Genesis 47-48

October 28, 2020 Nate Holdridge

Thanks for joining me on this study through the Book of Genesis. If you get out your Bible or turn to Genesis chapter 47, we're continuing to look at the life of Joseph together. Now last time we were in Genesis, we saw Joseph reconciled to his brothers. His brothers reconciled to him. At first reading, it almost seems as if Joseph is punishing his brothers for their past behavior, their persecution of him, their throwing him into a pit and selling him into slavery punishing them for their jealousy.

Right now, we’re continuing our journey through the life of Joseph here in Genesis chapter 42 is where we’ll pick up the teaching today. The situation, of course, was laid out for us in the previous chapters. In chapter 41, Joseph miraculously, meteorically ascended to the position at Pharaoh’s right hand. He became, overnight, the second most powerful man in all of Ancient Egypt, the powerful nation of that particular region.

Today we're in the book of Genesis chapter 35. If you turn there in your Bibles. Genesis chapter 35. Now this chapter really is the conclusion to the journey of, and story of Jacob. His sons will be the focus of the rest of the book of Genesis, especially his son, Joseph, and also his son Judah.

Genesis 32-34

September 2, 2020 Nate Holdridge

In our continuation through the Book of Genesis today, chapters 32-34, we’ll be looking at the story of Jacob returning to the land of promise after years on the run. And before we get into that, I just want to thank you for joining and continuing through the Book of Genesis with me.

Genesis 29-31

August 26, 2020 Nate Holdridge

Where we left off in our last study in the book of Genesis, we saw Jacob clearly and obviously chosen by God. He of course had manipulated his way into receiving his father's blessing. But then after going on the run from his brother, Esau, God met Jacob at Bethel. The ladder of God was lowered in his vision or dream from heaven down to Jacob and angels from God ascending and descending upon the ladder.

Faith Worships Only God (Hebrews 11:21)

December 10, 2019 Nate Holdridge

The author to the Hebrews knew a Christian life mixed with even the lightest persecution would be difficult. He imagined his audience, outcast Jewish Christians, no longer accepted in their old Jewish communities, in need of help for their journey. So he told his hearers to live by faith. He quoted Habakkuk, "the just shall live by faith" (Habakkuk 2:4). (6 minutes/1400 Words)
