Years ago, early in my ministry, I was invited to conduct a Week of Spiritual Emphasis at a Christian elementary school. As the week progressed, it became obvious to me that two of the teachers were having a serious conflict. Their negative attitudes toward one another regularly

Joseph started with dreams of greatness only to be thrown into a hole in the ground and sold into slavery by his brothers. He became the head servant for a government official, only to be falsely accused of rape and thrown into prison. Now he’s the second most powerful man in

Genesis 46 brings the story of Joseph full circle. Long ago, Jacob’s mourning over his dead son turned to a dull ache that wouldn’t go away. Now, there’s a huge lump in his throat as he learns his son is alive after all. But will they still have a relationship after all these

Joseph was very happy with the arrival of his extended family. After the initial festivities, he decided to help them with the choice of a place to live. In view of Pharaoh's appreciation of Joseph, the probability was great that he would offer to his brothers important offices

This chapter helps us understand Jacob's character and the importance of family relationships. Jacob was an affectionate father who wept over Joseph's disappearance and grieved when Simeon was imprisoned in Egypt. Jacob, now a loving grandfather, kisses and embraces his

Genesis 49 brings us a serious warning: Our deeds and choices have a decided influence on our lives and on our descendants. Many times we are surprised to see how our children Christian and Giovani have behaviors and defects similar to ours. We know that drawing a path of their

The last chapter of Genesis opens with Joseph grieving over the death of his father Jacob, the third of the great patriarchs of the book. It is a chapter of great pain and sorrow personally for Joseph who had been separated from his father for so long. Both he and Jacob suffered

The very first effort of Satan to overthrow God’s law—undertaken among the sinless inhabitants of heaven—seemed for a time to be crowned with success. A vast number of the angels were seduced; but Satan’s apparent triumph resulted in defeat and loss, separation from God, and

Although the Israelites had been in Egypt for more than 400 years—and barely knew their family names anymore—God still knew them by name. And He was preparing them to hear Him speak His own name (YHWH) in an audible voice at Sinai. What an amazing story Exodus is. To the Hebrews

The testimony I am going to share with you is a testimony of our God, Who is the Great Restorer and Healer of a bitter and broken heart. I was born into an Adventist home, and my father was a pastor. He was loved and highly respected by our church family and everyone thought we

In Exodus 3, God tells Moses to go back to Egypt and lead the Israelites to the promised land. That calling might look like an easy feat to accomplish since Moses grew up in the Egyptian royal family. However, "easy" was definitely not the case. Moses was in an awkward situation

The dialogue between Moses and God illustrates how much God wants us to experience His work: preparing souls for eternal life—including our own. Did God need Moses to free the Hebrews from Egypt? No. Does God need us to free others from sin? No. Even when He calls us as agents to

I walked away from the class meeting, disappointed. "Lord, I thought you wanted me to run for Class Pastor. So, why did I lose?" I was genuinely confused; not angry. I had surrendered to God and wanted His plans fulfilled. I knew the person who won loved Jesus and would do a good

In Exodus 6, the Lord covenants to establish the children of Israel, just as He established their forefathers. He tells them, through Moses, that He will remove their burdens, rescue them, redeem them, and restore their heritage. Ultimately, He wants to be their Lord, their

Does God place any limitations on our ability to minister for Him? He could have rocks do His bidding (Luke 19:40), but He has chosen to allow us to be co-laborers with Him. What a privilege and honor! And as the saying goes, God doesn’t call the qualified, but qualifies the

Looking back on the reading we ask ourselves, What do frogs, lice and flies have in common? What might they symbolize in our spiritual life? Though held up highly and worshiped by the Egyptian people, the frogs would soon become a curse to them. The magicians tried standing up

I want to share an amazing story about a small group of young people who heard God calling them to reach others living in a very difficult and dangerous area. In spite of the risks, these precious young people put their trust in the Lord and said, "I Will Go!" Along the Indian

The seventh plague of hail rained down death upon the land of Egypt, but “in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no hail.” This is a reminder that God is in the business of exercising His power to protect His people, not to harm them. Psalm 91:9-10

Exodus 10 tells the story of the Pharaoh trying to keep the Israelite slaves from leaving Egypt, and of some of the different plagues that God sends to convince the Pharaoh. However, the Pharaoh continues to harden his heart and try to make compromises with Moses about the

Abraham returned to Canaan “very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.” Lot was still with him, and again they came to Bethel, and pitched their tents by the altar which they had before erected. They soon found that increased possessions brought increased trouble. In the midst
