Producing Character In Chaos! (2 of 5)
Series: Beyond The Flannelgraph - Joseph
Pastor Chris Brown
Genesis 39:1-6

- Focus on the presence of God, not the presents of God.
Genesis 39:2-5, Proverbs 11:2, Psalm 51:17, 1 Peter 5:6-7, James 1:16-17, 1 Timothy 6:17

It will change your attitude of pride and arrogance to brokenness and

- Have faith in God for who He is, not what you see Him doing.
Genesis 39:2-3, 1 John 4:19, Galatians 2:20, 1 Peter 1:8-9, Philippians 3:7-11, Matthew 6:19-20

Joseph sought obedience for relationship, not prosperity.

- The best preparation for success in the future is to do what you're doing now, but do it well.
Genesis 39:5, 1 Samuel 17:32-37, 2 Chronicles 16:9, Ecclesiastes 9:10
