What is bearing false witness? Can we be guilty of bearing false witness even if we don't know the information is false? Join Ellen as we discuss the 9th commandment.

The truth has been revealed. For the next seventeen years, Jacob and his sons would live in the land of Egypt. At Jacob's death what will happen? Have the brothers really been forgiven? They think not.

What if stealing is more than taking an object that is not your?

Joseph continues to play games with his brothers, even manipulating his own servants to set up his own brother. Then something unexpected happens and it melts Joseph's very cold and bitter heart. Yes, even smart and successful people can still engage in cheap pettiness. There will be consequences.

Today Ellen will lead us to discover that the seventh commandment is more than just adultery. How do we remain faithful?

We find Joseph is a very different place this week. He is no longer in prison. The wine steward finally told Pharaoh about Joseph's ability to interpret dreams and through this encounter, Joseph has prospered and is now the Secretary of Agriculture and human Services for all of Egypt. He has prepared Egypt well for the coming famine and now others are coming to Egypt in hopes of buying grain. If you want grain, you have to meet with Joseph. When his ten brothers walk in, Joseph suddenly finds himself unsure. He knows them but they do not know him because he looks and talks like an Egyptian. Let's explore Joseph reaction.

This week, Ellen helps us unpack the simple commandment that demands we not kill. This is a great chapter in that it tackles those who claim a tragic killing is somehow "God's will."

In Chapters 38 & 39 of Genesis, we find two unusual stories. Chapter 38 summarizes about twenty years of Judah's life while Chapter 39 picks up the Joseph story where it left off at the end of Chapter 37. Both stories are exceptional examples of how we use and abuse power. Actions have consequences.

This week, Ellen will help us understand the obey about honoring our father and mother.

How many of us have experienced a younger sibling who took advantage of our parents' favor and rubbed it in our nose. The ten older sons of Jacob knew something about that and did something about that. They just did not anticipate their father's reaction.
