Chapter 3: Sermon (Tina)

CHAPTER 3: THE STORY

Joseph: From Slavery to Deputy Pharaoh

Scripture review ... 

So…I think that 2 words summarize this chapter:  

Dysfunctional Family.  

Wouldn’t you agree?  

This chapter should make every one of us feel better about our own family of origin.  Let’s face it, no family is perfect and every one of us could probably tell stories about their family; about arguments and who’s not speaking to whom, about the crazy aunt or uncle – or maybe you ARE the crazy aunt or uncle that the rest of the family talks about!  

You could tell stories of cheating, lies, habits, addictions, secrets, and stories that would make the rest of our hairs stand on end.  But the thing is, we don’t tell those stories, do we?  We keep them tucked away in a safe place or we keep them swept under a rug, but we definitely don’t share them.

Getting Your Family on the Same Page

Just imagine if your WHOLE family was reading through God's amazing story of love for us. Together. All at the same time! With "The Story," you can do just that.

You can sit down with your spouse or your kids (or whoever you consider "family"--friends, neighbors, co-workers!) and read together.

Think together.
Ask questions together.
And pray together.

You'll learn things you never knew about each other before when you're on the same page--not just with the church, but also with your loved ones!
