We'll See God - We'll See God, Part 1 — Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram Daily Podcast

About this Episode

Whether we mean to or not, we often think of God as a fast food restaurant, where we place our order and expect God to give us what we want quickly. However, in this program, our guest teacher, Gregg Dedrick, challenges that flawed perspective of God’s character. Join us to get a clearer picture of our Heavenly Father as we study the life and faith of Joseph from Genesis chapter 37.

Main Points Joseph’s journey:

Dream fulfillment stage 1: The pit
Dream fulfillment stage 2: Potiphar's house
Dream fulfillment stage 3: Prison

What do we learn from Joseph?

Joseph had to wait because he wasn’t ready for his destiny.
Joseph’s faith had to be tested to trust God’s faithfulness through everything.
The pit, Potiphar’s house, and prison can either be the end of the journey or the preparation for the main event.

God is the God of the process. -Romans 5:3-5

It’s our test and our trials that produce the growth. -James 1:2-4

How do we grow in our faith?

Gain God’s perspective
Tests and trials
Surrender

Are you contending for God’s purposes in your life? Are you pursuing in faith your destiny, whether you’re in the pit, Potiphar’s house, or prison?
