Journey Church with James Hilton

What do you do when life stops making sense, but God may still be working? In "This Doesn't Make Sense… But What If It's God? " Pastor James shows us how Joseph's story reminds us that God often starts something before we fully understand it. Dreams can face resistance, opposition can grow, and control can slip through our hands, but none of that cancels what God is doing. If God started it, He is still writing the story.
