When you’re in the middle of a story, it’s easy to become discouraged because you don’t see how issues will get resolved. Both Joseph and his family were in the middle of a big story when he disclosed himself to his brothers. He was living proof that God brings hope when you think the future will be grim and impossible. In today’s teaching we discover how we can act in hope even though we don’t know how our stories will play out on earth.

Sometimes God seems to complicate simple tasks. He sometimes puts barriers in your way that don’t seem to make sense. He allows difficulties that test your trust and your patience. We see this unfold in the relationship between Joseph and his brothers in Genesis 42-44. And if we look closely, we’ll discover that God has wise purposes behind his sometimes confusing plan.

We can learn a lot by looking at the life of Joseph as told in Genesis. One of the main lessons we can learn is how to go through problems or challenges. These lessons are priceless as we all have difficult circumstances we have to deal with. Join us as we look how Joseph uses faith in God to make it through his challenging circumstances.

In some places truth is now regarded as relative or as something that does not even exist. When Harvest Ev. Free Church started, ministry was built around the value of ‘The Bible as God’s Truth.’ Is that practical today? Should Harvest and other churches go in a different direction? Pastor Dane Schaudt answers those questions as he explores Paul’s directives about truth and preaching from 1 Timothy 3:14-15 and 2 Timothy 4:1-4.

Sometimes it seems as though life is random. Things just happen. Joseph must have felt that way after 13 years in obscurity as a slave. But God has a way of preparing us for an important role in his plan. In this study we’ll learn how God worked out his plan to make Pharaoh need a man he never knew existed 48 hours earlier

Sometimes it seems like God is detached from our lives or relatively inactive. We can wonder if he’s bypassed us for other things. We can even regard him as indifferent. But God is at work even when we’re not surrounded by miracles. That’s what we see in the life of Joseph in Genesis chapter 40, where nothing seems to happen for a number of years. But God is on the move.

We all know people who have become bitter or cynical as a result of a real or perceived injustice. But God doesn’t want the evil realities of a fallen world to disfigure the character or outlook of his people. In this study, we’ll look in Genesis 39 at how to experience such things without becoming distorted by them.

Everyone grew up in a family with some level of dysfunction. Some were mild, some were severely dysfunctional. What is amazing is that no matter the dysfunction, God can and will work in and through the situation. Join us as we begin looking at the life of Joseph and his dysfunctional family!
