A Great Bible Study About Joseph – And About Our God

We are all familiar with the biblical account of Joseph, favored son of Jacob, right?  Joseph’s is a story of God’s divine intervention in the most unlikely of circumstances, a story of redeeming the lost years of our lives, and of the beauty of forgiveness.  And, it is also a story about a remarkable, God-blessed family who, well, was more than a little messy – and messed up!  The 12 sons of Jacob had their struggles and their sins, that’s for sure.  The chosen ones of God, selected to be the forefathers of the mighty nation of Israel, were a very broken selection of people.

If you let it, it can also be life-changing. Continue reading →

In fact, to shed brilliant light on this eye-opening concept, pastor and author Tommy Brown has written a book entitled “The Seven Money Types: Discover How God Wired You to Handle Money”. Published by Zondervan in the spring of 2017, this book can easily be compared to Gary Chapman’s “Five Love Languages” series, only for finances instead of relationships. Continue reading →
