In this message, Pastor Shannon Coon explores the early story of Joseph from Genesis 37, focusing on the deep family dysfunction, betrayal, and the silence of God during difficult times. Through relatable storytelling and modern analogies, she reflects on the “bracketed space” between a dream and its fulfillment—a place many of us find ourselves in. Pastor Shannon reminds us that even when God feels absent, He is actively working behind the scenes, weaving our tangled lives into something beautiful. This message offers hope, perspective, and a powerful reminder that God’s promises are always greater than our problems.

In this sermon, Pastor Jason confronts the cultural lie of "us vs. them" and emphasizes the radically inclusive nature of the gospel. Drawing from Acts 10, he highlights how God's grace breaks through human categories, welcoming all people—regardless of background, beliefs, or appearance—into His family through faith in Jesus. The message challenges listeners to examine their own biases, urging them to embrace those they may see as outsiders and to become active carriers of the gospel. Through the story of Cornelius and Peter, we're reminded that God's Spirit moves in unexpected ways, and often calls us to uncomfortable, transformative obedience. You are invited to tear down walls, prefer the face of the other, and boldly say, “Send me, Lord.”
