Classroom of Faith - Joseph | Andy Elmes | 30th November 2025

Ps Andy continues speaking in his Classroom of Faith series but moves away from looking at Abraham & Sarah (even though he admits there are moany more lessons to be leant there). This week, he looks specifically at the story of Joseph in the Old Testament. Ps Andy takes us on a tour of the story of Joseph, his sons, his multi coloured coat and life full of dreams, Pit, Potiphar, accusation, prison, waiting, appointment then palace, more dreams and eventual fulfilment!

Ps Andy then summarises the life of Joseph with ten learning lessons of faith.....

• Faith starts with a God given dream
• Faith trusts God when people fail you
• Faith refuses to let circumstance define identity
• Faith stays faithful in unfair places
• Faith chooses integrity over opportunity
• Faith trusts God in delays and silence
• Faith serves others even while waiting on its own breakthrough
• Faith believes that God can change everything in a moment
• Faith recognises that promotion comes from god, not people
• Faith sees God’s hand in every chapter – even the painful ones

Every point here which comes from the story of Joseph equally well reflects into our own lives!
