With Joseph's revelation of his true identity to his brothers, a new relationship begins. In this message from Pastor Lloyd, we learn that there are many aspects to this revelation that typifies the experience of a person who comes into an awareness of Jesus. These two chapters reveal numerous comparisons to our salvation experience and pilgrimage in this life.

Mike is an active member of Calvary Chapel Hudson Valley where he has preached, taught and sings in ministry there. Having been delivered from a life of rebellion and destruction, Mike walks in the liberty that is found in Christ, helping and encouraging others to do the same.

Born in Brooklyn, Mike was raised by loving parents, but in his quest for freedom he embarked on a life of rebellion at the age of thirteen. Looking for fulfillment through adventure, he became progressively more rebellious, which led to incarceration for crimes such as stolen cars, possession of dangerous weapons and ultimately armed robberies. Mike squandered a large part of his life in institutions like NYS Division for Youth Facilities, Rikers Islands and infamous New York prisons like Attica and Sing Sing. Thirty-two years were served in the New York State prison system alone, until he was finally broken while serving a 25-50 year sentence. The incessant prayers of his Christian mother made serious inroads into his life. In his brokenness, Jesus became relevant and Mike gave his life to Jesus Christ.

The twists and turns in our lives are for a purpose, especially those events that baffle us. Join Pastor Lloyd for this journey of hearts awakened.

In this forty-second chapter of Genesis, a famine becomes an unexpected vehicle for searching a guilty conscience. Throughout this series, we are reminded that Joseph is a type of Jesus in the Bible and this is another example why. As Joseph confronts his brothers, we learn that restoration begins with revelation. Join Pastor Lloyd for this life-changing, heart-searching moment.

During times of discouragement and abandonment, how does one keep a believing heart and mind? In Genesis chapters forty and forty-one, we are following the life of Joseph when he correctly interprets the dreams for two prisoners but afterwards is quickly forgotten. Two more years pass before Joseph is called from prison to interpret the dream of Pharoah. How is faith sustained when we feel forgotten? The life of Joseph helps us find some surprising answers.
