At different times, he was an abandoned brother, a slave, an accused rapist, a prisoner, and Pharaoh's right-hand man. Yet he handled all of these situations confident in the knowledge that God was with him. At every turn, Joseph had opportunities to blame or ignore God, but his faith never wavered. In this 3-part series, Andy Stanley examines how Joseph responded to being abandoned and imprisoned and how he reacted at the height of his success when an opportunity for revenge arrived on his doorstep. By studying Joseph's turbulent life, we learn the power of unwavering faith in the midst of the most trying circumstances. Featuring a hilarious take on the major events of Joseph's life, this series will entertain and inspire you. en-us Sun, 7 Jan 2007 22:51:00 EDT Mon, 2 Nov 2009 14:38:00 EDT podcasts@northpoint.org podcasts@northpoint.org Andy Stanley no Andy Stanley 39:02 How do you respond when those who have hurt you are now at your mercy? As Joseph’s story concludes, we find him in a position to take revenge against his brothers. Yet his example teaches that forgiveness isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a sign of strength. Instead of looking back, Joseph chose to look up.

In fact, wealth and prosperity erode faith far more than poverty and need. Andy Stanley reveals Joseph as a perfect example of a man who lived every day believing God was with him.

Yet, through all of his incredible struggles and conflicts, Joseph trusted God to provide. In part one, Andy Stanley examines Joseph's amazing reaction to his unbelievable circumstances. And he asks the question, "What would you do if you were absolutely confident God was with you?"

The message of Christ is simple. Yet, in this message, Andy claims that few followers of Christ know how to present the gospel in an understandable way. Listen as Andy shares an easy way to "fish for men."

In this message, Andy Stanley asks: Why should we try to convince people they need to be followers of Jesus—don’t they intuitively understand Christianity? He helps us find the answer to this question.

But what is it that influences direction? What is it that starts us on our course, either for the places we want to go or the destinations we'd rather avoid? If we could determine what this is, then we could change our course upstream and save ourselves a lot of time, money, and heartache. Discover what this is and how you leverage it to reach the destinations God desires for you.

Most people would likely agree that having the right information is crucial to making decisions. But while information is very important, it is not the most critical factor in guaranteeing you make the right choice. In fact, if you think about it, you know some really smart people who have made really dumb decisions. So what is it? In this message we'll look at something that is even more important than information when it comes to choosing your path.

And looking back we saw the warning signs. We just chose to ignore them. But it doesn't have to be that way. By looking back at an old wise saying we'll learn to look ahead and avoid the danger that lies in wait for us down the road.

You had your destination in mind. You had every intention of getting there. But you took the wrong path, and you didn't end up where you wanted to be. A disconnect often occurs between the path you choose and where you want to end up. This is the principle of the path and we'll discover how it impacts every area of your life.
