Walking in Your Dream

This powerful message takes us deep into the journey of Joseph, a seventeen-year-old dreamer whose colorful coat symbolized something we all possess—the God-given ability to imagine and dream beyond our current circumstances. We discover that our dreams aren't just personal ambitions; they're divinely connected to our destiny and purpose in transforming the world. The sermon walks us through Joseph's brutal reality: being thrown into a pit, sold into slavery, falsely accused, and imprisoned—yet through it all, maintaining an attitude of 'here am I' that positioned him to eventually save nations from famine. The central revelation is striking: the path to our dreams isn't glamorous or fair, but requires us to work diligently wherever we're placed, maintain moral integrity when temptation comes daily, and refuse to quit our relationship with God even when circumstances scream injustice. We're challenged to lift our eyes and notice opportunities around us, to serve others' dreams as a pathway to our own fulfillment, and to understand that sometimes God's 'up' looks like the world's 'down.' The cost of a life of adventure versus mediocrity is the same—it's our one life—so we're called to dream in color, work with excellence even in prison-like circumstances, and trust that cream always rises to the top when we remain faithful to the vision God has placed within us.
