“What Are You Hungry For?” - Genesis Chapter 47 - Pastor Scotty

Drawing parallels between Joseph’s stewardship during Egypt’s famine and our spiritual hunger today, Pastor Scotty challenges us to examine what truly drives us—whether it’s worldly security or a deeper relationship with God. With references to Jesus’ teachings on righteousness from the Sermon on the Mount, he encourages us to trust God’s provision, reject the fleeting promises of wealth, and hunger for spiritual success. Be inspired to pursue Christ above all else, knowing that in Him, our deepest needs are satisfied. https://outwestbible.church/ https://facebook.com/outwestbiblechurchif/ 00:00 Introduction and Building Announcement 01:50 Title: What Are You Hungry For? 03:30 Opening Prayer 04:50 Joseph as a Provider 05:50 Verse 13-15: The Famine and Joseph’s Management 08:00 Historical Context of Scarcity and Survival 10:20 Importance of Resource Management 12:50 Joseph’s Stewardship and Integrity 14:20 The Failure of Money 16:00 Biblical Perspective on Money and Security 18:40 Jesus’ Teachings on Wealth (Matthew 6) 21:00 Trust in God, Not Finances 22:40 Verses 16-19: Barter System and Livestock Exchange 25:40 Verses 20-26: Selling Land and Becoming Servants 30:00 The Benevolence of Joseph’s Leadership 32:30 Comparison to Jesus’ Sacrifice 34:20 Verses 27-31: Israel Settles in Goshen 35:50 Spiritual Success and Hunger for Righteousness 37:20 Conclusion and Closing Prayer
