Dear friends,
Joseph has his first dramatic confrontation with his brothers who sold him into slavery. Read this classic story in Genesis 42 and look for these themes found in the following questions.
1. How do you see their guilty conscience showing itself? Look for the incriminating accusatory statements.
2. How do you see God working out His providential purposes through this story?
3. How do we know Joseph never lost his tender affection for his brothers?
4. Why did Joseph take such a hard attitude toward his brothers?
5. Why did Jacob not let Benjamin go down to Egypt?
I hope these thoughts will help you to think clearly through this chapter, and
see how the Lord works out His own purposes through the decisions of ordinary people. How does your life reflect and engage these universal themes of guilt and the will of God?
See you Sunday,
Lee

Lee Copeland spoke on “I’m a Stranger Here Myself” (1 Chron. 29:10-15, Matt 25:31-46). Why have Biblical theology if our life is not reflective of the character of Christ? For starters, how do we treat the stranger? Christ accepted you; do you accept others He has called as well?

Dave Henderson from Kirkaldy, Scotland, preached on Jesus’ miracle at the wedding in Cana, turning the water into wine. The wedding gets to the heart of what God is all about–he wants an intimate relationship with us far beyond what we ever expected. Also, when we have a need, he can provide in abundance.
Dave’s ministry in Scotland, Peacekeepers, reaches out to depressed and oppressed people with the promise “My peace I leave with you.”
