Genesis: God's Providence In Evil's Path

They meant it for evil. But God used it for good. In Genesis 45, Joseph's brothers stood before him - brothers that had once sold him off to slave traders, and then told their father that he was dead. They had acted wickedly! And in a 'twist of fate,' their lives were now in his hands. But was it really a 'twist of fate?' Was their encounter just an amazing coincidence? That will be the focus of today's study. Questions That We'll Answer: A) What is 'providence,' and how does that word apply to Gen. 45? B) Why didn't Joseph exact revenge, when given the opportunity? C) What was God's purpose in all the events of Joseph's life? Website: www.fpcgulfport.org/sermons
