JOSEPH: From Dreams To Dominion | In the Pit, But Not Abandoned

Pastor Lucas Miles continues the Joseph: From Dreams to Dominion series by walking through Genesis 40, highlighting Joseph’s faithfulness while imprisoned and how his life foreshadows the work of Christ. Though falsely accused and unjustly confined, Scripture reminds us that “the Lord was with Joseph,” not distantly, but personally and powerfully.

Even in the pit, Joseph accepts responsibility, walks in integrity, and carries the presence of God in a way that brings favor and opportunity. His leadership transforms the environment around him, revealing that God’s presence is not dependent on circumstance but on obedience and gratitude. When Joseph interprets the dreams of Pharaoh’s cupbearer and baker, he gives glory to God alone, trusting Him for wisdom and timing, even when Joseph himself is forgotten.

Pastor Lucas draws a striking parallel between Joseph in prison with two offenders and Jesus on the cross between two criminals. Where Joseph had to ask to be remembered, Jesus is the One who remembers, offering salvation to the repentant thief and eternal life through His finished work.

The message challenges believers to cultivate God’s presence through worship, gratitude, and faith, becoming people who are unshaken by offense, fear, or circumstance. Communion closes the service as a reminder of Christ’s real presence and the victory secured through His sacrifice.

Pastor Lucas’ wife, Krissy, concludes with a prophetic prayer, affirming God’s faithfulness over decades of ministry and declaring that greater fulfillment still lies ahead. The service ends with an invitation to salvation and prayer, calling the church to say yes to God’s purpose and responsibility with courage and trust.
