Part 1 | When Life Doesn’t Go As Planned

Joseph | Finding Purpose During My Pain
4/12/2026 | Mark Hartman

Message Summary

Life doesn’t always go the way we planned. What starts with purpose and promise can quickly turn into confusion, disappointment, and unexpected pain. This message reminds us that even when life feels off track, God is still working behind the scenes. In Genesis 37, we see that Joseph was created with purpose, given a vision, and then immediately faced betrayal and hardship. But God’s plan was never interrupted—only unfolding. When life doesn’t go as planned, God invites us to trust His sovereignty and continue walking in character and faith.
