Sermon

Genesis 46

Walking With A God Who Is Near

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, you are awesome for a lot of reasons…especially for hearing our prayers. Jesus taught his first disciples, Father, to pray with faith…”Ask and it shall be given unto you…seek and you shall find…knock and it shall be opened unto you.” “Believe me”, He says to us. Yes, we know that prayer is a conversation with you, Father. But it is also our way of asking for your help…seeking for your wisdom and discernment on certain issues…and getting closed doors to open wide concerning your will. So we pray. Sometimes we get emotional. Sometimes we are simply quiet thinking our requests to you. But we are addressing you, Father, because we need you to intervene…we need you to heal…we need you to protect our loved ones…we need you to provide our daily bread…we need you to do something good for our friends in the faith that are going through some very hard times. We need you to bless our spouses with renewed faith and hope and love and joy that only you can give. Thanks, Father, for giving us the gift of prayer.  We will be talking with you soon. In Jesus’ Name amen!!!
