In this message Rick takes up the question of emotions standing in the way of fighting against our faith. How do we move forward in our faith when our feelings are saying “No!” Or when our feelings are saying “I don’t feel like it.” Or when we are scared of losing what our heart tells us are the good things of life.

In Genesis 45 we encounter two great themes: God’s providence and reconciliation. To many these may sound like cold, lifeless, and academic terms. In this message Rick shows us that an understanding of God’s providence can enable us to find healing, offer forgiveness, and ward off bitterness that may otherwise overtake us when bad things happen to us.

As we have been studying how the Lord is working in the hearts of Joseph’s brothers we have seen them face their sins. But so far they have stopped short of true repentance. In this study, Rick shows us how the Lord brings them to true repentance and what this repentance looks like.

In our previous study Joseph’s brothers began to face their secret sin. In this study, Rick shows us a second important parts of forgiveness, namely, the recognition of God’s mercy in Christ.

Guilt is an unspeakable word to modern society. We explain it away. We justify it away. We attempt to store it away as far as we can get it. But healing can never come until we face it, own it, and repent of it. In this message, Rick takes us through the hard road to repentance as it is illustrated for us in Genesis 42.

There is one thing that profoundly changes the heart and life of a sinner and that is a glimpse of the beauty, majesty, and splendor of Christ. In this message, drawing upon the multiple ways Joseph foreshadows Christ, Rick attempts to put forth Jesus in His beauty, majesty, and splendor.

Life is full of ups and downs--pleasantries and unpleasantries. In this message, Rick sets our focus on one of the great gems in the Joseph narrative, namely, how to handle awful circumstances, suffering, future uncertainty and even prosperity.

In this message, Pastor Rick Anderson presents a view of baptism espoused by the Westminster Confession of Faith challenging us to see that baptism is not a sign of the believer’s faith but a sign of Christ’s covenant promises.

In our study of Joseph we have seen him go from being the favorite son to the favorite slave and finally to the favorite inmate. As Joseph plunged further and further it would have been harder and harder to see anything that could come out of his increasingly desperate situation. But nothing could be further from the truth. In this message, Rick shows us that God’s amazing work is generally hidden from our view.

If we are to glorify God in all we do. If we are to see evil for what it is. If we are to overcome temptation. If we are to keep from falling into self-pity. If we are to be so bold as to lay down our lives rather than displease God then one thing the believer must know is the Lord is with him. In this message, Rick develops the power of this theme out of the way the Lord worked in Joseph’s enslavement and incarceration.
