Episode Synopsis

Send us a text In this podcast examine the biblical narrative of Joseph, highlighting the intricate interplay between human choices and divine will. They explain how Joseph's brothers, driven by jealousy and hatred, stripped him of his treasured coat of many colours and sold him into slavery, subsequently deceiving their father, Jacob, about his fate. Despite these heartless and cruel actions, the sources emphasise that God remained in total control, orchestrating these events as part of a larger redemptive plan. This divine plan, detailed through a chain of interconnected events from Joseph's enslavement to his rise as prime minister in Egypt, was ultimately crucial for the survival of his family and the lineage of the Messiah, demonstrating God's unwavering presence and purposeful direction even amidst suffering and human sin.Support the showIf you enjoy hearing our podcasts why not consider supporting our churchBank Sort Code 60-20-23 Account Number 38445514Account Name "Bootle Protestant Free Church or Cheques can be sent to Pastor Ian Thompson Made to "Bootle Protestant Free Church" University Rd/Trinity Road Bootle Merseyside L20 3BB and why not visit our facebook page https://www.facebook.com/bootleprotestantfreechurch
