Joseph never complains within his situation, and he never compromises his character and integrity. Even though he is greatly tempted and tested, he trusts himself to a God who is faithfully working out all His plans in Joseph’s life.Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks による

Jewelers wisely display diamonds against black velvet, knowing the dark background highlights the beauty of the gems. Such is this chapter—the sad, sordid story of Judah serves as the dark background which highlights the luster of Joseph’s life.Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks による

From what we have seen in the last few chapters, this was not a collection of amazingly spiritual men. This was actually a severely dysfunctional family. God will use this family, but not because they were such great or spiritual men, but because He chose them by His grace alone.Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks による

It is good Jacob came to the Promised Land, and he settled there. But he came short of full obedience, because it seems God directed him to return to Bethel.” This lack of full obedience will have huge consequences on Jacob’s life.Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks による

God gave Jacob a new name, and a limp. Jacob would remember his being conquered by God with every step he took for the rest of his life. This was a small price to pay for such a great gift. God wants to develop a godly confidence in Jacob.Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks による

God blessed Jacob, but it was not because Jacob was especially good. He was absolutely in process, just as we are. It was because of the promises God made to Jacob and the covenant made to Abraham.Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks による

The God of Bethel is a God who does concern himself with the things of earth, not a God who shuts himself up in heaven, but God who hath a ladder fixed between heaven and earth” (Spurgeon). And Jesus made it clear that He is that ladder!Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks による

In this tragic story, everyone lost. Each of the main characters – Isaac, Rebekah, Esau, and Jacob – schemed and maneuvered in human wisdom and energy, rejecting God’s word and wisdom. Nevertheless, God still accomplished His purpose. The tragedy was that each of the participants suffered, because they insisted on working against God’s word and wis…

Isaac walked in the same paths of his father Abraham; with similar highs and the lows. Altars and tents marked Abraham’s life, demonstrating a life of worship and trust. Isaac lived that, calling on the name of the LORD, and enjoyed the additional blessings of God’s provision through water and wells.…

This chapter goes beyond history into theology. It gives us a picture of the Heavenly Father getting a bride for His Son. The church is compared to a bride; and during this present age, the Holy Spirit is calling people to trust Christ and be “married to…Him.” The elements involved in the marriage of Isaac and Rebekah are also involved in the marri…

Abraham passed from the scene, being one of the most important men of the Bible. By many measures his life was not perfect, but he was a man of faith, who had a real relationship with God, of remarkable obedience, and a true friend of God. Abraham was a great man, but he was only a man. God’s work passed on from one generation to the next. Now, God…

In Genesis 12 we see God call Abram to crazy faith as he leaves everything familiar and safe to depend on God's promises. This is the same faith and call that God calls has for those who apprentice Jesus.Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks による

As the old hymn reminds us: “Trust and obey, for there's no other way; To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.” Rebellion carries with it consequences, but God’s desire for our lives is to bring blessings—and that only comes through faith in Him, from which obedience pours out.Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks による

The tenth chapter of Genesis… stands absolutely alone in ancient literature, without a remote parallel, even among the Greeks, where we find the closest approach to a distribution of peoples in genealogical framework… The Table of Nations remains an astonishing accurate document” (William F.

How do we address sin in others life? Many times the way we address or point it out cause shame and guilt, but love covers all sin. If we choose to walk in love it will leave to redemption from the sin we feel so trapped in.Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks による

Just as God made a covenant with Noah and the sign of the rainbow…we have a covenant with Jesus Christ by His blood. Have you entered into a covenant with Jesus, by His blood?Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks による

God told Noah when to go into the ark, but he did not tell him when he should come out again. The Lord told Noah when to go in, for it was necessary for him to know that; but he did not tell him when he should come out, for it was unnecessary that he should know that. God always lets his people know what is practically for their good.…

God dealt with Cain in terms of loving confrontation instead of automatic affirmation. God made it clear that Cain would be accepted if he did well. Of course, God knew the answers to the questions He asked, but He wanted Cain to know and to resist the pull toward violence and anger within.Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks による

Satan’s first attack was leveled against the Word of God. If he could make Eve confused about what God said, or to doubt what God said, then his battle was partially won.Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks による

If Jesus’ death and resurrection were just as He said...what does He say about you? Because of the death & resurrection of Jesus, and our faith in Jesus…nothing could ever change what He says about us!Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks による

The biblical concept of marriage is based on the dynamic of oneness yet distinction. A husband and wife can truly come together in a one-flesh relationship, yet they must be joined. It is a spiritual fact, but the benefits of that oneness are not gained by accident or by chance, it is something that "becomes."…

The Sabbath serves as a revelation of God's rest, and through Jesus' finished work, humanity can enter into that rest."…
