Gathering 158: “JOSEPH: Beware the Brittle Spirit”

Published: Nov. 23, 2020, 11 p.m.

All of us have experienced a time of hardship and struggle, a time in which our spirits are low and brittle. The global pandemic of 2020 has equalized the playing field for all of us and left most of our spirits brittle. But at the same time, it has also manifested a spirit of hope through our shared stories of the struggle. Join us this week as we conclude our worship series, "JOSEPH." Explore with us the life and experiences of Joseph as written in Old Testament accounts and listen as ellie hutchison, our Member in Discernment, examines the power of story. Discover how Joseph, despite the challenges thrown his way, resisted a brittle spirit and chose redemption, compassion, and love instead. Understand your connection to the divine when you model Joseph's choice and resist having a brittle spirit.    Recorded live at Beatitudes Church in Phoenix, AZ on 11/13/20  Preaching: ellie hutchison, Member in Discernment  Scripture Reader: Janelle Tapphorn  Scripture Reference: Gen 47:13-26  Video Reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDl6iuku_mw     If you like what you hear, consider donating at:  https://www.beatitudeschurch.org/online-giving
