Joseph: God’s Faithfulness in Adversity
(Genesis 37-50)
September 15, 2024
Genesis 37:5-28
Pastor Jorge A. Salazar
This weekend, my message is titled “Hostility in the Promise.” It’s not that God’s promises themselves contain hostility, but rather that, in the journey between receiving a promise and seeing its fulfillment, we often face hostility and challenges.
As we study Genesis 37:5-28, one key point to highlight is the destructive power of envy. Joseph’s brothers, driven by jealousy of his favored status and prophetic dreams, allowed their unchecked emotions to lead to betrayal and cruelty. This passage illustrates how envy, when left to fester, can corrupt relationships, cloud judgment, and result in harmful actions. However, it also hints at God’s sovereignty, as even the brothers’ sinful actions would ultimately serve a greater divine purpose in Joseph’s life and our own.

All of us are sons or daughters. Some may already be parents, while others will become parents by God’s grace. But even if you never experience parenthood, you can still relate to the story of Joseph. The decisions we make within our families have a profound and lasting impact. These choices can either generate deep wounds or foster peace and fruitfulness.
As we examine Joseph’s story, we will discover how both our actions and our inaction carry great consequences, affecting not only our relationships but also our walk with God.

In this sermon we tackle a challenge many of us face: the struggle to truly forgive. Why is it that sometimes hearing “I’m sorry” just doesn’t seem enough? Hurt feelings can often lead us down a path of resentment, thoughts of revenge, or even the desire to sever relationships. But as we delve into the book of Philemon, we will uncover God’s powerful truth about forgiveness.
Together, we’ll explore how God’s way offers a path to true freedom and reconciliation, transforming our hearts and our relationships.
Join us as we seek to understand and embrace Christ’s way of forgiveness that brings healing and unity.

Today, we delve into the beautiful reality that, through Christ, we have been adopted into the family of God. No longer are we strangers or outsiders; we are now children of God, deeply connected to a new family—a family that reflects the love, faith, and truth of the Gospel. As we explore what it means to live as part of this divine family, we’ll discover how our relationships with one another serve as a living testimony to God’s transformative power.
Join us as we learn how to embrace this new identity and nurture the bonds that unite us as brothers and sisters in Christ.
