The Way Forward Week 3: Detours, Delays and the Goodness of God • Pastor Jonathan Hansen

Описание: What if the setbacks in your life aren’t signs of God’s absence—but evidence of His providence?

In this message, Pastor Jonathan walks through the story of Joseph to show how God works through detours, delays, and difficult seasons to accomplish His greater purposes. From betrayal and imprisonment to redemption and restoration, Joseph’s life reveals a powerful truth: the path from where we are to where God wants us to be is never a straight line.

This sermon introduces the idea of “50:20 vision” from Genesis 50:20, where Joseph tells his brothers, “You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good.” Even when life feels confusing or painful, God is still at work—quietly orchestrating every scene for our good and His glory.

Whether you’re walking through a season of uncertainty, feeling overlooked, or struggling to trust God in the middle of hardship, this message offers hope, perspective, and practical encouragement to see your story through the lens of God’s providence.

Key Scriptures:
Genesis 37, 39, 45, 50:20 • Ephesians 1:11 • James 1:13–17
