PRAYER - "Who Am I?" 

 There are times when we all feel that we are unworthy to serve the Lord. But God will give us courage to fulfill every task. He never calls us to do a job without empowering us to do it. Moses was VERY reluctant to accept the call of God to deliver Israel from Pharaoh, but God had answers to all his objections. God will surely enable us.

Exodus 3:11 - "And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?"  Let's read the story. Bible and Commentary

PRINCIPALS - "Goshen"

Joseph knew God had put him through his trials in Egypt to preserve the posterity of Israel. "...it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt." Joseph gave them the fertile land of Goshen.

Genesis 45:10 - "And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children's children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast."  Let's read the story.  Bible

PRINCIPLES - "Enslaved to Save Lives"
Joseph sent his brothers away with the money they paid him hidden in their grain sacks, including Joseph's silver cup in Benjamin's sack. Then his servants arrested them and charged them with theft. But Joseph dropped the charges. "I am Joseph," he weepingly confessed. Their old sins against Joseph turned out for everyone's good. Same for us. God has a glorious outcome for all our sufferings..
Genesis 45:5 - "Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life."  Let's read the story. Bible and Commentary



PROPHECIES - "Jacob Prophesies to Joseph"

Although God forewarned Abraham that his descendants would suffer bondage for hundreds of years, He never planned for the children of Israel to stay in Egypt permanently. God raised up a holy nation in the midst of the hostile political climate of the Pharaohs, greatest kings in the world at that time. Here is the lesson: This world is not our home. God has a better land for all His children.

Genesis 48:21 - "And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers."  Let's read the story. Bible and Commentary

PRAYER - "Call Unto Me"
While preaching a revival in the south a family came to the church to visit.  They seemed receptive to the message and faith was high. The woman came forward requesting, "Please pray for me". I invited the church  to come forward for prayer. As they came, the wisdom of the Holy Ghost spoke through  me, "This womas is missing a lung".  I told her, "Tonight God is healing  you." Upon prayer and the laying on of hands, immediately, the woman cried, "I can breathe!" Within days, her doctor confirmed the dramatic miracle. She could breath normally now. The doctor was astonished to find that she also had TWO beautiful pink lungs. Yes, God is the Healer, but He is also still the Creator. Watch our Video.
Jeremiah 33:3 - "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things."  Let's read the story. Bible

PRINCIPALS - "Cave of Machpelah"

Sarah died in Hebron about 3700 years ago. There Abraham bought the field and cave of Machpelah from the sons of Heth to bury her. Today, the cave sits under a 2000-year-old building. Around 700 years ago, Muslims turned the place into a Mosque. Israel retook the property in 1967, but Moslems still manage it. It also contains the graves of Abraham, Isaac, Rebekah, Jacob and Leah.

Genesis 23:19-20 - "Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan."  Let's read the story. Bible

God promised Shechem to Abraham and his descendants. Years later, Jacob bought land there for his family. Shechem became a highly significant city throughout Bible days. Joseph visited his brethren there before being sold to slavery. Later, he was buried there. Many Bible stories occurred there, but Palestinians now control it (modern Nablus).

 Genesis 33:19 - "And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for an hundred pieces of money."   Let's read the story. Bible

PRINCIPLES - "You Made Me Stink"

Jacob settled family and flocks on promised land in Shechem. But daughter Dinah was raped by the son of the king of Shechem. Jacob's sons mindlessly murdered and plundered the entire city. Over-reacting to tragedy doubles the loss.Genesis 34:30 - 'And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I being few in number, they shall gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house." Let's read the story.Bible
