What others mean for evil, God can use for good. Joseph's story was a prime example of this. Every setback—the betrayal, the pit, the prison—was part of God's greater plan to save lives and fulfill His promises. Through Joseph, Israel, and even Egypt, God brought hope and redemption, turning pain into purpose. Just as He did at the cross, God still works in our darkest moments to bring about good.Watch more sermons from the Plot Twist series at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://crosstownalliance.com/plottwist/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ABOUT THIS SERIESBetrayed.

God can change anyone. In Genesis 43, Judah goes from selling his brother to offering himself in his place, and Joseph chooses forgiveness over revenge. It's a powerful picture of how God's grace transforms hearts and restores what's broken. If He can change them, He can change anyone—including us.Watch more sermons from the Plot Twist series at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://crosstownalliance.com/plottwist/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ABOUT THIS SERIESBetrayed. Sold.

Between 1831 and 1834, the early Latter-day Saint movement was rapidly growing and Joseph was in the middle of it all. From establishing church headquarters in Kirtland, Ohio, to overseeing the building of the Kirtland Temple, publishing revelations, and leading the Saints through challenges in Missouri, this period highlights both the struggles and faith that shaped the foundation of the Latter-Day Saints.Our LinksWebsite: http://thoughtfulfaith.orgInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thoughtful.faithTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thoughtful.faithPodcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1478749DISCLAIMER: The views expressed in this video are entirely the opinion of the creator and do not necessarily reflect any officially endorsed positions of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints or channel sponsors.

God is in control even when life feels uncertain, messy, or on pause. In Genesis 42, we see that 22 years after Joseph's dream, God's timing finally comes full circle, proving that delays aren't denials. Through seasons of waiting and hardship, God shapes our hearts—teaching us compassion, forgiveness, and faithfulness. He's always working in His timing, His ways, and for His glory, forming us through every season to trust that He's doing something good, even when we can't see it yet.Watch more sermons from the Plot Twist series at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://crosstownalliance.com/plottwist/⁠⁠⁠⁠ABOUT THIS SERIESBetrayed.

Ever feel like life's on pause and nothing's happening? That's exactly where Joseph was in Genesis 40—stuck in prison, forgotten by people, but not by God. Even in the waiting, God was shaping his character, building his gifts, and stretching his faith to prepare him for what was next. God's delays aren't His denials. So don't waste the wait—lean in and see what He's doing in your season right now.Watch more sermons from the Plot Twist series at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://crosstownalliance.com/plottwist/⁠⁠ABOUT THIS SERIESBetrayed.

Joseph's story in Genesis 37 shows that even in chaos—family conflict, betrayal, and detours—God was at work. Through brokenness, dreams, and setbacks, He was guiding Joseph toward His greater plan. It reminds us to trust that God is still working, even when life feels out of control.Watch more sermons from the Plot Twist series at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://crosstownalliance.com/plottwist/ABOUT THIS SERIESBetrayed.

Today, Tilly teaches the friends all about someone named Joseph! Joseph had some crazy dreams and a big family. Check out the whole story in this episode!And for more great stories, don't forget to look for Stories of the Bible from Saddleback Kids!“And we know that in all things, God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8:28, NLT)Genesis 37 The same question gets asked in a variety of forms: Where is God when it hurts? Why do bad things happen to good people? How can a good and loving God allow suffering?Joseph could have asked these same questions; maybe he did. Mistreated and abused by his brothers, and eventually sold into slavery by them, Joseph could have easily chosen to believe that this was all evidence that God didn't love him or wasn't “on his side.” Isn't that the same place our minds are often tempted to go when we face difficulties or troubles? “God must not care about me. If He did, these things wouldn't be happening to me.” This seems to be especially true if our troubles come about because of other people's meanness or sin, while we were simply trying to live our lives following God.Joseph was living a life of obedience even as a young boy. He wasn't perfect, as evidenced by his somewhat boastful interactions with his brothers, where he relayed his dreams of ruling over them. But he definitely didn't deserve to be thrown in a pit and then sold as a slave by his own family members! Can you imagine how he must have felt when his brothers ripped off his colorful robe? This robe represented the special bond he had with his father and his brothers, in their jealousy, destroyed it.Have you ever seen something you treasured be ripped apart before your eyes? Maybe it was a tangible object like Joseph's robe, or maybe it was a long-treasured dream that you saw crumble. In those moments, it's easy to ask, “Where are you, God? Don't you see me?”One thing we can learn from Joseph's life is that God never leaves us. Even when we can't see Him or feel Him, He is there and He is working on our behalf. Joseph must have wondered what God was up to as he was being led off to Egypt as a slave, but he didn't waiver in his trust and obedience to God.Questions to think about:How does it feel to be mistreated when you have done nothing wrong?What do you learn from Joseph's life that can help you respond to people who mistreat you or are jealous of you?Do you ever struggle with envy like Joseph's brothers did? If so, what are some healthy ways you can deal with it?

Some of the greatest moments of faith occur not when life is shifting, but when nothing is changing — when we're still waiting on God.Joseph's story is one of the Bible's clearest portraits of faith. In today's passage, it moves in two parts: first, Joseph is in a difficult place but still speaks God's truth; second, even after his faithful obedience, nothing changes — reminding us that even when our hardship does not resolve, our call is to keep courageously waiting on God.

Joseph John Gurney was massively influential to the Friends community, but his story, theology, and values stood out from those of other influential Quakers like William Barclay and George Fox. Listen in for Jay and Jamie's take on Gurney's life and times, and how they informed the modern experience of Quakerism and Christian faith as a whole.Dr. Jay David Miller teaches English at George Fox University and serves as an associate editor for the journal Quaker Religious Thought.Dr. Jamie Johnson is dean for spiritual life and a university pastor at George Fox University.

Pastor Abney uses the Japanese art of kintsugi, which repairs broken pottery with gold to make it more beautiful, as a metaphor for God's work in our lives.

Family was God’s idea—and He desires to bless yours for generations to come. But every family has its share of struggles, pain, and regrets.

Pastor Corey Abney focuses on Joseph's journey from profound hurt to deep healing, highlighting how God uses the difficult circumstances and brokenness around us to bring about internal healing and mature us.Key Scripture- Genesis 42-45Topics Covered- Family Dysfunction & Favoritism- Consequences of Betrayal & Guilt- God's Sovereignty & Providence- Forgiveness & Reconciliation- Spiritual Growth through Adversity- God Uses Brokenness for Healing

Scripture: Genesis 39In this message, we explore the life of Joseph and how God remained present even in the darkest seasons of his life. Though sold into slavery and falsely imprisoned, Joseph's story reminds us that God's silence is not His absence.Key Points:Family dysfunction doesn't disqualify God's purpose – Joseph's trials began with generational brokenness, yet God still had a plan.God's presence changes everything – Genesis 39:2-6 shows that the Lord was with Joseph and caused all he did to succeed, even in slavery.Favor follows faithfulness – Joseph excelled because of his integrity and diligence, not because of ideal circumstances.Temptation is relentless, but God provides a way out – Joseph resisted the advances of Potiphar's wife, modeling obedience even when it cost him.Sin undersells its consequences – Disobedience in the palace could have cost Joseph everything. Instead, he chose the hard path of righteousness.Victory begins with vigilance – Proverbs 14:16 and 22:3 remind us that wisdom avoids evil and takes refuge in God's truth.God is working even in waiting – Psalm 27:14, Psalm 130:5-6, and James 5:7-8 encourage us to trust God's timing.There are no coincidences in God's plan – What may look like setbacks were divinely orchestrated setups for Joseph's future role in saving a nation (Psalm 105:16-17).Main Truth: God is present in your prison, and His plan is unfolding—even when it feels like you're going backward.

The Story of Joseph – The Importance of the Pit | Genesis 37:3–28 | SermonWhen the pit feels like the end, it might just be God's beginning. In this message, we explore the powerful story of Joseph and how his journey through betrayal, dysfunction, and silence reveals the hidden work of God.Much like Mount St. Helens appeared stable before its eruption, Joseph's family looked blessed on the outside—but beneath the surface was resentment, favoritism, and hatred. This sermon shows how:Sin leads to dysfunction (Genesis 37:3–11)Dysfunction doesn't cancel God's purpose (Genesis 37:12–27)God works through the pit, not around it (Genesis 37:28, 37:36)Even when God seems silent, He is never absent. The suffering Joseph experienced was not wasted—it was the very path to salvation for many.Scriptures Covered:Genesis 37:3–28 — Joseph's dreams, rejection, and betrayalGenesis 27:41 — The pattern of family dysfunctionPsalm 105:16–17 — God's purpose behind famine and sufferingRomans 5:1–5 — How affliction produces endurance, character, and hopeJames 1:2–3, 12 — Endurance leads to maturity and the crown of lifeKey Points:What is hidden in our lives will eventually come out. Deal with sin before it erupts.God's silence is not His absence. He is always working behind the scenes.The pit is not a place of punishment but a place of preparation.Jesus is the greater Joseph—betrayed, sold, stripped, and rejected—who brought ultimate redemption.
