CHURCH WIDE ADVENT STUDY!
“Faithful: Christmas Through the Eyes of Joseph,” by Adam Hamilton
Through this study, we will explore how Joseph’s story is much like our own. In life, we encounter circumstances that we would never have chosen for ourselves. At times it can be tempting just to walk away. Joseph provides us a great example of humbly obeying God even when we don’t understand and faithfully moving forward in the strength that God provides.
