You fear you won't make it through. We all do. We fear that the depression will never lift, the yelling will never stop, the pain will never leave. In the pits, surrounded by steep walls and aching reminders, we wonder: Will this gray sky ever brighten? This load ever lighten?
In this six-session small group Bible study, pastor and New York Times best-selling author, Max Lucado offers refreshing assurance. Max reminds participants God doesn't promise that getting through trials will be quick or painless. It wasn't for Joseph—tossed in a pit by his brothers, sold into slavery, wrongfully imprisoned, forgotten and dismissed. But his Old Testament story is in the Bible for this reason: to teach us to trust God to trump evil.
With the compassion of a pastor, the heart of a storyteller, and the joy of one who has seen what God can do, Max explores the story of Joseph and the truth of Genesis 50:20. What Satan intends for evil, God redeems for good.

WE CARE, YOU MATTER, YOU COUNT!
This Sunday you will notice that the attendance sheets will not be up front as you enter the Worship center. Instead, each row will be given a clipboard with blank attendance sheets. Please Help us “Count you In” by filling in your name (First and Last name) and which service(s) you attend. It’s also an opportunity to let us know of any address, phone or email changes.
Thank you for your letting us “count you in”!
