"Sunday connect groups are a great place to build community and build relationships with people your age while building a relationship with God. I love going to connect groups because it’s given me some of my closest friends, and I’m able to spend time with them and God. They’ve shown me how to grow my relationship with God and given me accountability."

God doesn't waste your suffering. Life isn't fair, but you can trust God and His plans for you.

Last night at Midweek, Corey shared with us about the life of Joseph, looking at Genesis 50:18-21.

Joseph had moment after moment in his life where the circumstances and his life experiences seemed wildly unfair, but God used his suffering to bring about life, positioning Joseph to be able to save his family from famine.

We learned that // Jesus is the better Joseph. //

He suffered, tasting death for everyone, rising from the grave, so that all people can have the opportunity to have Eternal Life (!!) through Him, if they will turn from sin and believe.

So, today, if your circumstances don't seem fair:
✨ Remember God's faithfulness to Joseph
✨ Remember God's past faithfulness to you
✨ Remember that, in Jesus, God has given you eternal life (which you didn't deserve)
Then ASK God to help you trust Him and His plan for your future.

He hasn't abandoned you, and He will never waste your suffering.

Life isn't fair, but you can trust God. He who promised is. faithful.

SAVE THE DATE - NOV. 15!! 🦃🍴🥳
