Genesis 46:34

As God’s agents of reconciliation in his broken world, you and I can make a difference in our circles by opening up our minds to see value in people not like us.

Like Joseph’s story, our own stories contain places of brokenness and experiences of rejection, jealousy, injustice, and grief. We also find glimpses of hope, perseverance, forgiveness, and unexpected blessing. This plan will guide you in an honest exploration of your own experiences and how they’ve shaped you. You’ll watch the God of Israel miraculously reconcile and restore Joseph and his family, while you reflect on your own journey of healing.

Have you ever wondered about your purpose in this life? Some seek their so-called destiny for a lifetime and never find it, while others seem to embrace a calling in which they find fulfillment.

Hurdles can impede us in finding and doing the will of God. Moses, our “guide” in discovering the God of God’s will, drew near to the burning bush on the backside of nowhere, and heard God speak to him there. But as soon as Moses heard what God had to say, he encountered two significant hurdles— and those same two things can become barriers for you and me.
