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.

Every person has a dream from God!
Every person has a destiny from God.
God has something that only you can do.
You will never have a larger destiny than your character can support. So God gives you tests to develop your character so you can fulfill your destiny.
Prosper – You help someone along the road. You see someone carrying a heavy burden and you help carry it for them. You get behind someone and push them forward.
1. THE KEY TO PROSPERING IS THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD.
2. THE KEY TO THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD IS OBEDIENCE.
3. THE KEY TO OBEDIENCE IS FAITH.
4. THE KEY TO FAITH IS HEARING THE WORD.
Joseph made it from the pit to the palace. He faced a most challenging test while in the palace. Joseph passed the palace test with flying colors. It wasn’t easy! But he proved it was doable.
