God Meant It for Good, Pt. 4
Forgiving wrongs done to us, shedding that weight of unforgiveness, can transform our lives, says Pastor Donnie Johnson in this final part of his 4-week study of the life of Joseph. Just how God meant Joseph's extreme trials and suffering for good becomes obvious to us, just as it did to Joseph some 22 years after his brothers sold him into slavery. When Joseph finally sees them face-to-face, he had the power to punish them for their sin against him ... but instead he offers forgiveness and mercy. Sound familiar? Recorded at Liferoads Church on Sunday, December 3, 2023, in Spokane, Washington.

God Meant It for Good, Pt. 3

Recorded at Liferoads Church in Spokane, Washington, on Sunday, November 26, 2023.

God Meant It for Good, Pt. 2
Do you tend to run toward or away from God when suffering comes into your life? Pastor Donnie Johnson looks at how, in Genesis chapter 39, God was with Joseph during his many trials and suffering as a slave in Egypt, and though Joseph couldn't have known the specifics of how God would bring good out of terrible circumstances, He did ... good for Joseph and many thousands of people. And God always will bring good out of suffering for His children.
Genesis 39:1-23 Liferoads Church 2023
God Meant It for Good, Pt. 1
"God Meant it For Good." These words come from the powerful story of Joseph recorded in the Book of Genesis, the focus of our new Sunday series. Here Pastor Donnie Johnson introduces Joseph in part one, and begins to address some of life's biggest questions, that were faced by Joseph and are asked by many people today, including: Where is God when we are suffering? Why doesn't God stop our suffering? How can we forgive those who have hurt us? Recorded on Sunday, November 12, 2023, at Liferoads Church in Spokane, Washington.
