1. Don't Leave Without Me
Contributed on Sep 1, 2009
Just like Joseph was not left behind in Eqypt when Moses led Israel out, the bones of believers will also not be left behind at the Rapture.
Intro. How do I close out this series? I have attempted to go different directions as we see the last thing in the life of Joseph. We must not forget: When Daddy Changed - Joseph- raised by a changed man, he could face the future. Life took and Unexpected Turn - When his brothers sold him ...read more

2. When Failure Embraces The Forgiven
Contributed on Sep 1, 2009
After the death of Jacob, the brothers of Joseph expected judgment but received grace instead.
Intro. Again, I am looking at the life of Joseph from a practical side, not merely a type, though the pictures of Christ and God are so strong, that we cannot help but see the truths. Jacob changed, and that change apparently strengthened his son that was about to face the ultimate storm. ...read more

3. The Thrill Of The Reunion With The Son
Contributed on Sep 1, 2009
One day there will be a reunion in Heaven. Are we ready to see the Son like Jacob was looking forward to the reunion with Joseph?
The Thrill of the Reunion with the Son - Gen 45:25-28, 46:1-6, 28-30 Intro. Start with a thought I gave you last week. Imagine as Jacob looked back to that coat of many colors, the blood, and thought it was the death of his beloved son - but that coat was never what he thought it was! It was ...read more

4. Facing Yesterday
Contributed on Sep 3, 2009
Face the problems of your past so you can enjoy living in your tomorrows.
Intro. We began this series looking at the changes in the life of Jacob from which Joseph would benefit. Jacob, now Israel, became a godly man that trusted the Lord. Joseph would need that example. Then, Life took and Unexpected Turn when Joseph’s brothers sold him. In a few years, though a ...read more

5. From Prisoner To Prince
Contributed on Sep 3, 2009
Joseph went thru trials he didn’t understand so God could prepare him for something bigger. Sometimes trials we face are a result of God making us more like Him.
Intro. For the sake of time, I will not read the entire text. Remember, Joseph has been sold and scandalized. He was in the middle of a storm that was God’s plan for him. I. The Dedication - vs. 4 There are two imprisoned with Joseph. There may have been a conspiracy to kill ...read more

6. A Battle In The Midst Of The Storm
Contributed on Sep 7, 2009
When the storms of life come, we must realize that God will give us the grace to make it through.
Intro. We saw the change of a father, and then the attack of his own family. Joseph is in a storm that was the path God had for him, yet another attack was looming. An attack is not merely a threat of pain, or abuse. His brothers, those closest to him had attacked him. But now, an attack was ...read more

7. When Life Takes An Unexpected Turn
Contributed on Sep 7, 2009
When life takes an unexpected turn, will we trust God?
Intro. Last week we saw that Jacob’s life changed before Joseph was born. Joseph had been trained well by his father. Not the same could be said about the rest of the sons. Jacob had been very passive in the lives of Joseph’s older brothers, but apparently more involved in the life of Joseph. ...read more

8. When Daddy Changed
Contributed on Sep 7, 2009
Jacob’s change by God prepared Joseph to be able to face the trials that were coming.
Intro. Gen 30:24-25 The Birth of the Favorite Son! I want to begin a series on Joseph. But in doing so, I want to look at his very beginning as we journey into his life. To do that, we must begin with Jacob. Joseph was just a young man at this time. But Daddy was about to be changed ...read more
