What do you do when life throws you into a pit — when the people closest to you let you down, when your plans fall apart, and when you can’t see any way forward? In this first message of the Dreams and Detours series, Dr. Scott Wilson takes us to Genesis 37 and the opening chapter of one of the greatest stories ever told: the life of Joseph.
From a father’s favorite son to a slave headed to Egypt, Joseph’s journey begins with betrayal, heartbreak, and a pit he never saw coming. But running underneath the whole story is something his brothers never counted on — the sovereign hand of a God whose plans cannot be stopped, not even by the worst things people do to us.
If you’ve ever felt lost, betrayed, or stuck in a season that makes no sense, Joseph’s story is for you. God hadn’t forgotten him in that pit, and He hasn’t forgotten you either.
