Part 3: Into the Pit
Message
a. Embrace daily duties; trust bigger divine
purposes.
b. Challenges shape character; trust in blessings
ahead.
The pain of betrayal by someone close feels like a descent into darkness. (Gen. 37:18-20; Ps. 55:12-14; Mt 26:47-50; 27:5-7; Zech 11:12-13):
a. Seek healing and community support.
b. Jesus was betrayed for you, opening the way to
grace and forgiveness.
The pit is part of God's greater plan. (Gen. 37:28, 36; Gen. 50:20; Rom. 8:28):
a. Maintain faith; trusting God’s providence amid
life's challenges.
b. Adversity transforms us; fight for better
over bitter.
Choices made in life’s pits and mountain-tops have wide-ranging effects. (Gen 37:31-35; Esther 4:14; Josh 24:15):
a. Act with integrity; the impact transcends personal
life.
b. Decisions today affect future generations;
choose wisely.
