This sermon, drawing from the story of Joseph, explains that God uses our experiences of hardship and suffering to work His ultimate plan of redemption and save others.

This sermon challenges a transactional view of God by proposing that greater need reveals God's greater sufficiency, a truth demonstrated by Moses's encounter with the holy and compassionate God at the burning bush.
