As we examine the narrative of Joseph's brothers' trip to Egypt, we consider the picture of our own unwillingness to deal with some things that this story paints. 

Today we work through chapter 40, see how much Joseph has changed since his time in his father's house, and mark how God uses circumstances to grow us. 

As we continue the story of Joseph, we mark the fact that God was with Joseph in slavery and in prison, and not because of anything in Joseph. 

Today we begin our series on The Exodus by looking at Joseph's story, so that we can understand how God's people ended up in need of rescue from slavery. 

The sermon is followed by a Lord's Supper devotional from Matt Mathison. That audio begins at exactly the 41 minute mark. 

As we close the epistle, we consider what our obligation is to those who are ensnared by sin and temptation, and a final warning against idols. 

Today we went back over the last three weeks in 1 John, and added observations where we missed them. 

Today we break from 1 John to hear from the Shepherd as we prepare for baptisms and baby dedication, and make our way through the fifth Psalm. 

Today we consider the blessing of assurance, and how we might gain it. 

Life or death is a matter of what you believe about Jesus. 

Today we begin the fifth chapter of 1 John, and take note of the monumental importance of the new birth, and the somewhat unexpected outcome.
