The Beloved Son | Genesis 37

In this sermon by Pastor Sheffer, we explore the remarkable parallels between the lives of Joseph and Jesus Christ as depicted in Genesis 37. Pastor Sheffer delves into the themes of favoritism, hatred, anger, envy, and the destructive nature of these emotions. He also discusses the practical implications of partiality and egalitarianism in our lives. The message focuses on the typology of Joseph's story, foreshadowing the life and sacrifice of Jesus, and concludes with a call to self-examination and repentance. Join us for a thought-provoking examination of scripture and a deeper understanding of God's grace and mercy. 00:00 Introduction to Joseph's Story and Its Parallels with Christ 01:23 The Effects of Partiality and Favoritism 01:53 Reading from Genesis: Joseph's Dreams and His Brothers' Hatred 04:29 Joseph Sold into Slavery 05:57 Jacob's Grief and Joseph's Fate in Egypt 06:56 Prayer and Reflection on Human Sinfulness 07:59 The Nature of Sin and Human Heart 19:09 The Dangers of Favoritism and Egalitarianism 30:03 Joseph's Loyalty and His Brothers' Hatred 35:48 The Consequences of Insulting and Anger 36:53 The Dangers of Name-Calling 37:54 Joseph's Dreams and His Brothers' Hatred 39:17 Jealousy and Envy: A Biblical Perspective 41:31 The Story of Joseph: Betrayal and Envy 46:16 Joseph's Journey to Egypt 47:13 The Parallel Between Joseph and Jesus 54:20 The Brothers' Deception and Its Consequences 01:03:01 The Impact of Sin and the Need for Repentance 01:05:01 A Call to Confession and Reconciliation Do you want to support Church of The Word? https://cotwstl.org/give/ Check out our church here! https://cotwstl.org/ #biblestudy #faith
