The Series on Leadership - Joseph's Leadership Lessons
Speaker Notes
Genesis 50:18-20
18 His brothers then came and threw themselves down before him. “We are your slaves,” they said.
19 But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God? 20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.
James 1:2-4
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
With God, Things are not always what they seem
Leadership Lessons from Joseph:
God-given dreams are often delayed, but never wasted
Go'd’s favor never exempts us from trials in life
Character often costs in the short run, but pays in the long run
The job that you have today always shapes you for the one tomorrow
God’s Purposes always trump personal preferences and our personal vendettas
