The sins of Josephs brothers catch up with them, and they realize that what they did to Joseph all those years ago still carries consequences. Pastor Chris reminds us that the fear of the Lord is our opportunity to see the sin in our lives. The voice of the Lord is our warning against the consequences of sin and the conviction of the Lord is our moment to accept repentance of the sin in our lives.

Joseph: A Tale of Two Dreams
Joseph, Faithful In Every Place
We are to be faithful to the Lord in every place because the Lord is faithful to us in every Place. The Lord was with Joseph in slavery, in temptation and in prison. The Lord was faithful with Joseph in the prison and showed him his faithful love.

Recovery
Pastor Gayland shares a personal story of loss and God’s sovereignty. Peter and Paul give us a life changing example of prayer in chapter two of the book of Acts. A prayer that can still offer us comfort and direction to us today.
Resist and Restore
Pastor Chris encourages us to resist the ever-present temptations the Bible warns us of and pursue the blessing of God. It is important to self evaluate, reflect on God’s word and persevere in prayer.
Asking for Forgiveness
Pastor Chris reminds us of the importance of asking for forgiveness.
Self Examination and Confession
Self examination combined with honest confession positions us to receive and accept grace. We take regular and moral inventory and accept our responsibility for sin. We ask God for repentance and confess our sin to a trusted person. We accept forgiveness.
Letting Go
Confession
My first step to freedom is found in my confession. When I realize that I am not God, and admit that I cannot control my tendency to do the wrong thing on my own. Pastor Chris reminds us of the power of confessing our sins one to another.
Cheerful Giving
God cares more about out attitude towards giving than about the amount given. Paul called the church to excel in the grace of giving, and to match their eager desire with their means. We are still called to give what we have determined in our heart, and with joy.

Father forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing
