Fully Alive: Life Beyond the Pit

We’ve been exploring in John 15 Jesus’ vision for a fully alive people- a fruitful and abiding life. This week we begin looking at biblical stories where God called people to embrace His appointed purpose in the midst of difficult circumstances. We start with Joseph, whose life could have been defined by favouritism, betrayal, and suffering. Yet God was weaving a greater plan, for Joseph’s good and for the life of many. In the same way, the fully alive person trusts God’s larger picture and embraces His invitation to abide, be appointed, be pruned, and to bear fruit that lasts. Pastor Devan Scollon
