Forgiveness. Stuff not working out right.  Family.  Sin against God.  Transformation. 

Joseph offered his brothers life, because what the perpetrators thought the enemy had used for evil God has used to save nations of people…including themselves.  They had just moved from death to life.

Much has changed in the way we dress over the years.  But as Christians, sometimes we miss it.  Start with the heart, then go to the rules.  Jesus always starts with the heart.

Sunday, July 3 - Extreme Makeover - Joseph

When Joseph sees his brothers, he's crushed.  Would they be the same men he once knew, or had time and the Lord's discipline changed them all?

Someone was willing to take the place of the guilty party, just like Jesus was willing to take ours.

You can't just fall into being a man or woman of God.  It's purposeful. Not lazy.  Because the most fulfilling relationship you'll ever have is your relationship with Jesus. 

God wants better for you than you want for yourself.

The brothers eventually had to deal with the past because God has the keys to the past, the present, and the future. Because we most often learn though pain, God also deals with Jacob's past. 

Sometimes it's hard to see Jesus is making us look more like Him and less like us because all we see is the pain.

There are times when we want to put things in the past, walk away and leave it there forever.  And there are times that God brings it all out because He has the keys to our life and He knows what's best.

Wednesday, June 15 - The Bigger Picture - Philippians 4

Being content.  There's a famous verse of Scripture that is taken wildly out of context at football games and job interviews and many more places. We get wrapped up seeking the things we desire more than seeking the things we really need.  Paul is in prison, and on his way to trial, and yet is able to say, "Jesus, you're all I need."

Sunday, June 12 - Extreme Makeover - Joseph

In today's part of the story of Joseph, by the words standards, something good is going to happen. Despite all the hardship Joseph had been through, he never complained.  People watched him.  He never got any justice for being falsely imprisoned.  But when the appointed time came, God began to put a great plan in motion.

Wednesday, June 8 - The Bigger Picture - Philippians 4

There's a great misconception that to love someone means you tell them what they want to hear instead of the truth. The truth is, if you truly love someone you MUST tell them the truth.  

And what God does with the truth is build to a point that your every thought is captivated by Him.

Paul never gets tired of telling people the same thing over and over.  Over and over and over again, it's the pursuit of Christ - keep running, keeping going, don't quit! 

Because the end prize is worth it.  The prize is to be with Him.
