Current Series

All of us face times when life doesn’t go as planned. In those seasons, our trust in God’s goodness is tested. We need a resilient faith to not just survive these times but to come through them with a deeper relationship with God and a stronger love for people. The story of Joseph paints a compelling picture of a life centered in that kind of faith. Within the story, you’ll discover how tests and trials can lead you toward forgiveness, redemption, and hope. Join us for the next 6-weeks at Ward Church as we explore, “The Life of Joseph.”

  5. “Here comes that dreamer!” they said to each other. “Come now, let’s kill him and throw him into one of these cisterns and say that a ferocious animal devoured him. Then we’ll see what comes of his dreams.”  – Genesis 37:19-20
