Changing Your Altitude: How to Rise Above the Storm

Pastor Terry Drost delivers a powerful, faith-centered sermon titled 'Better Days Are Coming,' drawing from the story of Joseph in Genesis to illustrate how trials and suffering can lead to divine elevation and breakthrough. He emphasizes that dreams from God often attract resistance—symbolized by Joseph being thrown into a pit—and that adversity is not a sign of God's absence but a place where character is forged. Through Joseph’s journey—from betrayal and slavery to imprisonment and eventual rise to power—Drost teaches that hardship is a refining process, and that true faith is revealed not in prosperity but in perseverance. He highlights the importance of sowing in times of famine, both literally and spiritually, urging listeners to trust God with their resources even when they feel depleted. The message culminates in a personal invitation to write down personal burdens or debts on an envelope, symbolizing a faith-filled act of surrender and expectation for supernatural release. Drost closes with a heartfelt testimony of his father’s illness and recovery, reinforcing the theme that God’s goodness persists even in the darkest seasons.
