This week, Pastor Clay started a new message series about using our time, talent, and treasure to create a lasting legacy in our lives and in our church. One of the ways we do that is by investing in the next generation to ensure that the work we are doing propels us into a future with hope. When faced with the end of his life, Moses established his legacy by ensuring that God's people would not be without a leader. How can we leave a legacy by following Moses' example?

Scripture: Genesis 50:15-21, GNT
Series: Joseph: A Life of Character and Grace
Joseph's life story is so full of pits and valleys and sometimes leaves us wondering what could possibly happen next. But we have finally reached the end of the story. The economic policy he proposed to the nation of Egypt is running smoothly, but the famine spread farther than anyone could have imagined, just far enough to affect Joseph's family. When the brothers showed up back in the story, how would Joseph react? With character and grace, of course. How does his response inspire our own?

As life-changing as this is, this moment is Joseph's story is just that: a moment. There's so much left in his story. As we confirmed our freshmen during worship, they too experienced something life-changing, but it was only a moment in a much larger story of faithfulness. What have some milestones along your journey been?

Chastised, beaten, left for dead, wrongly accused, falsely imprisoned, trapped. This has been Joseph's story so far, and if you are ready for the story to change, you're going to have to keep waiting. What is Joseph supposed to do in the meantime? God is still with him and is presenting Joseph with opportunities to use his skills and talents while he waits. As we live our own lives and find ourselves waiting, God's going to do the same thing. How will we respond?
