    We often forget, but God never forgets about us.

    FORGETFUL? “But the wine steward never gave Joseph another thought – he forgot all about him” (Genesis 40: 23). Have you ever said to someone you would ring them, and didn’t? Has someone come to your mind and you’ve failed to make contact with them? Has someone done something for you and ...read more

    One of the most important investment that we could make in our lifetime is through developing our godly Christian character which is accomplished by patiently waiting upon the Lord to transform our hearts.

    CHARACTER TRANSFORMATION THROUGH WAITING Everyone has to go through the anxiety of waiting. We wait in line to pay our grocery bills. We wait in line to see the doctor.We wait in line to transact business at DMV. We wait in line to board an airplane. We wait in line to get our food during our ...read more

    If you have ever been abandoned and disappointed by other people, if you have ever felt forgotten by God, Genesis 40 has a word for you.

    (A few years ago, I called the IRS. I was really anxious to have them correct a mistake they’d made. They were saying I only had one daughter, when I knew perfectly well that I had two. In fact, the daughter they said didn’t exist was the one that was costing me the most money. All ...read more

    When you face an uncertain future, be certain that God is in control and that He cares for you; be certain that He will not forget the dream He has for you, nor will He forget you.

    There is a little church in Galena, Kansas, where it is customary for people celebrating birthdays to come to the front of the sanctuary. There, they give a special offering while the congregation sings “Happy Birthday.” On the other hand, if you’re a little shy, you can give ...read more

    From this episode in Joseph's life, we learn that God is always with us, God can help us grow through our suffering, and we learn that there is a better day coming.

    Introduction: A. Let’s begin with a statement that I think that all of us can agree on – “Life just isn’t fair!” 1. Can we all agree on that? 2. Do any of us need proof that life isn’t fair? 3. Look at this cartoon – “Life is unfair…for proof ...read more

    Waiting is difficult but it teaches us lessons that we cannot learn any other way. After he interpreted the dreams of Pharaoh's officials, Joseph thought that his time in prison would soon end. But God had more to teach him as he waits another two years

    Three weeks ago I suffered a ruptured biceps tendon. It did not hurt much at the time, but it required surgery and now a six week recovery. I have learned much during this time. I learned the importance of receiving. I am usually the one to take care of others in my family and even in ...read more

    Studies In Genesis: Chapter 40 Series

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 17, 2011
     | 5,664 views

    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 Genesis 39? So Joseph winds up in jail for a crime that he did not commit. This seems to be cruel and ...read more

    Sometimes we let our life-circumstances shift our focus away from God’s commands. Circumstances aren’t the prerequisite to letting God's Light shine. We can’t let others’ choices become an excuse for us, as-to-why we don’t let God’s light shine.

    The Injustices Of Life

     | 2,698 views

    Life can throw many hard things at us. We may even be tempted to let our hope in God fade. We want to scream, “Where is the justice?” As we move along a little further in Joseph's life God would want us to be encouraged that he will always see his children through.

    Today I want to talk about the injustices of life. Have you walked through a season when you couldn't seem to catch a break? Did you ever wonder if good days would ever return? Maybe you lost a job around the same time a loved one died. Or you were going through a painful divorce just as ...read more

    Joseph: A Dreamer In Prison Series

    Joseph did not need to wait until he was standing before Pharaoh and put in charge of the whole land. Faithfulness to God is always the right path. Joseph needed to trust God the whole time he was the forgotten prisoner. And he did!

    There are so many aspects to the story of Joseph. He is the favorite son of the Patriarch Jacob. His brothers burn with jealousy and hatred toward him because his ten older brothers know he is the favored one of his father. The special ornamented coat Jacob gave Joseph made that evident. The Joseph ...read more

    Is it possible that we could in some ways hinder God from fulfilling the promises that He made to us? This message will teach us what we should let go off to be partakers of God’s divine promises.

    We read in 2 Corinthians 9:8, “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:” (KJV) As we continue our meditations on the theme ‘God is able’ here are some lessons we learnt. 1. God is able to keep us ...read more
