Genesis: The Unfolding Story of God's Grace

Speaker Phil Congdon

Time to take one last look at Genesis, where we've been, and what it all means. From the dawn of creation, our journey has brought us to the banks of the Nile; Jacob's children and their families are in a foreign land, but God is enacting His plan to rescue the world.

Genesis

End of an Era, but the Promise Lives On

Speaker Phil Congdon

Scripture says that 'it is appointed unto men once to die' - but how we die, and how we face death, reflects the reality of our faith. The final scenes in Genesis recount the deaths of Jacob and Joseph, and demonstrate their faith in God and His promises, at the end of life.

Scripture: Genesis 49:29-50:26

Actions Have Consequences: The Sons of Jacob

Genesis

Actions Have Consequences: The Sons of Jacob

Speaker Phil Congdon

While Genesis reveals God as being patient and faithful, He is also holy and just. In Gen. 49, Jacob gathers his sons to tell their futures, both good and bad, based on how they lived their lives. The lesson for Christians today is transparent: What you do now matters!

Scripture: Genesis 49:1-28

Genesis

Faith Learns the Ways of God

Speaker Phil Congdon

Aren't you glad God is patient? We are fickle, and often fail, but He is faithful! Jacob fought with God for much of his life, but God never gave up on him, and in his last days, God won his heart. He showed he had learned to trust God - a life lesson we all need to learn.

Scripture: Genesis 47:28-48:22

Genesis

Practical Wisdom of a Man of God

Speaker Phil Congdon

While God's plan cannot be thwarted by the sinful actions of men, it is magnified when combined with the wise leadership of godly men. Joseph is 'Exhibit A' of this truth, both with his family, and with the Egyptians. Happy is the man who finds wisdom (Proverbs 3:13)!

Scripture: Genesis 46:31-47:27

Genesis

Moving Time! Stepping Out in Faith

Speaker Phil Congdon

God keeps His word! He told Abraham his descendants would go to a foreign land, and now they are traveling to Egypt. On the way, He reminds Jacob that He will make them a great nation, but little could Jacob have known then how! God's providential power is on display.

Scripture: Genesis 45:16-46:30

Genesis

Sovereignty and Forgiveness

Speaker Phil Congdon

The tension that has been building since Joseph's brothers first came to Egypt is released as he reveals who he is! They are frightened, but need not be: Joseph sees God's sovereign hand at work, preserving a nation, and restoring a family. This is what God can do!

Scripture: Genesis 45:1-15

Genesis

Spiritual Transformation Looks Like This

Speaker Phil Congdon

Twenty years after being sold by his brothers, Joseph is ruling Egypt. Not knowing it is him, they stand before him in need of food. Have their hearts changed? The tension reaches a fever pitch as Joseph instigates a test to determine if their spiritual transformation is real.

Scripture: Genesis 44
