	Waiting We live in a fast-paced world and grow impatient when we have to wait for something. In today's sermon, Joseph finds himself waiting while in prison.

God has a plan for your life that will be revealed at just the right time.

Through it all, they saw hopelessness when God saw hopefulness. It's all a matter of perspective.

By praying to the Lord, seeking the Lord, being honest with God, and remembering the promises of God. These encouraged Nehemiah and will encourage you.
	Heresies: The Holy Spirit Today we looked at the Holy Spirit and who He is according to Scripture. We saw that the Holy Spirit is a person not a force, He convicts of sin and evicts sin, He anoints and appoints, He reveals the truths of God and seals us for all eternity, and He revives us and thrives in our lives. The Holy Spirit gives us power to live the Chrisitan live and live godly lives in an ungodly world.
