Standing Firm and Maintaining Limits Under Pressure

Jul 28, 2024    Pastor Deveraux Hubbard

Pastor Hub encourages us to stand firm in our values, trust in God's presence, and understand that maintaining our boundaries, even in the face of adversity, is essential for our well-being and spiritual health.


In Week 4 of the "Standing Firm" series, we focus is on maintaining personal boundaries under pressure, exemplified by Joseph's story in Genesis 39:6-12. Joseph, sold into slavery and serving in Potiphar's household, was faced with persistent temptation from Potiphar's wife. Despite her advances, Joseph upheld his integrity and refused to compromise his values, stating his loyalty to Potiphar and his commitment to God.


In this sermon, Pastor Hub highlights the importance of setting clear personal boundaries based on your core beliefs and values, communicating them effectively, and consistently reinforcing them through actions. Even when falsely accused and imprisoned due to his adherence to these boundaries, Joseph's unwavering faith and integrity ultimately led to God's favor and blessings.
