God gave Joseph a dream that the world would bow down before him, even his father, his mother, and his brothers. The way that God made that dream come through for Joseph wasn’t how he envisioned it, but God fulfilled the promise all the same! Pastor Jeff reminds you today that God has also promised that all will one day bow before Jesus, even Satan and his forces. So even though things may look bad right now in this world, you can rest in the assurance that God will have the final victory over evil!

Favoritism can sow seeds of destruction in a family. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff teaches you that Israel’s favoritism towards Joseph led his other sons to grow jealous of their younger brother. Their jealousy would fester to the point that the brothers sold Joseph into slavery. Now, maybe your unfavored family members aren’t planning anything that drastic, but showing favoritism can create fissures in the family relationship that will take years to heal, if they even heal at all.

When you go to the gym, it’s easy to pick up a small weight and exercise without giving your body any challenge. You won’t feel fatigued at the end of your workout, but you also won’t gain as many of the benefits of the exercise. But when you push yourself to lift a heavier load, your strength will increase as your body adapts to the new weight. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that listening to wise counsel is how you challenge your heart, to make it grow stronger and wiser, instead of opting for easy exercises.
