November 14, 2021 • Pastor Jim Thomas • Genesis 46, Genesis 47, 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18

Don’t you just love a good reunion story? Do you ever wonder if God has a purpose when changes come flying at you like a speeding curveball and disrupt your life? Join Pastor Jim as he walks us through some major changes in the lives of Jacob and Joseph and then shows us what those events teach us about God and whether He can be trusted.

Genesis 48-50 - The End of the Beginnings and the Beginning of the Rest of the Story

November 21, 2021 • Pastor Jim Thomas • Genesis 48, Genesis 49, Genesis 50, Romans 3:23–24

How should we interpret the painful experiences of this life? Is there a way we can learn to forgive others as we have been forgiven by God? Join Pastor Jim as we come to the final chapters of Genesis and the Joseph narratives. While this is the end of the stories about the beginning, it is just the beginning of the rest of God’s redemption story!

Genesis 44-45 - The Road to Reconciliation

November 7, 2021 • Pastor Jim Thomas • Genesis 45, Genesis 44

Joseph’s brothers did not merely hurt his feelings; they kidnapped him, abused him, sold him into slavery, and in doing so, they thought they had signed his death warrant. What happened years later when they came face to face again in desperate need of Joseph’s mercy and kindness? And what can we learn from this dramatic story about finding our way towards the road to reconciliation if we have strained relationships? Join Pastor Jim as he unpacks gospel hope and practical help from Genesis 44-45.

The famine predicted in Genesis chapter 41 has to come to pass. Jacob’s 10 sons travel to Egypt to buy grain, not knowing they will soon meet their younger brother Joseph, who is second in command only to Pharaoh. What happens when they are reunited? Join Pastor Matt Pierson as he walks us through Genesis chapters 42-43 and we look at the forgiveness and reconciliation given to us through Christ.
