    Contributed by Perry Fowler on Jun 14, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,114 views

    Why is the "man of God" such a blessing to a home?

    Joseph’s Dad was the guy named Jacob. There are 7 whole chapters in Genesis that talk about him.

     | 2,418 views

    God was at work in Joseph's life; but also his brothers. Ultimately God would make a nation out of the 12 tribes *(these boys) so ground work was being laid, even through the binding of Simeon (the lack of freedom) What do we learn about freedom through this event?

    Perhaps you’ve heard the story about our national bird; the eagle. Initially, Benjamin Franklin struggled with the idea of the eagle being our national bird.

    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

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on May 1, 2024
     | 1,121 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

     | 1,659 views

    Reuben had a great destiny as the firstborn of Jacob, but his moral failure and instability led to his downfall. His life teaches us that position alone does not determine greatness—it is character, self-control, and responsibility that shape our destiny.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Genesis 29:32 – “And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the Lord hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.” Supporting Texts: Genesis ...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

    The Stirring Of The Guilty Conscience

    Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 14, 2026
     | 340 views

    One of the major reasons for the 7 years of famine on the ancient world was to bring Joseph's brothers to him. God used it and Joseph's testings to stir their guilty consciences and bring them to repentance. Is God causing a famine in our lives?

    THE STIRRING OF THE GUILTY CONSCIENCE Gen. 42:21 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. There are always two ways to look at something. 2. A young boy, Jayden, came into the house covered with mud after finishing a rough day of play. "Mom," he shouted at the top of his voice, "if I fell out ...read more
