    6d ago

    God Planned It for Good

    Pastor Dan Rude answers two questions that arise from Genesis 50: “What do you do with guilt?” and “How do we forgive those who have deeply hurt us?” As Genesis comes to a close, Joseph’s brothers continue to struggle with the guilt of what they have done to him, while Joseph demonstrates his established forgiveness through his words and actions toward them.

  3. The Crossed Hands of God's Blessing

    May 17

    The Crossed Hands of God's Blessing

    God's ways are not our ways, and this is clearly evident at the end of Genesis. In Genesis 48, we find Jacob at the end of his life giving a blessing to Joseph's sons. In this chapter, we see the first mention of God as a shepherd. Pastor Dan explains how this blessing reveals Jacob's view of God and his obedience to Him. It also shows Joseph's immense faith in choosing to align his family with Israel instead of Egypt.

    Israel Moves to Egypt

    Reconcile

    Reveal, Reassure, Reconcile, Return, Revival. These are the 5 words that summarize Genesis 45 when Joseph reveals his identity to his brothers. Pastor Luke Hukee delves into what forgiveness is, what reconciliation entails, and how, as Christians, we have reason to hope and be optimistic, regardless of the circumstances.

  6. The Life-Altering Transformation

    Apr 26

    The Life-Altering Transformation

    In Genesis 44, we see the fruit, the proof of Joseph’s brothers’ transformation. The longest recorded speech from Joseph's brother, Judah, and some say the most manly.

  7. The Cure for Envy

    Apr 19

    The Cure for Envy

    Envy is a darker side of coveting, born out of an obsession with what someone deserves. In Genesis 43, Joseph encounters his brothers again and has another test for them to reveal whether these envious men who threw him in a pit and sold him into slavery had changed. Pastor Dan Rude discusses the cure for envy and how it is illustrated in the story of Joseph.

  8. The Grace of Guilt

    Apr 12

    The Grace of Guilt

    Joseph encounters his brothers for the first time, and instead of choosing to forget about them. He chooses to try to get to know them, understand them, and create an opportunity to potentially seek reconciliation. Pastor Dan Rude explains how sin haunts, how forgiveness works, and how reconciliation is different than forgiveness.
