    If we want to overcome our fears, then we must always remember: God is faithful and we are forgiven.

    In an issue of the AARP Bulletin, readers were asked to respond to the question: What’s your strategy for coping with stress? The answers ranged from “eat a chocolate chip cookie” to “have a stiff drink.” But Don Betz of Oakdale, Minnesota, offered his own unique solution. Every January 1st, ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,580 views

    Generational Conflict is not new. We learn from the Joseph story that Humility from the Old will encourage the young to accomplish great things, and Respect from the young will provide honor that is due to their seniors.

    An article in “Christianity Today” suggests that many churches have become segregated - not by race, but by age. Mollie Hemmingway writes about a newly started church that meets in a movie theater. All of the attenders are under 30. They are single, professional, independent and hip. ...read more

    Reactions To Famine Time Series

    Contributed by Greg Powell on Mar 5, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,038 views

    God is beginning to break the hearts and stir the consciences of Jacob and his sons. While still in the middle of the famine, we can learn much from their wrong reactions to the famine and the sin that was a very real part of their lives

    INTRO: Last week, we saw that God was using the worldwide famine to awaken the seared consciences of the sons of Jacob. They expressed a certain amount of remorse at what they had done to Joseph 20 years earlier, and started to wonder if God was punishing them for the dirty deed done so long ago. ...read more

    God disciplines Christians when they mess up not to punish them but to reveal the awesome glory of Christ!

    God reveals Himself to people in mysterious and powerful ways. And do you know what God’s desire is for people? God’s desire is to bless people, make them holy, and daily walk with Him. Ever since Creation this is God’s desire for people! God chose the People of Israel, descendants of Abraham, to ...read more

    The Life Of Joseph - Part 5 Series

     | 5,656 views

    God created us to walk with Him, to trust Him, and believe in Him, just like the life of Joseph.

    We can picture Joseph wearing that elegant Egyptian headdress he probably wore. We can picture him as he was living the lifestyle of an Egyptian, which he certainly lived. We can picture him in the court of the Pharaoh, second in command to the most powerful man on earth. Joseph was given this ...read more

    Studies In Genesis: Chapter 43 Series

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 18, 2011

     | 5,338 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. Theme: Joseph meets with his brothers including Benjamin Title: The Second Trip to Egypt Text: Genesis 43 Genesis 43:1. And the ...read more

    Joseph And Benjamin. Series

    Contributed by Claude Alexander on Oct 22, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,425 views

    We find that in 43:1-14 Jacob tell his sons to go back to Egypt and buy a “little grain” as their stocks are almost over. The sons refuse to get back unless Benjamin is with them.

    Joseph and Benjamin. Genesis 43:1-34 Chapter 43 of Genesis serves at least two functions. First, it reveals the fears of Jacob and his sons to be entirely groundless. The best that these men could hope for was the release of Simeon and their safe return. (verse 14). Little did these men know ...read more

    From Famine To Feasting

    based on 1 rating
     | 10,930 views

    For many Christians, there is a famine for God's Word that can easily affect their ability to face their problems. But it is possible to have spiritual feasting in the insurmountable riches of Christ. Let us learn from these characters from Genesis.

    FROM FAMINE TO FEASTING Text: GENESIS 43:1, 16, 31 Genesis 43: 1 "Now the famine was still severe in the land." Genesis 43: 16 When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the steward of his house, “Take these men to my house, slaughter an animal and prepare a meal; they are to eat with ...read more

    Just a few years ago, The Onion published a satirical story about a man who almost had fun: Marshall Platt, 34, came tantalizingly close to kicking back and having a good time while attending a friend's barbeque last night before remembering each and every one of his professional and personal ...read more

    Character Study Of Judah Series

     | 215 views

    Judah’s life is a powerful testimony of transformation. Though he made many mistakes, his willingness to repent and take responsibility led to his rise as a leader. His story is a reminder that our past does not define our future if we are willing to change and walk in obedience to God.

    CHARACTER STUDY OF JUDAH – ANCESTOR OF JESUS CHRIST By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Genesis 29:35 – “And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the Lord: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing.” Supporting Texts: Genesis 37:26-27, Genesis 38:1-30, ...read more

    These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Forty-Three. 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-THREE OVERVIEW Overall what is happening in this chapter is that the brothers of Joseph, after using up the grain which they had purchased, returned to Egypt again. Thomas Coke (1801) – Genesis 43 Jacob, overcome by the entreaty of his sons, delivers Benjamin to them, and ...read more

    Joseph: Reunited With His Family Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jun 13, 2022
     | 6,196 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

    Judah, His Failures And His Future Series

     | 3,600 views

    Judah was the fourth son of Jacob and Leah. He failed, several times, but God forgave him and gave him a future to be proud of.

    Introduction: Each of Jacob’s twelve sons was different from the others. That goes without saying, as any parent of more than one child will probably agree! Judah was the fourth son of Jacob and Leah and his name is related to the Hebrew word for “praise (Gen. 29:35)”. Some of his deeds might have ...read more
