    Genesis: 39. The End of the Beginning (Genesis 49-50) | Drew Dawson

    Genesis ends with the death of Joseph. But Joseph believed that his story was just one part of a much bigger story, a story written by God. In this message, Drew Dawson, pastor of Resurrection Church in Gig Harbor, looks at how the end of Joseph's life points to God's larger story and how we can live our part in that story with faithfulness, zeal, and wisdom.

    Genesis: 38. Jacob Finishes Strong (Genesis 46-48) | Michael Bouterse

    38. Jacob Finishes Strong (Genesis 46-48) Jacob's life takes up nearly half of Genesis, and in the final chapters of the Joseph story, we see Jacob finish strong. Despite his life of cunning and scheming, Jacob eventually develops a deep faith in God, leaving a multigenerational legacy. In this message, Michael Bouterse, the director of Thrive Harbor, unfolds what Jacob's story teaches us about how we, too, can finish strong. Scripture passages cited (or alluded to) in this message include Genesis 37:2; 42:36; 46:2-4; 47:7-10, 31; 48:8-14, 15, 17-20; Hebrews 11:21; Ecclesiastes 3:1-2, 4; Psalm 27:13; Galatians 3:1-3; and 2 Chronicles 33:1-20.

    Genesis: 37. The Healing of Harms (Genesis 44-45) | Michael Bouterse

    The story of Joseph reaches a climax in Genesis 44-45. Joseph reveals himself to his brothers, and his family is reconciled. But for that reconciliation to happen, Joseph had to be willing to forgive. In this message, Michael Bouterse, the director of Thrive Harbor, looks at what these chapters teach about forgiveness: what is it, how do we do it, and what do we need to do it. Scripture passages cited (or alluded to) in this message include Genesis 44:1-45:8; 50:16-20.

    Genesis: 36. He Will Make It Plain (Genesis 42-43) | Michael Bouterse

    Many Christians know Romans 8:28: "God works all things together for good for those who love him." But life is hard, and we doubt that promise. Joseph's brothers faced the same temptation when they experienced his harsh treatment of them. But through their story, we see how God's seeming harshness is actually His mercy; He does not seek to destroy us, but to save us. Scripture passages cited (or alluded to) in this message include Genesis 42-43; 50:20; Romans 8:28, 29, 32; Acts 3:1-10; Luke 19:47; and Hebrews 12:4-11.

    Genesis: 35. The Inward Journey (Genesis 40-42) | Michael Bouterse

    The climax of Joseph's story is his forgiveness of his brothers. Although they had brutally abused and betrayed him, Joseph is willing to reconcile. Why? How did Joseph possess the largeness of soul necessary to forgive and love his family? One answer is that God had to take Joseph on what might be called "the inward journey." He had to form his character through suffering to make him into the person of greatness he became. Scripture passages cited (or alluded to) in this message include Genesis 37:2; 39:2; 40-42; Psalms 30:5; 105:18-21; Hebrews 2:10; 2 Corinthians 4:17; 5:17; Romans 5:3-4; Isaiah 28:23-29; Philippians 3:13-14; and John 21.

    Genesis: 34. The Fight with Temptation (Genesis 39) | Joe Schneider

    Joseph's character formation was long and intense. Before God used him mightily, he made Joseph pass through trials and temptations—which are as instructive for us in our day as they were for him in his. This message was given by Joe Schneider, pastor emeritus of Peninsula Bible Fellowship and one of Thrive's board members.

    Genesis: 33. Judah's Story (Genesis 38) | Tim Stobbe

    Judah will come to play a critical part in the story of Joseph, and later the story of Jesus. But first he must pass through a tough series of circumstances—some of his own making—before God brings redemption to his story. In this message, Tim Stobbe, pastor of Waypoint North, unpacks what Genesis 38 teaches us through Judah's journey.

    Genesis: 32. A Tragic Beginning (Genesis 37) | Michael Bouterse

    The story of Joseph is one of the most beautiful and redemptive stories in the Bible. But it begins with a terrible tragedy. In this message, Michael Bouterse, director of Thrive Harbor, looks at what Genesis 37 teaches about God's relationship to tragic events in our lives. Scripture passages cited (or alluded to) in this message include Genesis 12:3; 15:13-14; 37; 42:21-22; 2 Kgs 6; Psalm 105:19; and Hebrews 5:8.
