    These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Forty-Two. 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 FORTY-TWO OVERVIEW Overall what is happening in this chapter is that the brothers of Joseph go to Egypt to buy grain. Thomas Coke (1801) – Genesis 42 Jacob sends his sons into Egypt to buy corn, but keeps Benjamin at home. Joseph knows his brethren, though they know not him. He ...read more

    As we study the life of Joseph and compare it with the life of the church we will learn many important lessons. The Lord expects us as His children to grow in our knowledge of Him and to experience the riches of His glory through

    Let us look into 2 Corinthians 9:8, “Besides, God is able to make every blessing of yours overflow for you, so that in every situation you will always have all you need for any good work.” (ISV) As we continue our series of meditations based on the above mentioned verse, we realize that God alone ...read more

    The Test Of Power And Authority

    Contributed by Manny Salva Cruz on Aug 24, 2014
     | 8,873 views

    Many times, we get hurt and we wanted to take revenge. But God reminds us through the story of Joseph that we have been placed by God in that position of authority for a greater purpose and that we must always manifest a humble heart.

    THE TEST OF POWER AND AUTHORITY Last week, we talked about the promotion of Joseph to the second highest in command of Egypt. He had been lifted up from the dark dungeon of despair to the palace of great responsibility, authority and power. It was a long process of waiting patiently and ...read more

    True healing in our relationships begins when, in reliance upon God, we recognize our own sin with a remorse that leads to full repentance.

    Sometime ago, an ad appeared in a Kansas newspaper, which read: “We will oil your sewing machine and adjust the tension in your home for only $1. (Leadership, Fall 1986, p.46). Wouldn’t that be nice, getting a quick fix for the tension in our homes or in any of our relationships? As we all ...read more

    Studies In Genesis: Chapter 42 Series

    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. Purpose of Chapter: To show the leading of the Israelites into Egypt Title: The testing of character Text: Genesis 42 Main ...read more

    God's promises are just as much for us as they were for Joseph. His grace is still at work. His tender mercies accompany us from the pit to the pinnacle.

    Oh the life of Joseph, Jacob’s son. This treasured story is found towards the end of the first book of the Bible, Genesis. Up to this point we have read about Joseph’s faithfulness and patience, even when he was persecuted and treated poorly. Even when he was left alone, disowned and ...read more

     | 1,154 views

    There is much that we as a church can learn from the life of Joseph, and the relationship that Jacob his father had with him. While Joseph is just a shadow the reality is Jesus Christ, and our call today as members of the body of Christ is to grown in our relationship with Him.

    We continue our meditation based on 2 Corinthians 9:8, “Besides, God is able to make every blessing of yours overflow for you, so that in every situation you will always have all you need for any good work.” (ISV) Based on the above verse, we are learning the ways in which God will make us those ...read more

    Sermon # 42 - Rejection To Restoration Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 6, 2025

     | 374 views

    Rejection is painful, but interestingly those who are rejected by men are the ones whom God joyfully embraces to fulfill His plans and His purposes. The bible is full of examples of such people who though rejected by men were restored and honored by God.

    Today’s meditation is taken from Matthew 21:42, Jesus said to them, "Haven't you ever read what the Scriptures say? 'The stone which the builders rejected as worthless turned out to be the most important of all. This was done by the Lord; what a wonderful sight it is!' (GNB) There ...read more

    How often has God used circumstances, “Famines” to move us toward healing, repentance, or change?

    Last week, we spoke from Genesis 41 - where Joseph—once a slave and prisoner—had been lifted to second in command in the most powerful nation of the world. We know that Pharaoh tried to Egyptianize Joseph: he changed his name, clothed him in royal garments, married him into an Egyptian priestly ...read more
