Buried // From the Pit to the Palace: The story of Joseph and the Sovereignty of God / 13. Buried // 2 In the Pit - Stephen Dawson // Genesis 37:12-36
13. Buried // 2 In the Pit - Stephen Dawson // Genesis 37:12-36
This sermon series on Joseph's life is not just about Joseph, but is really about Jesus and His plan of redemption for all who believe. And as we study Joseph's life, we can see how God works in our own lives to bring about his ultimate plan and purpose.
Joseph's betrayal at the hands of his brothers shows us how God works in the midst of difficult and seemingly impossible circumstances. Just as God was with Joseph every step of the way, even in the pit and in slavery, so too He is with us in our own trials and hardships. And just as God used Joseph's difficult circumstances to ultimately bring about His glory and salvation, so too does God use our own trials and hardships for His ultimate purpose and glory.
