Genesis Chapter Forty-One Series

Contributed by Tom Shepard on Apr 5, 2024

These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Forty-One. 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-ONE OVERVIEW Overall what is happening in this chapter is that Pharaoh has a dream and Joseph interprets it. Joseph is then given a place of authority. Thomas Constable (2012) – Genesis 41 Joseph interpreted Pharaoh's two dreams faithfully. This led to God elevating ...read more

At The King's Table

Contributed by J. Yeargin on Nov 27, 2006

I have a classic story to share with you about a young boy who was once destined to live in royalty…at least so he thought. He was the grandson of King Saul and was destined to one day become the king of Israel.

AT THE KING’S TABLE There have been many stories written about people who were considered to be very poor (i.e. paupers and peasants) who dreamed of one day becoming wealthy (i.e. royalty and living in a palace). Stories like “Cinderella” or “The Prince and the Pauper”. “Cinderella” was only a ...read more

The Midnight Cry

Contributed by J. Yeargin on Nov 28, 2006

When you consider the coming of Jesus Christ, what do you see taking place in your life? The prophecies regarding the coming of Christ found in the word of God was never meant to bring you thoughts of panic, doom or discouragement.

THE MIDNIGHT CRY The recent events, taking place in the news, continue to challenge my heart with the fact that Jesus is coming soon. Although I am troubled with the terror that has gripped our nation, I am not discouraged or surprised with what the Lord has planned for this world. As believers ...read more

Determining Your Own Boundaries

Contributed by Paul Fritz on May 8, 2003

Realize that some people grow up in families where destructive behavior goes without punishment. My own family thought it was OK to drink to a point where drunken behavior was not recognized as a problem. As a consequence there was very little anger manag

Crash And Burn

Contributed by Pat Cook on Jun 28, 2003

I looked at the Feb 2003 S.S.Columbia disaster for 2 thoughts: 1) where do we go when hard times hit and 2) what happens when Christians wipe out and give up in their faith?

Psalm 46:1-3 – Crash and Burn Yesterday was a sad day for the world. It was not a tragedy to the same scale as September 11, 2001. In fact, even normal plane crashes take more lives than the disaster yesterday. Yet there is something very sad of the explosion of the Space Shuttle Columbia ...read more

All I (Really) Want For Christmas Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 8, 2002

Joseph thought he knew what he wanted: freedom from embarassment, a normal life, a few friends to support him. But in listening to the Spirit he found that what he really wanted was to love and to be loved, to be significant, and to be understood by God.

What do you want for Christmas? I hope there’s somebody in your life who is asking that question. I am not one of those curmudgeons who thinks we should do away with giving gifts at Christmas. Yes, it gets out of hand. And yes, it’s all very commercial. But still, gift-giving is a part ...read more

A Prevailing Church: Loosing Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 20, 2002

A prevailing church is one which lives like those persons others thought Jesus might be -- like John the Baptist, loosing himself from tradition; like Elijah, living out of grace; like Jeremiah, let loose in the world.

I walked into the Baptist Student Center at the University of Kentucky, about to take over as chaplain. My predecessor was still on the scene, filling up garbage cans with files. In those pre-Watergate days, nobody had thought of shredders, I guess. He was throwing away every record, ...read more
