The Daily + This Sunday at Immanuel
The good news that God gives more than we dare to hope for.
“And Israel said to Joseph, ‘I never expected to see your face; and behold, God has let me see your offspring also’” (Genesis 48:11).
How the goodness of God outstrips our best hopes! “I never expected” must be one of the most repeated phrases in heaven above. Nothing good is finally gone for those who hope in God. Israel receives back more than the son he lost; he holds in his arms the grandchildren he never imagined.
Who isn’t moved in heart looking back on this gracious event? But in looking back, we are also looking forward. The restoration of Israel’s son is a picture of the restored future awaiting all who hope in the resurrected Son of God. Looking to Him, let’s raise our expectations today. Our future is incredibly bright!

Groups will begin in September and space is limited. Join us for an interest lunch on Sunday, May 4 in Sadler chapel immediately following the second service. Sign up here.
