This Sunday, we’ll continue our series "For Good: The Life of Joseph" as we follow Joseph’s journey into Egypt. After being sold into slavery by his brothers, Joseph ends up in the house of Potiphar. And though he’s now in Egypt, Joseph’s story seems to take a promising turn. In Potiphar’s house, Joseph rises to a position of trust and responsibility. But then comes one of the most well-known moments in Joseph’s life - his encounter with Potiphar’s wife. Joseph refuses her advances, is falsely accused, and ends up in prison for something he didn’t do.
Most sermons on this passage focus on Joseph’s ability to resist temptation. The lesson usually goes something like this: be strong, avoid sin, and follow Joseph’s example. But is that really what this story is about? What if the point of the story isn’t simply Joseph’s willpower? What if something deeper is happening here?
Join us at Reach this Sunday for a message I’ve titled “How to Stop Sinning.” (I’m really excited about this one.)
See you soon!
