    The Journey: Part 5

    Sometimes God allows us to endure things for reasons we don't understand. Sometimes the people we count on disappoint us the most. Sometimes God positions us in places we would never choose to be. Join us as Pastor Brian Pursley discusses these themes from the life of Joseph, detailed in Genesis 40, and shares why we should use our platforms and positions to help others, why empathy and sympathy are vitally important even when we ourselves are suffering, and how these things help the church function at its best.

    Growing: Part 5
    Jul 14 2024
    God's ways are so much greater than our ways. We become dependent on ourselves and our own abilities, and are driven by the idea that we have to reach our full potential. Join Pastor Brian Pursley as we investigate Jesus withdrawing himself away from everything in the wilderness for 40 days. Spend time praying within isolation. Create spiritual discipline, by finding a place where you can be in that isolation everyday. God frequently communicates with us, and sometimes it's very obvious. More often than not though, he is more subtle and whispers. Create a space where you can hear that.

    It’s always easier to recognize the flaws of others than it is to confront our own imperfections. Join Pastor Brian Pursley as he discusses Genesis 38 and how secrecy and the cycle of shame can impact our lives, God’s design for sexuality, and how the hope of redemption and restoration seen in Judah and Tamar’s experiences is the same hope offered to each of us.
