    Contributed by D Marion Clark on Oct 3, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,577 views

    The story of Joseph is the display of the providential power of God to to accomplish his good purposes. Let’s consider what teaches about us teaches about us, about God, and what it all means for us.

    Genesis 37:12-36 Evil Intent, Good Intent 10/2/16 D. Marion Clark Introduction “As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good.” So Joseph assuages the fears of his brothers after the death of Jacob, and so he articulates the providence of God.

    "What's On Your Bucket List?"

    Contributed by David Henderson on Nov 21, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,574 views

    We come to the life of this young man named Joseph. The Bible dedicates 14 chapters to this young man’s life and the dreams that he held. Now why do you think that is? Is Joseph more important than the creation of the universe? Clearly He is.

    What’s on your Bucket List? Genesis 37:15-19 In 2007 a film was released titled The Bucket List. The movie featured Jack Nicholson as a billionaire and Morgan Freeman as a car mechanic. They were complete strangers until they met by sharing the same hospital room. Both of them discovered ...read more

    You Can’t Keep A Good Man Down (Summer Of 2002)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 15, 2022
     | 1,614 views

    Joseph took this obstacle (being sold into slavery by his brothers) and turned it into an opportunity. He had every reason to be bitter and resentful. His attitude made all the difference.

    YOU CANNOT KEEP A GOOD MAN DOWN Text: Genesis 37:1-4, 12-28 "Ida Eisenhower, mother of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, was asked in an interview if she was proud of her son. She answered, "Yes, I am very proud. Which son?" (Robert H. Spain. How To Stay alive As Long ...read more

    It's Time To Get Up--Joseph Got Up Part 1

    Contributed by Rick Gillespie- Mobley on Jun 19, 2020
     | 5,647 views

    Joseph found himself in a number of unjust situations because his brothers envied the privileges of his multicolored coat. We need the dreams of Jesus to overcome racism and prejudice.

    It’s Time To Get Up—Joseph Got Up Genesis 37:12-36 Matthew 18:21-35 How many of you have asked that question, “Lord how many times should I forgive? How many times should I put up with this? How many times is enough”. Those are some of the questions that are being asked in our nation today. But ...read more

    Joseph was stirring up the anger of his brothers because he was a tattletale. Already the seeds of strife and discord are being sold between Joseph and his brothers with this bad report he brought about them.

     | 3,598 views

    There were 10 step-brothers, and they hated their step-brother. They stripped away Joseph's coat of many colors. They could not strip away the blessings. God replaced the coat of many colors with a new coat of authority and a ring of gold... the dreams came true.

    Joseph was thrown into a pit on two separate occasions. However, as a result of his faithfulness during those circumstances, he was delivered from the pain and drudgery of his pit experiences to go on and live in a palace!

    He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps. - King David(1) Do you ever feel like you’re in a deep, dark pit with no way out?

    These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Thirty-Seven. In his work, "What does every Bible chapter say..." John Hunt gives an overview of each chapter of the Bible. It is my intention to do the same thing here.

    GENESIS CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN OVERVIEW Overall what is happening in this chapter is that Joseph tells his dreams to his brothers who sell him into slavery. Thomas Coke (1801) – Genesis 37 Joseph relates his dreams to his brethren: they envy him; and, conspiring his death, first cast him into a ...read more

     | 2,442 views

    Peter could only do the impossible as long as he focused on Jesus instead of on his surroundings.

    As sometimes happens, this sermon took a turn I had not expected once I really got into it. Not a very big one, mind you, but I would up focusing on the gospel lesson instead of Paul’s letter to the Galatians. I do like, when I can, to tie the three lessons together, and these three seemed to be ...read more

    "When ‘bad Luck’ Knocks Us Down” Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 4, 2023
     | 1,998 views

    The story of Joseph being sold into slavery provides a compelling example of moments when it seems like "bad luck" has come our way when God may be up to something else.

    WHY DID THAT HAPPEN? There are moments when we feel like bad luck knocked us down. - We will get into the specifics that this passage details as we go through the sermon, but this is obviously a passage with some “just-so-happened” moments. - To use the common vernacular, someone might say, “Oh, ...read more
