Genesis 44:1-45:38: Moved by Compassion
We come to the climax of the story of Joseph, where, seeing Judah’s compassion for Benjamin and their father, finally reveals who he is and forgives his brothers. In this week’s message, Pastor Scott Gourley shares what we can learn about forgiveness and how we need to be able to forgive others.
Genesis 42:1-38: What Has God Done to Us?
Continuing in the story of Joseph, we come to where his brothers go to Egypt to ask for grain from Joseph, though they do not recognize it is him. In this week’s message, Pastor Scott Gourley shares how God does things on His own time and for His own purpose.
Genesis 41:1-57: Christ, Our Loving Deliverer and Redeemer
Continuing in the story of Joseph, we come to his deliverance from slavery and being put in charge of Egypt to help deal with the coming famine. In this week’s message, Pastor Scott Gourley explains what we can learn from Joseph’s redemption.
Genesis 39:1-23: The Lord’s Abiding Presence
We get back into the story of Joseph this week, with him going from one form of suffering to another after being exalted. In this week’s message, Pastor Scott Gourley explains how we can learn from Joseph’s story that God is with us in the midst of our suffering and how we can rely on Him in the midst of it.
Genesis 38:1-30: Redemptive Grace for the Worst of Sinners
As we continue in the over-arcing story of Joseph, we come to Judah and Tamar, a very clear story of the ugliness of sin. In this week’s message, Pastor Scott Gourley shares how even in this horrible story, God’s redemptive love shines through.
Genesis 37:1-36: The Unforeseen Consequences of a Dreamer’s Arrogance
Most Christians are familiar with the story of Joseph, but many of us have a tendency to overlook the significance of his story, especially the early parts of it. In this week’s message, Pastor Scott Gourley shares what we can learn from both the arrogance of Joseph and the hatred that lead to the actions of his brothers.
John 14:1-7: The Exclusivity of Jesus
Many professing Christians are finding it more and more difficult to hold to the belief that Jesus is the only way to heaven. The Bible is clear about it, but our sinful hearts have a tendency to want to see leeway there for the sake of our friends and neighbors. In this week’s message, Pastor Scott Gourley shares how important it is to hold to the fact that Jesus is the only way.
John 17:13-19: The Word of God
It can be really easy to lose heart when watching the way this world is headed. If we are to hold onto Him, we need something to which we can be anchored. In this week’s message, Pastor Scott Gourley shares how God’s Word helps to guard us and transform us in light of this present time.
Genesis 36:1-37:2: Two Sons, Two Nations, Two Lands, and Two Lists; But One Promise
We often tend to tune out when we come to Scripture that is just a list of the generations of different families. Thing is, these verses were included in the Bible for a reason, and if we really look at all Scripture as being God breathed, then we need to include these passages. In this week’s message, Pastor Scott Gourley shows us just what we can learn from the list of Esau’s family in Genesis 36.
Genesis 35:16-29: Death Defeated, Life Eternal
As we continue to wrap up the focus on Israel and move to Joseph, we find the effects of sin following Israel’s family, but the promise of new life does as well. In this week’s message, Pastor Scott Gourley unpacks both the curse of sin and the promise of life fulfilled in Christ’s death and resurrection.
