My Associate Pastor, Derek Adye, really preached an impressive and compelling sermon based on Joseph.- The Old Testament Joseph.
He spoke of how Joseph struggled after being sold into slavery by his brothers. He did well in many waty but felt that his not being with his family was torment. Derek mentioned that Joseph's comfort and strength was God's presence . He reveled in God being with him.
He ten talked about how people in torment, suffering and crisis are often given FIVE CENT answers to Billion Dollar Questions by caring and well-meaning Christian friends.
He then mentined some scriptures normally quoted at such times and flicked a nickel at the wooden floor each yime he uttered one of them- over all FIVE nickles hit the ground.
His strong take away- God's presence and God's daily moving in our lives , ultimately, matters more than any pat answer!
