Title: New Release! The Story of Joseph – Genesis 37 Lesson Package
Have you ever felt like you were in a “pit” experience, wondering where God was in the midst of your struggle?
I am excited to announce the release of my latest study package: Joseph, the Favored Son, Sold as a Slave. This is not just a Sunday School story; it is a profound look at the Sovereignty of God.
In this study, we walk through Genesis 37 to see how God uses even the darkest human moments—jealousy, betrayal, and deceit—to position His people exactly where they need to be. Whether you are a teacher looking for a ready-to-go curriculum or a student wanting to go deeper into the life of Joseph, this package provides everything you need.
Highlights of this study include:
-
A look at why the “Tunic of Many Colors” was a political statement, not just a fashion choice.
-
The connection between Jacob’s past deceptions and the deception he faced from his own sons.
-
How Joseph’s arrival in Egypt was a “Strategic Placement” by God to save the ethnicity of Israel.
