The story of Joseph teaches us about God:

 

  • God’s sovereignty over everything
  • God’s faithfulness to His word
  • and God’s mercy

 

The story of Joseph helps us understand the Gospel of Jesus

 

And the Gospel of Jesus gives us a decision to make!

The account of Abraham’s son Isaac…

  • .. is a selective account which shows God fulfilling his promises to Abraham
