Following the life of Joseph is an extraordinary journey of seeing a life that exemplifies our Christ’s command. The command is found at the conclusion of the vineyard illustration given by Jesus in Matthew 20:16: Matthew 20:16“So the last will be first, and the first last.” Now aside from church members using this in frequency at a potluck meal, the idea is pretty simple. Pursue a path of humility and service while entrusting God to reward you in glory. We should all live ou

As we embark on a journey through the life of Joseph, we need helpful tips for reading through Genesis 37-50.

To do so, I actively avoid inserting my life, actions, or family (they are thankful for this) into illustrations. But on occasion, I come to an impasse where my experiences and the text collide. A few Sundays ago, in the text of 1 Peter 2, I shared my experiences on trying to suffer well under unjust accusations. For those that missed the illustration, I’ll recount it here
