Description:

In Genesis 47:13–26, famine sweeps the land, stripping Egypt of its wealth, land, and independence. But instead of despair, the people respond with gratitude: “You have saved our lives. We belong to you.”

What kind of surrender leads to joy? And how does this ancient story point us to the greater Joseph—Jesus Christ—who offers the Bread of Life to starving souls?

In this message, Pastor Billy draws on both Scripture and modern history, including lessons from Ireland’s Troubles, to challenge our assumptions about self-rule and to invite us into the life-giving freedom of Christ’s rule.

Description:

In this sermon from Genesis 46:28–47:12, we see God’s sovereign hand at work as He preserves, protects, and provides for Jacob and his family through their reunion with Joseph in Egypt.

Preserved: God carefully directs His covenant people, even through life’s unexpected paths.

Protected: God sets His people apart for holiness in the midst of a godless culture.

Provided: God meets every need, often through surprising and unlikely means.

This passage reminds us that the same God who cared for His people then is still working today—for our good and His glory.
