We all have dreams, but sometimes the journey to reaching them feels full of challenges. In the Dream to Destiny series, Pastor Tom Cogle explores the Old Testament story of Joseph, a man who had a God-given dream but didn’t fulfill his destiny until 13 years later. In that time God took Joseph through the 10 character-building tests we all must face to reach our destinies. Along the way we’ll discover why we can trust our dreams to the One who gave them to us.

How can I know what my purpose is?
1. BELIEVE YOU HAVE A PURPOSE.
Everything that God created, He created for a purpose. Your designer had a purpose in mind for you when He designed you.
2. UNDERSTAND THAT GOD IS IN CONTROL.
God is in control of your life no matter what other people do. The only person who can stop your destiny from coming to pass is you!
3. DISCOVER YOUR GIFT AND YOUR DIRECTION.
God always gives you the gift you need to fulfill your purpose.
4. DETERMINE YOUR DIRECTION AND BE FAITHFUL.
No one can derail you except you.
· The Lord determines the direction.
· You determine how far you will go.
Figure out what the direction is and start heading in that direction. God will take care of all the details, because God is in control!
