The Flip Side of Favor

In this sermon on Genesis 37, Pastor Vecente explores the reality that favor from God often comes with a flip side—unexpected friction, adversity, and rejection. Using Joseph’s story, we learn that obedience to God’s assignments can lead us into places of pain, even when we are simply doing what is right. The message reminds us that favor does not exempt us from suffering, but it does require faithfulness in hostile and uncertain environments. Ultimately, Joseph's journey teaches us that God’s purpose is still at work, even when favor places us in uncomfortable, unfair, or painful situations.
