Genesis 37 | Joseph: Hated, Betrayed, and God’s Unstoppable Plan

Joseph's story doesn't begin with triumph—it begins with hatred, favoritism, betrayal, and a pit. In Genesis 37, we see a deeply broken family, unchecked jealousy, and sin that echoes all the way back to Cain and Abel. And yet, behind every act of evil, God is quietly accomplishing His good purposes. In this sermon, we explore: Why Joseph was hated by his brothers The dangers of favoritism and partiality How sin grows when hatred is allowed to fester Why God's sovereign plan cannot be stopped—even by betrayal How Joseph's story points us forward to Christ This message is for anyone who feels stuck in suffering, confused by God's timing, or tempted to believe that hardship means God has abandoned them. The Joseph story reminds us of a powerful truth: you may not know what happens next—but you do know how the story ends. 📖 Scripture: Genesis 37 📍 Harvest Liberty Lake Church 🕊️ Theme: God's Sovereignty in Suffering Listen, be encouraged, and trust the God who writes the final chapter.
