Blessed Beyond Recognition

In this powerful and reflective message, Pastor Harris unpacks the extraordinary moment when Joseph, once rejected by his brothers, now stands in a position of authority and blessing—so transformed that they no longer recognize him. “Blessed Beyond Recognition” invites us to examine what it looks like when God elevates us beyond the expectations of others—and even beyond what we once thought possible for ourselves. Pastor Harris walks us through four revealing truths that frame Joseph’s journey and reflect our own.

First, “My Presence Is Contrary To Your Presumption” reminds us that people often hold on to outdated views of who we used to be, even as God calls us into something new. Second, “My Placement Is Conflicting With Your Perspective” explores how divine positioning can disrupt limited viewpoints others may have about our purpose. Third, “My Positivity Is Contradictory To Our Perilous Past” highlights the spiritual maturity it takes to respond with grace and optimism, even when history says we should act otherwise. Finally, “My Promise Has Caught Up With My Prophecy” celebrates the moment when God’s word over our lives manifests—proof that delay is not denial. This sermon is a declaration that when God’s hand is on your life, He can bless you so completely, so fully, and so purposefully that even those closest to your past won’t recognize the fullness of your future.
