From Series: "No Place Like Home"

Every family has a mess, and sooner or later, we all find ourselves somewhere we never expected to be. Joseph knew that feeling. Betrayed by his brothers, falsely accused, forgotten in prison, and far from home, his life looked nothing like the plan he imagined. Yet even when God’s plan didn’t seem to be working, God was. No Place Like Home is a sermon series through the life of Joseph. Together we’ll discover how to remain faithful when life isn’t fair, relationships are broken, and home feels far away. And we’ll find that no matter where we are, if God is with us, we are home.
