Sermon
Genesis 44
To Know The Heart
The story of Joseph continues the lineage of the people of Israel - God’s chosen people. It is clear from beginning to end that God is more faithful to His people than they are to Him. We will see, in the life and times of Joseph, that in God’s sovereign plan nothing is wasted. In the end, our lives, like Joseph’s, will prove our great need for God’s salvation and that his plans and purposes for our lives are good.

Prayer
Father, in the days of the Judges, there was no spiritual unity in Israel, but most discouraging, we learn that God’s people were doing what was right in their own eyes instead of what was right in God’s eyes. They fought for their own desires rather than God’s. Father, let that not be said of our church in these days. May every member so hunger for the will of God to be done in and through our church that we would constantly be seeking to know it and yearning to do it along with our Savior Jesus by the power of the Spirit. Thank you, Father. In Jesus’ name. Amen!
