Sermon
Genesis 45
A Picture of Reconciliation
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 in heaven, and your name is powerful and holy. We worship you and your holy name for your honor and our blessing. And it is for the glory of your name that we live and serve you. It is your sovereign kingship upon this earth that we want everyone to recognize and bow themselves humbly to. It is your will that we pray for and your power to accomplish it where we live and work and play. Father, we know that you have given us our jobs and the money that we earn. We may go to the store and buy our food but really you are the one who gives us our daily bread. Thank you. Now Father, forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Lead us not into temptation and deliver us from the evil one. Thanks again Father…help us love you the way you love us. In Jesus name amen!
