Sharing Without FearPeter and John were arrested for talking about Jesus. They were given an ultimatum by the Sanhedrin to stop.

From being the favorite son, to the bottom of a pit, to life as a slave, to prison and eventually to the palace of Pharaoh; Joseph's life is full of ups and downs. Through all of them, "God was with Joseph." His story is a reminder of God's faithfulness. Our stories can be too.

From the Pit to the PalaceAfter continuing to do the right thing, Joseph finds himself in prison. Even there he is given responsibility because of his good character. This incredibly difficult path will lead him through God's power to being second to only Pharoah in Egypt. God can still work in our struggles in ways that we cannot even imagine.
