Genesis 33 continues the story about the crisis Jacob was facing. After Jacob had spent time wrestling with God he was about to face his brother who wanted to kill him the last time they were together. Instead of manipulating the events of his life, he enters into this situation with courage & humility because he had been changed by God upon surrendering.

Healing Happens In Phases
May 15, 2024 • Pastor Jeff Cramer
The story line is tapering down in Genesis, but healing is still needed in the family among the Patriarchs before the next sequence of history surfaces. Famine is happening, Josephs brothers come to Egypt for food & return home. But Simeon is held in prison until the youngest brother Benjamin is brought back. Their father, Jacob, still back at home is mad at his sons.
God Spoke To You

Joseph’s is about 39-yrs old in this chapter. He’s had no contact with any of his family since they sold him into slavery. Now he’s married & has two boys. Plus he’s the 2nd most powerful man in Egypt during a famine & people are hungry! So Jacob, Joseph’s dad, sends 10 of his sons to Egypt to buy grain. The journey is about 265-miles from Canaan to Egypt thru a wilderness of desert land. Now Joseph stands face to face with his brothers who betrayed him, but how does he respond?
I Had A Dream
May 1, 2024 • Pastor Jeff Cramer
As we continue to move forward in our study of the Bible we see the bigger purpose of Joseph’s life take shape. Finally, victory comes after more than a decade of difficulty. About 10-years earlier… in (Gen. 37:5)… “Joseph had a dream…” and he told it to his family but they hated him for it! Tonight in chapters 40 and 41 we see three other dreams occur. The butler, baker and Pharaoh each had a significant dream.
