Finishing Well (We are all going to die!) | Mark Searle | REFINED

This week Mark wraps up looking at the story of Joseph. Catch up here where we look at the following.Life is not ultimately about building a personal legacy. It is about being caught up in God’s story, with Jesus at the centre.A sobering truth and a better hope: We will all die, but Jesus offers eternal life that starts now for anyone who chooses to follow him.Joseph’s story points beyond Joseph: Genesis frames this as the story of Jacob’s family, reminding us we are not the centre. God is.Adoption and identity: Like Ephraim and Manasseh being adopted and blessed, the New Testament says we are adopted into God’s family and become heirs with Christ.The cultural pressure: Our culture pushes us to be the author of our own story. This creates anxiety and keeps us fighting for control.The invitation: Get out of the centre and let Jesus be King. Die to self so we can live fully in him.What faithful following looks like: Not chasing “extraordinary” moments, but practising ordinary, daily obedience that makes space for Jesus to do the extraordinary.
