A New King, who knew not Joseph

Exodus: 1:8-14A New King, Who Knew Not Joseph If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Exodus, chapter 1 as we continue in this great book together. As we said the last time, Exodus is Moses’ sequel to the epic story of Genesis. Exodus resumes Genesis account of God’s sovereignty and His good providence in the lives of the patriarchs. Moses goes out of his way to connect these books. When you see the genealogy, which begins the book of Exodus, it connects us with the story of Jacob. When we look at verse 7 and the reflection on the fact that the sons of Israel were fruitful and increased greatly and multiplied and became exceedingly mighty, it not only connects us with Adam and the creation where that ordinance is given to Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply.…

Paul’s Prayer Report

Romans 1:8-10 Paul’s Prayer Report If you have your Bibles I’d invite you to turn with me to Romans, chapter 1 and we’ll look at verses 8 through 10.

It’s about what He does, and especially about the person and work of His Son. It’s the gospel concerning Christ, even as Paul speaks in this prayer report today, and it’s a gospel that radically changes us. It changes us; it changes our purpose; it changes our…

Genesis 27:1-29 A Blessing Stolen If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Genesis, chapter 27. As you do so, I want to invite the Williams to join me at the front of the sanctuary after the service, and for all of you to come and give them the right hand of fellowship and express to them your support and prayer support for their ministry in Austria. Genesis 27. We have been for a number of weeks in the life of Isaac. And tonight we begin a new series in the life of Jacob. The focus turns now from Isaac the father, who will live and linger for many, many years to come. It turns now from Isaac now to Jacob, his son. As we looked at Genesis 25 we saw the legacy of Ishmael recorded there. But we also saw two very important events in the line of Isaac. First, we saw in…
