Goodwood Church Sermon

Joshua Fowler
At Goodwood we are an autonomous Restoration Movement church seeking to advance the Kingdom of God into the culture.
Joseph; Restoration
God used Joseph’s heartache and pain to preserve the nation of Israel, as well as to save the lives of many others during a period of great famine. Your suffering can bring glory to God and help others who are experiencing difficult circumstances.

Joseph; Transformed and Restored
The story of Joseph demonstrates that even though people plot evil against us, God can take pain, woundings, and hardships of life, and use them for a greater good. Although God does not cause evil, he uses the momentary hardships, challenges, and pains we experience in life as opportunities to grow us as followers of Jesus with the promise of future restoration.

Joseph; Forgiveness
As Joseph is reunited with his brothers, he makes a choice to forgive them for the pain and wrongdoing they caused him. We are to forgive others just as God has forgiven us; however, it is vital we understand what forgiveness is not and what forgiveness is.

Joseph; Overcomer
As Joseph faithfully serves his new master, temptation comes against him. Yet Joseph overcomes the temptation to sin. As we all battle temptations, we must remember that God is with us and that he faithfully sets limits on our temptation and makes provision for us to overcome.

Joseph; Betrayal and Faithfulness
Joseph’s brothers, consumed with anger and resentment, sell Joseph to slavetraders heading to Egypt. Yet despite these horrific events, God is with Jacob and grants him favor in Egypt. When tragedy strikes our lives, we often struggle with two questions: Does God truly cares about us? and Has God abandoned us? The story of Joseph reminds us that God is always with us, and we can live faithfully to God in all circumstances.

Joseph: Playing Favorites
As the story of Joseph begins, all of the characters struggle with different sinful attitudes, such as partiality, favoritism, selfish pride, superiority, resentment, and hatred, and we witness the horrific impact these attitudes have on people. Our various sinful attitudes toward others are incompatible with the kingdom of God; rather, we are to love one another, walk in humility, put off bitterness and resentment, and extend grace and acceptance to others, especially the marginalized and the outcast.

Masterpiece in Progress; Purity
God calls us to shine as light in the darkness. We need to live wisely, rejecting what displeases the Lord and embracing what pleases him.

Masterpiece in Progress; Transformed
God gives us access to a new attitude and a new way of life. We must guard our thoughts and words because they determine our heart’s attitude and, therefore, our choices.

Masterpiece in Progress; Maturity
God calls us to grow so that we can use our gifts for his glory. Our maturity is measured not by our gifts but by how we love God and love others.
