Rising Out of the Pit: Lessons From the Life of Joseph

Joseph is one of the most beloved characters in the Bible. He was a young man filled with dreams from God, favored by his father, betrayed by his brothers, sold into slavery, who ended up in a dungeon. Joseph gives us a story far beyond what the average Christian will ever go through. Yet, if God could deliver Joseph and turn his cursing into blessing, He can deliver you.

You may feel like you are in bondage in Egypt. You may feel like you are in the wilderness. Or you may feel like you just crossed the Red Sea with battles ahead. Regardless of where you are in the fulfillment of your promise from God, let the life of Joseph serve as a source of encouragement and inspiration.

In this world, difficult situations confront us all. Whether our problems are seemingly insignificant or overwhelmingly daunting, God cares and is the way to overcome. Gain faith, courage, and hope as you join Bob Yandian in studying the life of Joseph.
