First Cary UMC's First on Chatham Sermon – Rev. Ben Alexander – July 13, 2025

Scripture: Genesis 37:12-34

After a plot to end his life, Joseph is thrown into an empty pit with no water by his brothers - and the story doesn’t get easier from there. A story that includes betrayal and pain, how does Joseph learn to tell the truth without losing hope? As we lean into Joseph’s Journey, might we wonder about the steadfastness of stubborn hope as we live in the tension of stories that haven’t fully healed.
