Cup of Hope: Truth: History Repeats Itself

May 13, 2022 • Stephanie Winslow • Genesis 26, Genesis 26:1–11

I can only imagine that the story-telling of Abraham telling Pharaoh and Abimelech that Sarah was his sister made it through the camp. I can imagine Sarah even complaining to her maid-servants that Moses made her tell others she was his sister. Do you think Isaac would have known these stories? Or maybe it was even a lesson he was taught -for their own protection, of course- as they were venturing from place to place to the promised land.

Open your Bibles and turn to Genesis 26:1-11 and be filled up full to overflowing with God's great promise of Hope as we unpack this story of Isaac repeating history as he uses the same lie to protect himself and his family.

Cup of Hope: Truth: Intent to Harm

May 25, 2022 • Stephanie Winslow • Genesis 37:17–33

In the story of Joseph we meet his brothers who are so jealous of him it drives them to sell Joseph into slavery and then deceived their dad, making up a story about Joseph being mauled by a wild animal. This deception comes back to haunt them years later as they meet Joseph face to face in their greatest desperation - food - and Joseph is the one who holds their future in his hands. We see Joseph, one who could have allowed bitterness to be planted deep into his soul rise to the occasion allowing God to be glorified and trusting that God had a plan all along - to save his family from the famine. Read with me and let's study together the brothers intent to harm Joseph, yet how God used it for good! Genesis 37:17-33 Cup of Hope: A gulp of God's word to plant seeds of greater faith and hope.
