Genesis 40

April 28, 2019 10:00 - 21 minutes - 19.5 MB

As we’ve been studying the life of Joseph, the word picture that keeps coming up to illustrate the journey God had for Joseph is that of a roller coaster. The ups, the downs, the twists, the turns—Joseph went through it all! Joseph started out as his father’s favorite with a coat of many colors. But this dreamer was despised by his brothers, who plotted to kill him but made a profit by selling him into slavery. As he served in his master’s house, Joseph was tempted by his master’s wife, then...

Genesis 39

April 14, 2019 10:00 - 33 minutes - 30.5 MB

Fight or flight? In a split second, our bodies undergo an amazing series of responses when a sudden stress places us in potential harm. In that split second, we have a choice—do we stay and fight or do we run away? And what’s the right answer? Fighting seems like the most courageous choice—and in certain circumstances it might be. But when it comes to temptation, fighting is not the wisest thing to do. It’s also not the courageous to do. “How can a young man keep his way pure?” asked the p...

Genesis 36-37

March 31, 2019 10:00 - 31 minutes - 28.7 MB

God has a wonderful plan for your life…even though life is full of suffering and sorrow at times. It’s just that suffering and sorrow is not the end of the story. You see, the story—the epic poem—that God is writing with your life includes high highs and low lows. The question is, are you going to trust God and obey God through the lowest lows and the highest highs…just like Joseph? Our study in Genesis now turns to this young man. His life is a practical and productive study with real l...

Genesis 35

March 24, 2019 10:00 - 33 minutes - 30.7 MB

Have you ever felt like God was done with you? Maybe you feel that you’ve sinned too many times. Or you feel that you’re too old or not relevant. If you are in Jesus, that feeling isn’t based on fact. It’s not true. God is not done with you! Feelings, although real and tangible, aren’t always the greatest communicators of truth. Sometimes, feelings just straight up lie to you. So where can we go when we have those fleeting feelings that God is done with us? To the place where God speaks. W...

Genesis 34

March 17, 2019 10:00 - 39 minutes - 35.8 MB

When Dinah was raped, her father Jacob acted indifferently. When her brothers heard about what happened, they were more concerned with revenge than her welfare. And when the dust had settled from the aftermath of even more darkness and brokenness, it seems like Dinah was an afterthought. But not to God. He saw her and what happened to her. He cared about and for her. Even though Dinah’s earthly father wasn’t involved, her Heavenly Father was. Even though Dinah’s older brothers schemed reven...

Genesis 32-33

March 10, 2019 10:00 - 35 minutes - 32.1 MB

Home can be a difficult place at times, can’t it? Especially if you’re coming home to a mess that you have made. Like Jacob coming home 20 years after he left his family in the middle of a mess of his making—lying to his father, cheating and stealing his brother’s blessing…and then running away to avoid revenge. Now 20 years later, God gave Jacob 2 things to help him make the difficult decision to make the difficult journey home—an aggravating father-in-law, and a promise. But he still had n...

Genesis 31

March 03, 2019 10:00 - 32 minutes - 29.4 MB

If you are wondering why God is not speaking to you now, it might be that you are right where He wants you to be. God spoke to Jacob when he was not where God wanted him to be and when it was time for him to move—there is nothing recorded in-between those times. Think of it this way…children might ask their mother if they can play outside. “Yes,” the mother would say, “but only where I can see you in the yard.” When the children would go outside to play, the mother would have not reason to ...

Genesis 30b

February 24, 2019 10:00 - 33 minutes - 30.6 MB

Life is messy, and yet God is gracious. Life is messy, and yet God is good. Life is messy, and yet God is real. “In the midst of our mess” has become a familiar phrase as we’ve been working though the book of Genesis. We’ve seen sweeping landscapes of creation, redemption, history, poetry, prophecy…and odd personalities that mirror our own. Personalities like Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Real men from real messed up families. And yet, in the midst of their mess, God is gracious, good, and re...

Genesis 29-30a

February 21, 2019 10:00 - 35 minutes - 32.2 MB

God can and will reach into any messed up family and, by His grace, bless and help and lead and guide and heal and strengthen and sovereignly accomplish His purpose—just as we saw in our study of Genesis 29 & 30 this past Sunday. Here’s a story of a really messed up family led by a man who was messed up more than most. And yet in the midst of this mess—this crazy mess—God enters in by His grace and blesses the mess Jacob found himself in.

Genesis 28

February 10, 2019 10:00 - 35 minutes - 32.2 MB

“Behold, I am with you…” –Genesis 28:15 There it is! That glorious phase, that glorious gift when God says, “I am with you.” ”I am with you…” in the midst of your mess, Jacob…heal catcher…schemer…sinner. ”I am with you. I never left you and I will never leave you. I will fulfill my promises to you. I will complete the work—the good work that I began in you.” Isn’t God good? Isn’t God gracious when He meets with us in the midst of our mess and says the same to us? That glorious and graciou...

In our last study in Genesis, we left off with God speaking to Isaac directly—“Don’t be afraid, Isaac. I am with you. I will bless you and I will multiply your descendants for my servant Abraham’s sake.” (Genesis 26:24). Isaac—a man of faith called by God to walk in courageous faithfulness and lead his family in courageous faithfulness. And he did, but just for a season. Isaac honored his history and heritage as a man of faith, as the son of promise, living in the land of promise as a pilgri...

Genesis 21

December 09, 2018 10:00 - 34 minutes - 31.2 MB

We were reminded in Genesis 20 that the Lord is merciful and gracious. Sometimes He gives us a symbol to remind us that He is merciful and gracious. But He is also mysterious—His ways are not our ways. Sometimes His ways confound us. Sometimes, His ways seem to contradict His character. He has His own purposes. The Lord gives…and then takes away—sometimes without any explanation. Still, sometimes we wonder, “God, how could You be good and allow this to happen?” In those moments, at those ti...
