Monday’s thoughts
On Sunday the 13th we looked at “Joseph and his coat of many colors”.
On Sunday the 20th we will consider Joseph and the goat.
He has so irritated his brothers telling them that he was his father’s favorite and how he would eventually rule over them they took him out and threw him down a well and slaughtered a goat and put the blood of the goat on his coat of many colors.
Subsequently, Joseph was sold off into slavery in Egypt.
The sermon will look at what it means to be put in the bottom of a well. What do we do when he “hit the bottom” in life? How do we get out of the worst situations and thrive?
This sermon will address the issue of misfortune and tragedy. What was the worst day of your life and how did you cope with it? What resources do we have within and beyond us to keep reminding ourselves that we can survive and rise again?
