As we saw last week, Joseph was rejected, abandoned, and imprisoned. Joseph arrives in Egypt and is working for a man named Potiphar, God gives us a peek at an extraordinary event in his life.

Joseph has to make a split-second decision, and the choice is not easy. Like most important choices, Joseph’s future is determined by the choice he makes.

Read Genesis 39 to learn more about this choice and how Joseph responded with integrity and to prepare for this message.

An absent mother, a passive father, and angry bothers are the makeup of the home in which Joseph was raised. Yet, in spite of all this dysfunction, God reached down and saved a boy from the pit, literally.

Today, many people have been raised in less than perfect homes. Joseph’s story brings hope because it reminds us that our past does not determine our future.

In preparation for this message, read Genesis 37. Remind yourself of all Joseph experienced as young lad. Don’t miss the introduction to this powerful series.
