Genesis 45 is all about the reveal. Up to this point, Joseph had concealed his identity by playing the part of an Egyptian ruler. But now, overcome with emotion, he makes himself known to his brothers. But that's not the only reveal this chapter contains which culminates with the reviving of Jacob's heart when he learns that his son is not dead.

This is a series on the life of Joseph and yet, it's so much more than that. In this message Judah is again prominent and serves as an example of what a heart change looks like. And it's beautiful. In contrast to what it looked like in his past, Judah's heart now is full of humility, compassion and a tender concern for others. All coming because of God's mercy.

In this passage the sons of Israel, all eleven this time, return to Egypt. But this time they return with fear and ongoing guilt but will surprisingly be met with grace, kindness and peace. This message considers what kind of grace and peace the Bible speaks of and how this passage reminds us of the beauty of the gospel.

The Word of God is full of the message of His grace.  Christ died in our place to purchase our salvation.  It is a free gift which costs us nothing.  Our sins are forgiven and we are made right with God by grace which we appropriate by faith.  But to be a disciple is a commitment which costs us everything.  If we will share in Christ's glory we must be willing to share in his suffering.  Are you willing to pay the price?

In the Great Commission, Jesus commands his disciples to make disciples.  That  began a process of multiplication that would take the Gospel to " the ends of the earth."  In this message, we will look at the call of Jesus to discipleship as the first disciples experienced it.  We will look at the process by which the Greatest Disciple Maker "made" ordinary people into those He could use to join him in the greatest mission on earth.

Last week the calamity of the family took the brothers to Egypt. After being released from prison and in their conviction, they confess their guilt and are set free - paid in full, with provisions for the journey.Fantastic, but what if God calls us to more? What if God wants more for us than simply our freedom? What if God doesn’t want salvation for us on our terms but His? What if God is as interested in our journeys as He is in setting us free? What if God is more dedicated to His call on our life than we are? What if God didn’t only save us from something but for something? Here’s the overarching question this message will seek to answer: what can we expect after being set free, paid in full, and given provisions for the journey?
