Welcome to Grove Hill Church, where we dive deep into stories of faith and transformation. In this sermon, From Pit to Palace, we explore the incredible journey of Joseph, a biblical figure who went from being thrown into a pit to rising to the highest position in Egypt. Pastor Ridley Barron unpacks the lessons we can learn from Joseph's story of humility, faith, and unexpected promotion. Get ready to be inspired and encouraged as we navigate the twists and turns of Joseph's life and discover how God's hand was at work, even in the midst of adversity. Stay tuned for a powerful message that reminds us that no matter how deep the pit, God can still lead us to our palace.
