#401 A Joseph Moment: Lessons from an Ancient Partnership, the Church’s Current Opportunities and How to Steward the Moment

Due to the breakdown of the family, tighter government budgets, and positive legal developments, the church currently has a unique if not a once-in-a-generation opportunity to impact their communities and point to Jesus. Will we seize the moment? In this sermon, I draw lessons from the partnership between Pharaoh and Joseph, unpack the  current opportunity before the church, and explain practical ways church leaders and other committed Christians can steward this “Joseph Moment” in their communities.

Outline:

1. Government is God’s Idea.
2. God gave Joseph favor.
3. Joseph had authority.
4. God’s Glory and the Common Good.
5. A Joseph Moment or a Moses Moment.
