How should we think about material prosperity? Should we desire it? Work for it? Pray for it? In this Sunday's passage we see a picture of prosperity provided by the Lord. We'll consider how and why the Lord prospers us and others around us.
No one likes to wait. In our passage this Sunday, we'll see that the Lord always works good! But not on our timeline—in his perfect timing. Indeed, we'll see how the Lord sent, prepared, and raised up Joseph at just the right time for his good, redemptive purpose.
This Sunday, God's word takes us back into the story of Joseph. We'll consider the secret of success for the one following the Lord. What causes us to succeed? And what does success look like in our lives as we walk with the Lord?

We begin our new spring/summer sermon series in the concluding portion of Genesis. We'll recap the overall message of Genesis as we prepare this season to hear and grow from God's word through the story of Joseph.
Who is responsible for our success? How does our work relate with God's work? This Sunday's sermon text might seem foreign to us. It's an ancient business deal involving herds, breeding, and a little superstition, too. And yet at the foundation we'll see two men not unlike us today who are striving for material success no matter the cost.
