The story of Joseph, as told in Genesis 37-50, can be summarized by three key words: pit, prison, and palace. Over recent weeks, we've explored Joseph's journey, from being thrown into a pit by his brothers and sold into slavery, to being imprisoned due to Potiphar's wife, and finally being restored from the prison to the palace as second-in-command.
Joseph's story is a testament to God's providential hand, yet as we turn to Genesis 42 and 43, we wonder if God will bring total justice to Joseph for the wrongs done to him by his brothers. Suddenly, a widespread famine drives everyone to Egypt, including Joseph's brothers. Face-to-face with his own flesh and blood, Joseph tests them to examine their motives and prove their sincerity.
Join us as we see how Joseph confronts his brothers in Genesis 42 and 43.

This Fall, GCC will journey through Genesis 37-50 with the family of Jacob, a father, and his sons, as God's providential hand is vividly on display in the life of one of Jacob's younger sons, Joseph. We meet him as a 17-year-old young man quarreling with his brothers, but quickly, he is tossed into a pit and then thrown into prison. He ultimately enters the palace of Pharaoh. His position in the palace magnifies the power of divine intervention in Joseph's life. We learn what was meant for evil; God meant it for good!
