Part 5 – Joseph – A Journey from The Pit to the Palace!

Genesis 37-50

2 …he brought their father a bad report about them. Genesis 37:2.

3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than any of his other sons, because he had been born to him in his old age; and he made an ornate robe for him. 4 When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him. Genesis 37:3-4

23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Proverbs 4:23

I. The Pit: God Is At Work Even In Your (Genesis 37)

19 “Here comes that dreamer!” they said to each other. 20 “Come now, let’s kill him and throw him into one of these cisterns and say that a ferocious animal devoured him. Then we’ll see what comes of his dreams.” Genesis 37:19-20

35 All his sons and daughters came to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. “No,” he said, “I will continue to mourn until I join my son in the grave.” So his father wept for him. Genesis 37:35

II. Potiphar’s House: Choosing Over (Genesis 39)

2 The Lord was with Joseph so that he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. 3 When his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord gave him success in everything he did, 4 Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. Genesis 39:2-4

6 …Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, 7 and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph Genesis 39:6b-7a

9 No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” Genesis 39:9

III. The Prison: Finding In The (Genesis 39:20–40:23)

20 But while Joseph was there in the prison, 21 the Lord was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. Genesis 39:20b-21

16 “I cannot do it,” Joseph replied to Pharaoh, “but God will give Pharaoh the answer he desires.” Genesis 41:16

IV. The Palace: Fulfilling A Divine (Genesis 41)

50 Before the years of famine came, two sons were born to Joseph… 51 Joseph named his firstborn Manasseh and said, “It is because God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father’s household.” 52 The second son he named Ephraim and said, “It is because God has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering.” Genesis 41:50-51

57 And all the world came to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph, because the famine was severe everywhere. Genesis 41:57.

V. The Power of Forgiveness: Offering and (Genesis 42–50)

26 When Joseph came home, they presented to him the gifts they had brought into the house, and they bowed down before him to the ground. Genesis 43:26

33 “Now then, please let your servant remain here as my lord’s slave in place of the boy, and let the boy return with his brothers. Genesis 44:33

4 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Come close to me.” When they had done so, he said, “I am your brother Joseph, the one you sold into Egypt! 5 And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you. Genesis 45:4-5

19 Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God? 20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. 21 So then, don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your children.” And he reassured them and spoke kindly to them. Genesis 50:19-21
