The Testimony Of Judah

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 4, 2014

Judah finds both repentance, and amendment of life.

THE TESTIMONY OF JUDAH. Genesis 44:18-34. I have often wondered why the account of Joseph’s plight in Egypt is interrupted by a chapter about his half-brother Judah (Genesis 38). However, this part of the narrative (Genesis 37-50) is headed ‘the generations of Jacob’ (Genesis 37:2). The whole of ...read more

Part 1 of a series on Joseph.

If we were going to make a fashion catalog based on the descriptions of clothes we find in the Bible, how big do you suppose this catalog would be?

A Palace Praise From The Pit

Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Dec 15, 2014

The greatest prophecy of your life is hidden in your praise

Joseph was basically born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he was the son of his father's old age he was the apple of his father's eye. He really didn't have to work, he would just run errands for his father and check up on his brothers. Joseph wore a coat of many colors that identified him as the ...read more

Joseph's Precarious Path To 'providence'

Contributed by Paul Ray on Jul 22, 2013

please enter a brief summary Is there a once cherished dream that comes to mind? Between the dream dreampt, and the dream realized, life happens. Like Joseph, during the in-between time, we have the choice to be faithful or write the dream off.

Ugly Praise

Contributed by Gregory J Brice on Jul 22, 2013

Life has a way of bringing you down, BUT God WILL lift you up out of the pit that life throws you in. All you have to do is praise Him.

Joseph’s own brother Rueben was responsible for Joseph’s pit. It was Rueben that suggested they throw Joseph in the pit. We don’t know what happened but whatever it was; we know that Rueben was there when Joseph was thrown into the pit but he was not there when Joseph was lifted ...read more

When Things Go Wrong...

Contributed by Melvin Newland on Feb 16, 2020

In some ways it is rather amazing that Joseph, the son of Jacob, ever amounted to anything. It was obvious to his 10 older half-brothers that Joseph was “Daddy’s favorite.”

MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK TEXT: Genesis 37:1-28; Genesis 50:20 ILL. Years ago there was a TV show called “The Honeymooners”. Jackie Gleason was its star, & Art Carney played his best friend & neighbor, ...read more

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 10, 2020

Looking at some people's past, they should have never produced a Joseph. In our society, most people with Joseph's backgrounds are killers, jail birds, drunks, addicts, etc. But God’s Destiny on your life can be fulfilled even in the midst of thorns.

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 10, 2020

Detours come during Development, Disasters, Accidents, Protocol, Apprehension (Sifting, Dragnet), etc. God rarely takes us to our destiny in straight lines - He normally has some development that requires detours. Abraham's detour was 25 years, Jacob's was about 20 years, etc. And yours?

How Rooted Are You In God's Word? Series

Contributed by Alis Cerrahyan on Aug 13, 2019

Unfortunate circumstances cannot and should not define who we are. It's what we choose to do with them that determines the outcome. We either believe in God wholeheartedly or we don't. Even a tiny doubt can taint our faith in his supremacy.

It would be fair to say that the following statement is not even believable: "I've never encountered any hardships; nor have I known anyone with evil intentions!" If we are a part of this world, whether a child, an adolescent, or an adult; we have tasted dysfunctions somewhere along ...read more

The Pain Of Betrayal

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Aug 13, 2017

The story of Joseph is a story of betrayal by those closest to you. But it is also a story of how God will see you through, no matter what you face, and how God can bring good out of the worst possible situation.
