    Joseph was a means to accomplishing God’s greater goal​ He didn’t “cash in” on God’s good graces and understood there was a purpose beyond him and his fate​ We don’t like to wait for anything in our society​ Whether it’s a line or ads, or something more like the right spouse or for God to…

    Joseph was vigilantly committed to a bigger role that God had in mind​ He also was committed to a forgiveness and reconciliation which was from God and not of this world​ Chapters Genesis 42-44 gives our context for today​ In Joseph’s reunion with his brothers, his identity is kept secret and he looks nothing like the boy they…

    Good Morning! As God’s people, we have many similarities to Daniel and his battle against sin and those who are slaves to it Daniel 4 Nebuchadnezzar, choose to force people to bow and worship the idol of himself. Daniel’s 3 friends chose to be consistently faithful before God, to His glory This even resulted in…

    Good Morning! Josh makes a good Jacob – praise God!
