Goshen

Joseph relocates his family to Goshen, where they are provided with all they need in spite of the famine. His care for them perfectly parallels how God provides for us, daily supplying for our needs. However, despite His constant care, we may still encounter times of spiritual drought or famine. Join us for session twelve as we discover where to turn when we need spiritual nourishment and how to ensure that we have deep spiritual roots that can weather the spiritual famines of our lives.
