Through all the imagery and figures within the Tribulation period, it can be difficult to know what is actually going to happen and when. We hope this week’s sermon will help clarify for us the events of the Tribulation.

We cannot walk through the book of Revelation without encountering God’s wrath in the Tribulation period. So this week we ask the important questions: What is the Tribulation and why is it necessary?

In Revelation 4 and 5 Jesus steps forward as the only one worthy of opening the scrolls sealed by God. These seals are the culmination of the justice due throughout history and set in motion the events that will bring about eternity.

As we begin our study of Revelation, we discuss taking the right approach to this mysterious book as well as focus on the best promise within it.

This week we reflect on the entire saga of Joseph and see that just like Joseph, we are right in the middle of God’s plan.

In part 6 the story of Joseph reaches its emotional and hopeful conclusion. The words of Jacob at the end of the story are words that we can claim with great faith today.

Although many of us love mystery in a good book or an engaging movie, we don’t so much in our own lives . . . But God does!

The Lord shows favor for Joseph over and over again. Joseph’s father, Jacob, was shown this same favor but never seemed to be able to see it and rest easy in it. Why was that? What was the difference between Jacob and Joseph?

In part 3 we find that Joseph chooses to continue to honor God even when he can’t see his plan. You would think this choice would make life easier for Joseph, but this week we see that is not always true.

As a teenager, Joseph receives some visions from God that seem to indicated a very promising future. But what does he do when it looks like that future isn’t going to come about? What would we do?
