Too often, we don’t do more for others because we just don’t believe it will make much difference. We’re just adding a “drop in the bucket” we say. Joseph may have had no idea how much he was changing history—but I’m glad he chose to risk and offer what
“Do for Others What They Cannot Do for Themselves” GENESIS 41 Joseph and Pharaoh Joseph was an inmate, until Pharaoh needed what he had to offer. Joseph moved from prisoner to prime minister in Egypt because he did for Pharaoh what the leader could not do for himself. His gift made him ...read more

4th sermon on the life of Joseph as inspired by the writings of Chuck Swindoll
For the most part our study of Joseph to this point has been rather sobering. Granted he was the favored son, but disappointment, abandonment, mistreatment, false accusations and slavery has since plagued his life. Last week we watched as he interpreted the dream of the cup bearer and knew for ...read more

Why should the unbelieving world believe the Christian? So often the Christian acts just like the world.
Why should the unbelieving world believe the Christian? So often the Christian acts just like the world. It is sometimes nearly impossible to distinguish between the two. You can read a newspaper or watch the news almost any day and you see people walking out of church and you know their character ...read more

Gos still uses people in incredible ways. He changes lives when we least expect it. He uses people and situations for His good.
The Apostle Paul writes in his letter to the Romans. Chapter 15 verse 4, “For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.” And hope is certainly what we find as we study the ...read more

Alas, the great, powerful pagan monarch Pharaoh found ‘none’ in his colossal palace to give him a piece of advice and interpret the dream for him among the plethora of magicians and wise men of Egypt!
Where is Joseph! Genesis 41:8”…..there was no one who could interpret them (the dream) for Pharaoh.” In the wee hours of this morning as I read the Bible, the above scripture caught my attention! Alas, the great, powerful pagan monarch Pharaoh found ‘none’ in his ...read more

Waiting is one of our greatest challenges. Our timetable is usually not the same as God's. God has a lot to teach us during our waiting periods. Let's see how God used the waiting period to grow Joseph.
Introduction: A. The story is told of a man who went shopping with his wife at a local department store. 1. They purchased a piece of luggage and a cooler. 2. As the man was waiting for his wife to finish the rest of her shopping he dragged the luggage and cooler with him to the shoe department ...read more

Joseph literally "inherited the earth" because of his attitude of meekness. But how did Joseph show meekness and how can we learn from his example?
OPEN: At one time, a man named Upton Dickson began a club called: “Dependent Order Of Really Meek And Timid Souls” When you make an acrostic of the first letters of its name, you have the word "Doormats." Dickson founded the society after he wrote a pamphlet called "Cower Power." The ...read more
Scripture: Genesis 41:1-49
This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.
Note: When doing a study on a book in the Bible you use a lot of resources. The major influence for me on this study of Genesis is The Genesis Record by Henry Morris. What happened in Chapter 40? At the end of chapter 40 where do we leave Joseph? Romans 5:3 And not only [so], but we glory in ...read more

Considering Joseph's meteoric climb from the pit to the palace, we look at how Joseph learnt to trust God in the midst of success

If the mad cows get loose in the life of a dreamer, they can kill the dream.
Genesis 41:1-4 KJV And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river. [2] And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow. [3] And, behold, seven other kine came up after them ...read more
Scripture: Genesis 41:1-4
Joseph languished in prison for two years after he thought he had a chance to get out. But when Pharaoh came calling suddenly he was ready to serve. So how do we keep "at the ready" when God comes to ask us to serve unexpectedly?
Verse 1 2 years passes after Joseph gives interpretation to the baker and butler. What must Joseph had thought. After it looked like God was making a way for him to get out of prison – the days were followed by weeks which were followed by months and years – and nothing. You’d think God had given ...read more
