that certain fact, we want to focus on some ways that we can redirect our hope and faith to the Lord in times of disappointment. We’ll land on a few practical things we can do to be faithful in those seasons of distress.

Stuck 01 - Stuck With a Promise

Today we focus on Joseph’s dream (Gen 37) and learn about being “stuck with a promise.” The Bible offers over 7,000 promises from God to us. Nothing can burn brighter in our heart than to have a hopeful promise to cling to. But, the heart can become sick when hope feels deferred (Proverbs 13:12). From the opening of Joseph’s story we are going to learn how to handle promises with humility – giving God the room to fulfill promises in His way, in His time, and in His strength.

PS23 - Wherever, Whenever, Forever 07 - Live Forever

We have reached the end of our consummation of our series PS23. Psalm 23 is a beautifully worded poem by David. David knows what a shepherd is and understands what a shepherd does. Combining his personal experience of taking care of sheep with his knowledge of the Lord, David was able to describe God in an accurate and familiar way. Today we look at where we are called to dwell.

PS23 - Whenever, Wherever, Forever 06 - Keep Pouring

This morning we look at Psalm 23:6 in our series of PS 23. If the Lord is the shepherd who leads the flock, goodness and mercy are the two sheepdogs that guard the rear of the flock. Goodness and mercy. Not goodness alone, for we are sinners in need of mercy. Not mercy alone, for we are fragile, in need of goodness. We need them both.

PS23 - Whenever, Wherever, Forever 05 - In the Company of Enemies

This Sunday we are exploring the difficult truth of Psalm 23:5 which deals with living our lives for God “in the presence of our enemies.” That means we have, and will have enemies – people who oppose and attack us. Across Scripture there are some different responses toward our enemies that are mentioned; but as followers of Jesus we have a high and holy obligation to follow in His steps and live a “laid down life.” That doesn’t mean we are indifferent, weak, or a doormat for those who oppose us, but that we practice a life habit of trusting God to deal with our enemies and make the powerful choice to extend grace to them.

PS23 - Wherever, Whenever, Forever 04 - Valley Theology

This morning we are continuing our teaching series called PS 23. Even though there’s a lot about this passage that is familiar, we are making new discoveries and finding fresh ways to make this Scripture useful in everyday life. Today our section of Psalm 23 brings us to a much-needed conversation about valleys, low points in life. When you envision “valleys” maybe you think in terms of serene valleys with lush landscapes which is often the visual subject of a Bob Ross painting. But valley references in the Bible, especially those mentioned by David in Psalm 23, are rugged, shadowy, dangerous places.

PS 23 - Whenever, Wherever, Forever 03 - The Pivot Point

In week 3 of our PS 23 study, we focus on vs 3 and the crucial pivot point every believer faces - will we trust in the Lord by allowing Him to lead us through life.  It takes a small amount of faith (mustard seed size) to believe in Jesus as our Savior, it takes a bigger measure of faith to trust Him as our Shepherd. As Psalm 23 promises, the Good Shepherd will revive us and get us back on our feet so that we can follow Him down the right paths.  We will get behind some of the challenging actions that require greater faith as we seek to follow Him.
