Genesis ends at a point that was inconceivable when it began... at a grave. God created the world perfectly, and yet the fall brought about catastrophic consequences. Would those consequences cancel the promises God made? Absolutely not!

When we think of Genesis, we don't often think of prophecy, and yet this historical book contains several of the most important prophecies in Scripture... of which Genesis 49 is properly categorized. What would become of the tribes of Israel as they entered the Promised Land? Who would come from the tribe of Judah? What judgements would befall those sons of Israel who acted violently or immorally?

This week, we consider how Genesis 44 foreshadows the gospel of Jesus Christ.

In today's episode, we find Joseph's brother's coming face to face with the consequences for their sin. Will they be punished as they deserve? What of Joseph? Would his faith play out in a way that would reveal God's blessed hand has been upon him?

In today's episode, we consider the example of Joseph... a man who God placed in a position of authority within the government to bring about His will. How do we, as citizens in a pluralistic society, contend for Christian values in public spaces?

In the midst of great difficulties, Joseph didn't shy away from pointing people towards God while simultaneously revealing the flaws in false ideologies. May we be found as faithful!

Sinful thoughts give way to action. Joseph's brothers did the unthinkable. After being consumed by jealousy and bitterness towards their brother, they sold him off to merchants who, in turn, sold him off to Potipher. How should we respond when our circumstances are challenging? How should we respond when people treat us so poorly? In today's episode, we'll consider these points.

If someone claimed to encounter God, what sort of changes would you expect to see? We left off last week with Jacob wrestling with God. Would he be different from the weak, timid, deceptive man he was before or will he be the same old Jacob?
