He had lost everything – even the shirt off his back – and was sold into slavery. How could that possibly have turned out well? Yet the Lord was with Joseph so that he prospered. And under his management, so did everything in his master’s household. The circumstances we find ourselves in may lead us to ask how things could possibly turn out well. But the Lord has made us managers or stewards of all that he has entrusted to us: our time, our skills, our finances. He blesses us with far more than we deserve and has in store for us far more than we could have ever imagined. Today, we look to our gracious God to learn about “Stewardship that Surpasses Expectations”. Our sermon comes from 2 Corinthians 8.
