Joseph - Faith, Integrity & God's Providence - Waiting
Speaker: Kathy Mavity
π Joseph - Waiting π
Hello, Joy Church family!
πβ¨ Waiting isn't wasted when it's surrendering to God... ππ
Have you ever felt forgotten, overlooked, or stuck in life's waiting room? In a powerful exploration of Joseph's prison experience, Pastor Kathy illuminates how even our seasons of confinement can become divine appointments. Through Joseph's remarkable story of maintaining faith while falsely imprisoned, we discover that waiting isn't wasted when it's surrendered to God's purpose. Joseph didn't just survive his waiting seasonβhe stewarded it by serving others, staying faithful, and keeping his eyes fixed on God rather than his circumstances.
