In this sermon, we explore the transition from Jacob to Esau and then to the beginning of Joseph's story in Genesis chapters 36 and 37. We delve into the genealogy of Esau's descendants and the significance of the seemingly mundane list of names, revealing God's greater purpose and plan beyond our immediate circumstances. As we transition to Joseph's story, we are reminded that God is a big picture God, orchestrating events and guiding His people according to His divine plan, even when it's not immediately apparent to us.

Exploring Genesis 44, we uncover the transformation of Joseph's brothers from guilt to genuine repentance through orchestrated trials. Joseph's actions, mirroring God's pursuit of the wayward, lead his brothers to confront their past and seek mercy. This narrative invites us to consider our own responses to God's tests and the path to true repentance and restoration.

Now Have Returned

Exploring Genesis 43, we see Joseph's brothers tested for envy, selfishness, and greed, revealing their transformation over time. Israel's struggle with idolatry and Judah's redemptive offer highlight the importance of prioritizing God and embracing second chances. We're encouraged to identify and let go of our own idols, submit to God's will, and trust in His plans for our lives.

Shall Be Tested

Today's sermon focused on the tests we face in life, drawing parallels from the story of Joseph in Genesis 42. Joseph, now a powerful figure in Egypt, encounters his brothers who had sold him into slavery years earlier. Before revealing his identity, Joseph tests his brothers to see if they have changed. These tests are not just about honesty but also about character and repentance. The sermon emphasized that God is faithful in fulfilling His promises and that our responses to life's tests reveal our true character.
