Surviving In Egypt (Life of Joseph) No.2- Alone in A Pit

from GraceLife Sarasota · host Joe Davis

Some of the most difficult, painful moments in life are the ones where we’re betrayed by the people closest to us. We instinctively view betrayers with contempt, and we naturally empathize with the betrayed far more than the ones doing the betraying. Jesus Himself experienced this pain with both Peter and Judas. We comfort ourselves by casting betrayers as villains, shaking our heads at their choices. But if we’re going to understand grace, we need to do something uncomfortable: we must admit that we can empathize with the betrayers too. That honesty opens our eyes to how desperately we need redemption—and how miraculous it is when grace takes hold despite our depravity. Keep that in mind today as we walk through the moment Joseph’s brothers threw him into a pit. Their story isn’t just ancient history; it’s a mirror that reveals far more about us than we’d like to admit.

Faith Life Church with Keith Moore (Video) Keith Moore Keith Moore is the founder and president of Moore Life Ministries and Faith Life Church of both Branson, Missouri and Sarasota, Florida. Two of the greatest emphases of Brother Moore's ministry are the importance of the written Word and the necessity of being led by the Spirit.Having traveled extensively across the US and abroad for over 30 years, Keith and his wife Phyllis minister strongly on such areas as love, faith, healing, prosperity, and honor.Their heart is to see the lost saved, the sick healed, the distressed relieved, the broken restored, and the discouraged empowered to victory. Brother Moore says, "True Christianity is not the formal, powerless thing that so many have come to know. Real fellowship with the living Christ, the Anointed One, results in the destruction of every bondage, the removal of every burden, and the fulfillment of every good desire. There is no life so exciting as the victorious life that is true Christianity."You will find the teaching ministry of Music Compound Backstage Sharing news, events, and other happenings of Music Compound school of rock in Sarasota, FL as well as music news on the Suncoast.
