    The Test Of Power And Authority

     | 7,748 views

    Many times, we get hurt and we wanted to take revenge. But God reminds us through the story of Joseph that we have been placed by God in that position of authority for a greater purpose and that we must always manifest a humble heart.

    THE TEST OF POWER AND AUTHORITY Last week, we talked about the promotion of Joseph to the second highest in command of Egypt. He had been lifted up from the dark dungeon of despair to the palace of great responsibility, authority and power. It was a long process of waiting patiently and ...read more

    Oh the life of Joseph, Jacob’s son. This treasured story is found towards the end of the first book of the Bible, Genesis. Up to this point we have read about Joseph’s faithfulness and patience, even when he was persecuted and treated poorly. Even when he was left alone, disowned and ...read more

    True healing in our relationships begins when, in reliance upon God, we recognize our own sin with a remorse that leads to full repentance.

    Sometime ago, an ad appeared in a Kansas newspaper, which read: “We will oil your sewing machine and adjust the tension in your home for only $1. (Leadership, Fall 1986, p.46). Wouldn’t that be nice, getting a quick fix for the tension in our homes or in any of our relationships? As we all ...read more

    Studies In Genesis: Chapter 42 Series

    This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.

    Note: When doing a study on a book in the Bible you use a lot of resources. The major influence for me on this study of Genesis is The Genesis Record by Henry Morris.

    In this lesson we see the wrong way Joseph's brothers dealt with their guilt, and we learn the right way to handle guilt through God's remedy.

    Introduction: A. The story is told of a man who entered a high class restaurant, bought a drink and then immediately threw it into the waiter’s face. 1. Quickly grabbing a napkin, he helped the waiter dry his face while he apologized with great remorse. 2. “I'm so sorry,” he ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,787 views

    When we are in the pit do we remember what the Lord has spoken? God had spoken to Joseph and then he was thrown into a pit. Joseph stayed faithful to God through it all.

    Joseph Remembered What God Had Spoken Genesis 42:6-20 6 And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph’s brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth. 7 And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, ...read more

    Because the three G’s, grief, guilt, and grudge, will happen in our lives, are we clinging to the Big G, God, for answers?

Maybe you are struggling with all three; you are grieving, you have guilt, and you have a grudge! The message this morning provides an answer to all ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 17,873 views

    The story of Joseph is a story of betrayal by those closest to you. But it is also a story of how God will see you through, no matter what you face, and how God can bring good out of the worst possible situation.

    Genesis 37:2-4, 12-28 The Pain of Betrayal Boy, does it hurt when someone betrays you! As the anonymous saying goes, “The saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies.” We went through a painful experience in one of my churches. A small group was full of people ...read more

    Sometimes forgiveness and restoration can be a long, strenuous process. The damage from deep wrongs cannot be instantly repaired.

    The Long Path Toward Reconciliation (Genesis 42:1-38) 1. We try to communicate to women who have had abortions is that “God heals & forgives.” 2. When it comes to restoring our relationship with God, repentance and confession are the direction in which we should head. 3. But how about our ...read more

    Why is the "man of God" such a blessing to a home?

    Joseph’s Dad was the guy named Jacob. There are 7 whole chapters in Genesis that talk about him. Taking up this much Biblical real estate proves that Jacob was a significant “Dad” and “Forefather” of our faith. He is renowned for being one of the founders of Israel. The nation of Israel is ...read more

    God was at work in Joseph's life; but also his brothers. Ultimately God would make a nation out of the 12 tribes *(these boys) so ground work was being laid, even through the binding of Simeon (the lack of freedom) What do we learn about freedom through this event?

    Perhaps you’ve heard the story about our national bird; the eagle. Initially, Benjamin Franklin struggled with the idea of the eagle being our national bird. He wrote his daughter criticizing the selection of the eagle being the representative symbol of our national freedom; instead, he preferred ...read more
