Detour

“No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.” - 1 Corinthians 10:13 (ESV)

 

You thought you knew God’s Will, but then... things did not go as planned. Now, everything seems to be heading in the opposite direction of what you had expected.

Some walked away from God because of the detours in their lives. Others, like Joseph, drew closer to God.

God is the epic author of life, and He is using the ‘detour’ in your life to bring you to where you need to be.

In this segment of the Biblical Character Series—as we journey through Joseph’s life—learn how he was transformed by God and how God is transforming yours right now.

This interactive and life-changing seminar is for the hearts that seek to be transformed by God.

Make your choice to experience God’s divine intervention in your life!
