Bones and Birthdays: Faith for the Journey Ahead

In this episode of Coffee with the Superintendent, Dr. Jack Farmer reflects on the remarkable faith of Joseph in Hebrews 11:22, tying it back to the opening verses of Hebrews 11 and the covenant promise in Genesis 15. Through the lens of New Covenant theology, we discover how Joseph’s final request regarding his bones was a prophetic declaration of hope rooted in God's faithfulness. We explore how trials shaped Joseph’s faith, how his life foreshadows Christ, and what this means for us today as sojourners in a world not our home. In the Second Pour, we celebrate weekend birthdays across our community and begin our countdown to the start of the school year. With reminders about dress code updates, supply lists, and our upcoming Back-to-School Festival on August 16, this episode encourages hearts and stirs anticipation for the year ahead.
