The record of Joseph's life shows how God was moving to accomplish His great plan of redemption. It also gives us practical truths that we can apply in our own lives, such as what it looks like to pursue "God dreams." What dream has God given you?

Jacob's name meant "heel" or "deceiver," and this was an identity he lived up to until God met him and began to transform his life. Through Jesus Christ, God does the same thing for us today. Can you sense Him working in your life? How is He calling you to respond in faith?

"Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see." (Hebrews 11:1, NLT)
As we follow our purpose of making disciples, we can know with assurance that God will provide what we need for the journey ahead.

Sarai's servant Hagar had been deeply hurt. Alone in the wilderness, she received assurance and comfort from the Lord, and called him "the God who sees." He sees our hurt and our pain, and He responds. We are not alone.

God told a man named Abram to leave everything he knew and go to a land that God would show him later. Along with that command came a purpose and a promise. Through Jesus, God has given us a command to go, a purpose of making disciples and a promise that he will be with us to the end of the age.

Our God is a Creator of good and a Destroyer of evil. He sent judgment upon the earth through a worldwide flood, but saved the human race and the animal kingdom through one man and his family. Then, He gave a sign that He would never again destroy all life on earth. Our God keeps His promises!

We are made in the image of God our Creator, which means we are not meant to be alone. Though sin has separated us from God, He has pursued after us by making a way for us to have a relationship with Him. The richness of His grace is found on the same pages that show us the consequences of disobedience.

After giving instructions about building healthy relationships within the household, Paul concludes his letter with a reminder that believers are in a spiritual battle that requires spiritual armor. Gage Ross shares that victory will only come when we are prepared to face the enemy ... when we are ready in Christ.
