    The Test Of Power And Authority

     | 8,847 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

    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

    Life has a tendency to dash our dreams and imprison our hopes. We can face different types of traps: Metal bars? Mental bars? Joseph had a dream? Now what? The well? Slave market? Auction? Potiphar? Prison? Forgotten? Nothing could stop God's plan.

    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. Taking up this much Biblical real estate proves that Jacob was a significant “Dad” and “Forefather” of our faith. He is renowned for being one of the founders of Israel. The nation of Israel is ...read more

    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

    The next to last chapters of Jacob's life are like a quiet period between his arrival in Hebron and his final earthly journey to Egypt. He endured several things but there is no record he ever lost his faith.

    Introduction: After Jacob and his household returned to Hebron (Gen. 35:27), he seemed to settle down to a life of farming and ranching. Isaac, his father, had died; he was at peace with his brother Esau; and it seemed all would be going well for him in his twilight years. But several things were ...read more

     | 6,985 views

    Joseph was separated from his family at the age of 17 not because of war, but because of the wicked jealousy of his own brothers. In their jealousy they sold Joseph into slavery and presented his ornamented coat to their father. God used this for his purposes.

    A popular television feature is to find a situation where a family has been separated because of war or some tragedy. The show does research to find out where the missing family members are. Then they reunite the family on television. It certainly makes for a moving experience with tears and ...read more
