The Joseph Series
Joseph Series # 1

Joseph Series # 2
The Breakthrough Of God’s Good Over Our Evil

The Hero’s Test
Genesis 39
This message is entitled “The Hero’s Test.” It was originally preached on May 10, 2020 in Nairobi, Kenya. The text is Genesis 39. This is the story of Joseph and Potiphar’s Wife. I invite you to take a moment to consider the question, “What does a real hero look like?”
Joseph Series # 4
The Language Of God
Genesis 40
This message was the fourth in a series on Joseph. The text was Genesis 40. The title of the sermon was “The Language Of God.” I invite you to take a few minutes to learn how it is that God speaks to us. Consider with me what the book of Genesis (and the story of Joseph, the Cupbearer, and the Baker) can teach us about God’s means of communication. (This message was originally preached in Nairobi, Kenya on May 17, 2020).
Joseph Series # 7
The Life Of Faith
Genesis 43
This message is about how God calls His people to live lives of faith. Real faith is not frivolous. Real faith is faithful, and leads us to put our lives on the line. Real faith is selfless, and leads us to lay down that which is most precious to us. Real faith causes us to eventually see that God works in our lives through human means. Moreover, real faith will help us to determine that God does not treat us as our sins deserve. (This sermon was originally preached in Nairobi, Kenya on June 14, 2020. Artwork is by Bacchiacca, d. 1557).
Joseph Series # 5
God Speaks And Lives
Genesis 41
This is the fifth message in the Joseph series. The title is "God Speaks And Lives." I invite you to spend a few minutes listening to an exposition of Genesis 41. See how God utterly changes Joseph's life when he appears before Pharaoh. (This sermon was originally preached on May 24, 2020).
Joseph Series # 6
How God Works Everything Together For Our God
Genesis 42
This is the sixth message in the Joseph series. It was originally preached on June 7, 2020 in Nairobi, Kenya. I invite you to take a few minutes to consider how it is that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love Him. (Artwork is by Jacopo da Pontormo, d. 1557).
