Mark 10:45 tells us that Jesus came to ransom and serve. Surprisingly, the roots of this go way back to Judah and Joseph!

The brothers go down to Egypt to buy grain and meet their (hidden) exalted brother. Joseph's interaction with them is a bit unusual. In this sermon we explore why Joseph behaves the way he does.

In John 2, Mary tells the servants at the wedding, "Do whatever he tells you." That phrasing seems to echo Pharaoh's words from Genesis 41 "Go to Joseph, do whatever he tells you." Is there a connection between these two commands?

What does it mean that Christians are "called to freedom"? What has Christ freed us to?

God's timing comes to fruition and Joseph is brought out of the pit to interpret Pharaoh's dreams. What does this passage tell us about God?

The Lord fulfills his promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in Joseph and He is present with Joseph. Joseph's righteousness points us forward to a greater righteousness.

What is this strange story doing in the Bible? Pointing us to hope in the Messiah.
