Rock Women | Upright

As a slave in Potipher's house, Joseph is granted favor. Potipher's wife notices him and forces Joseph to make a decision. Will he lie with her, or will he choose to deny her request and be upright before the Lord instead? Like Joseph, our actions reflect whether or not we revere the Lord and display the strength of our character when faced with temptation. Join us for session four as we discover how the fear of the Lord results in a life that mirrors His righteousness.
