WEEKLY MESSAGE

---

Sept 21 continued "The Story", Pastor Andrea's chronological account of the Bible. Week 3 is the story of Joseph. (Think of Joseph and the rcent musical: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.) Pastor Andrea asked "What do we dream of today." Are your dreams still big? God invites us to keep dreaming. Joseph was a dreamer, and while imprisoned by Pharoah, helped Pharoah to interpret his own dreams. In the first one, God helps Joseph advise Pharoah to prepare for a 7 year famine, and everyone respected Joseph. Later, when Joseph's interpretations proved less successful, he continued to dream.

Lately our dreams are coming into conflict with each other. We need to remember to bring God's dream to the world. Let's not judge but let God to be in us as the son is in the father. Jesus, though in the form of God, became obedient even in the form of his death.
