Are you finding it hard to hope after years of disappointment?

Jacob did too. While his sons had reconciled back in Egypt, Jacob remained in Canaan, in the middle of a great famine, uncertain whether any of his sons would return to him. When they finally do return with news that Joseph is alive, will Jacob respond in doubt, or find the faith to hope again?

This week we finish reading through Genesis 45, and see how God was providing for Jacob even in the middle of mourning and famine. We'll see how God worked through the Pharoah to fulfill His promise to Abraham and how God's abundant grace allowed Jacob to take the next step of faith that would lead him to once again live out the name Israel--God wins. And we'll learn together how to see the work of grace in our own lives that can spark the hope that we lost long ago.
