Have you ever prayed, waited, stayed faithful—and wondered if God had forgotten you? Tonight we continue JOSEPH: Between the Dream & the Promise in Genesis 40 with a message called “Forgotten.” Joseph is still in prison. Yet instead of becoming consumed by his own pain, he notices the pain of others, continues serving, and faithfully uses what God has given him. Then, just when it seems like his opportunity for freedom has finally arrived, Scripture gives us a painful sentence: “Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.” — Genesis 40:23. Joseph would wait two more years.

Tonight we’ll discover how to remain faithful when nothing seems to be changing, why waiting doesn’t have to be wasted, and how to trust God when we don’t understand His timing. Keep caring. Keep serving. Keep trusting. Because being forgotten by people does not mean you have been forgotten by God.
