  1. Servants & Stewards - Joseph: Rebuilding Trust

    4D AGO

    Servants & Stewards - Joseph: Rebuilding Trust

    Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Servants & Stewards series on Joseph. Every one of us has been hurt by someone — and if we're honest, we've hurt others too. We say things we wish we could take back. We show up when we shouldn't, or disappear when we're needed most. We break trust. We wound. And even after forgiveness is spoken, something deep inside still hesitates. Because forgiveness and trust aren't the same. Joseph knew that pain. He was beaten by his brothers, sold, forgotten, and left for dead. Then, decades later, he stood face to face with the very people who betrayed him. Imagine the tension in that moment. The ache. The question pounding in his heart: Can I trust them again? This story isn't just about Joseph. It's about us. Because every follower of Jesus eventually faces that same crossroads — when forgiving isn't the end, but the beginning of something harder: the slow work of rebuilding trust. And when it happens, when restoration finally breaks through… It's not just reconciliation between people. It's redemption in motion — a glimpse of the God who restores what we thought was gone forever.

  2. Servants & Stewards - Joseph: Reunion

    NOV 2

    Servants & Stewards - Joseph: Reunion

    Today, we have two messages from our teaching cohort. The first is with Andy Ross, followed by Jimmy Cleary. Both are excellent and continue our Servants & Stewards series on Joseph. Joseph's story has always felt larger than life, marked by betrayal, power, and forgiveness. But these two messages remind us it's not just ancient history… It's our story. Because every one of us knows what it's like to be hurt. To be misunderstood. To feel like the pain someone else caused might define us forever. Andy shows us that how we respond when people hurt us doesn't just shape today, but echoes for generations. And that forgiveness can break family patterns and set others free. Jimmy reminds us that even when guilt and shame threaten to crush us, our Judge — the same God who knows every hidden sin — still longs to give us life. As we step into these messages, remember: God isn't just telling Joseph's story, He's writing yours.
