Genesis started in a GARDEN. 

It ended in a COFFIN.

In Genesis 1, things were looking great. God had created the world, and said that all He had created was good. But things got dark in Genesis 3.

Following man's sin in Genesis 3, a roller coaster of depravity followed. In Genesis 4, Cain killed his brother, and things didn't improve through the end of the book.

In today's sermon, we will consider Genesis 50 (the final words of the last chapter).

Questions That We'll Answer:

A) What does Genesis tell us about mankind?

B) What does Genesis tell us about God?

C) How does Genesis set the stage for the rest of Scripture?

Genesis: The Final Words Of The First Book

They meant it for evil. But God used it for good.

In Genesis 45, Joseph's brothers stood before him - brothers that had once sold him off to slave traders, and then told their father that he was dead. They had acted wickedly! And in a 'twist of fate,' their lives were now in his hands.

But was it really a 'twist of fate?' Was their encounter just an amazing coincidence? That will be the focus of today's study.

Questions That We'll Answer:

A) What is 'providence,' and how does that word apply to Gen. 45?

B) Why didn't Joseph exact revenge, when given the opportunity?

C) What was God's purpose in the events of Joseph's life?

Genesis: God's Providence In Evil's Path

In Genesis 40, Joseph was in prison.

Now, he did not deserve to be there. He'd done nothing wrong. And he must have wondered what part his shackles played in God's plans. Hadn't God given him a dream of a great and glorious future? Well, in today's text, two other men would have dreams - and their interpretation would play a huge role in Joseph's story.

Questions That We'll Answer:

A) What were the dreams of the Butler and Baker all about?

B) Did these men deserve to be in jail? If so, what had they done?

C) What would the outcome of their dreams mean for them and Joseph?

Genesis: Dreams In The Darkness

Joseph's story started poorly.

Within moments of being introduced in Scripture, Joseph was thrown into a pit by his brothers. And not long after, he found himself in prison. So, where was God when calamity struck? That will be the focus of today's study in Genesis 37.

Questions That We'll Answer:

A) Why did Joseph's brothers hate him so much?

B) Why did God allow Joseph to face so many hardships?

C) Where is God when our own circumstances grow dark?
