Origin Stories: Meant For More - Genesis 37

There is in all of us the ability to endure, persevere, and press through the most challenging of times. However, like with most things concerning our fallen world, what was meant to be doesn't always come about. What was meant to produce hope within us, often leads to the opposite - pessimism and negativity. Genesis 37-50 features a story that shows what happens when we don't abandon our faith when our plans and dreams seem to be altered. The resilience and determination on display in the heart of Jospeh reveals that the same kind of hope can be awakened in all of us as well. In this message, we study what distinguished Joseph in his generation and learn how we might possess (and maintain) his level of hope and connection to God.
