Episode Synopsis

Send us a textA discussion based on a sermon titled “Faithfulness in the Furnace: Joseph’s Integrity in the Dark,” focusing on the biblical narrative found in Genesis 39:12–23. The text explores how Joseph maintained integrity by fleeing temptation when Potiphar's wife falsely accused him, resulting in his unjust imprisonment. The sermon emphasises that Joseph’s faithfulness was rooted in reverence for God rather than fear of consequence, and it highlights the powerful refrain, “But the Lord was with Joseph,” even during his suffering. Finally, the source asserts that Joseph serves as a type or foreshadowing of Christ, being innocent yet condemned, silent before his accusers, and ultimately raised to a position of influenceSupport 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
