Scripture: Genesis 50
Wayne Stiles teaches from the death of Joseph in Genesis 50 that we can trust that the details of our present struggle serve as vital parts of God’s grand plan. We can die with unfulfilled dreams because God’s promises extend beyond the grave.
Scripture: Genesis 49
Wayne Stiles teaches from Genesis 49 that tomorrow’s privileges can never substitute for today’s obedience. Rather than presume on the future, believers in Christ should remember that blessings follow those who dig in and endure faithfully.
Scripture: Genesis 47-48
Wayne Stiles teaches from the life of Joseph in Genesis 47-48 that we should be shrewd with the world so as to benefit God’s work, and God can use our moments of greatest despair for tremendous blessing.
Scripture: Genesis 45:16-46:30
Wayne Stiles teaches from Genesis 45-46 how God’s comfort is when we’re afraid to follow Him in a season of uncomfortable change. The four promises God made to Jacob are also the Lord’s promises to us.
Scripture: Genesis 44:1-45:15
Wayne Stiles teaches from the life of Joseph that the peace we long for only comes through personal sacrifice—as we learn to look at every event in life through the filter of God’s sovereignty.
Scripture: Genesis 43
Wayne Stiles teaches from the life of Joseph in Genesis 43 that God never asks us to understand His sovereign will. Instead, just trust Him. What’s more, God never wants us to compare ourselves with others. Instead, just trust Him.
Scripture: Genesis 42
Wayne Stiles teaches from the life of Joseph in Genesis 42 that God will use a variety of circumstances to awaken our hearts to Him. What precious person or thing is God calling you to surrender to Him?
Scripture: Genesis 41
Wayne Stiles teaches from Genesis 41 that our toughest tests aren’t trials but blessings that draw us away from our walk with God. God defines true success as faithfulness.
Scripture: Genesis 40
Wayne Stiles teaches from Genesis 40 that God’s priority is the work He does in us rather than through us. That’s why His plans for us include preparation and waiting, and God sees our faithfulness in obscurity as preparation for increasing influence.
Scripture: Genesis 39
Wayne Stiles teaches from Joseph’s experience in Genesis 39 that we need to see all sin through the eyes of God and have a healthy distrust of ourselves with regard to temptation. What seem like unjust setbacks are part of God’s plan for our progress.
