Sermon Short for August 13th, 2017
The Random Acts of Life

STA70284Genesis 45:1-15
Matthew 15:10-20

Do you get the feeling your life has gone off track – that you’ve somehow missed whatever plan you felt God has for you?

There are things we do. There are things done do us. Consider the story of Joseph found in Genesis 37-50. In despair, Joseph could have held his brothers’ abuse as an unfair tragedy. But there is a third player in all of our events – God. At the end Joseph states, “you intended to do harm to me, God intended it for good” (Ge. 50:20)

It’s not as though everything that happens is controlled and directed by a manipulative God. It’s more like God is amazingly resilient in his conviction to keep his people moving toward him despite our mistakes and foolishness.
