Genesis: The Unseen Hand of God
Joseph’s life will teach us that everything that happens in our lives takes place within God’s providential care. Even the evil that we experience. We are cared for even when we might not feel like we are. God will direct our steps, and no evil event is beyond the hidden hand of a loving and gracious God.
In this 20-message series, Dr. John Neufeld examines the life of Joseph, who by all accounts did not have an easy life. But despite his trials, at the end of his life, Joseph was able to say that God intended all of it for good and with a greater purpose. By studying the life of Joseph, it becomes clear that we are under the protection of a loving and faithful God who has bigger things in store for us than we could ever imagine.
The Unseen Hand of God
There is an old saying that says, “Life is what happens while you are making other plans.” If you think about that, of course it is true. None of our lives turn out the way we had planned.

Am I My Brother’s Keeper?
Genesis: Genesis 37:12-36
I have, for all my life, had a wonderful relationship with my earthly brother. That’s a great blessing. In this sad world, brothers who love each other is not always the case. There are many times when the dysfunction in a given family is so great that it creates a lifetime of wreckage.

How God Changes Lives
Genesis: Genesis 38:12-30
I need to let the cat out of the bag. Spoiler alert! But, before we begin our study of the last part of Genesis 38, I just have to tell you how the story ends.
When God is With You
Genesis: Genesis 39:1-20
In Romans 8:31, Paul says, “If God is for us, who can be against us.” Indeed, I recall singing a number of hymns in church that sound so very much like that.
Tested and Tried
Genesis: Genesis 39:21-40:23
Years ago, I remember first hearing Bill Gaither’s song, “Have you had a Gethsemane?” It really stirred my heart back then and as I recently re-read those words, I still feel myself stirred again!
Honouring Our Obligations
Genesis: Genesis 41:1-36
Christians are commanded to bless the nations in which we live. We know that ultimately, our citizenship is in heaven.
The Lord Honours His Servant
Genesis: Genesis 41:36-57
A great many Christians have found Psalm 91 to be a deep source of satisfaction. Especially when they are going through a very deep valley.
