Rev. Jerry Hamstra December 10, 2017 Sermons A Summary of the Joseph Story Rev. Jerry Hamstra December 10, 2017 Sermons Read: Genesis 50:15-21 “Now this idea of God overriding evil and bringing good out of evil is a very important theme in the Bible. In God’s plan for the salvation of the world he is going to do that again and again. He uses evil in many ways to bring good as he did with Joseph and his brothers. The most important instance of this idea is the death of Jesus. Those who killed Jesus meant evil. The death of Jesus was a monstrous injustice. And yet it was also part of God’s plan for the salvation of his people and the renewal of the whole creation.” — Rev. Jerry Hamstra Download Manuscript
Rev. Jerry Hamstra September 10, 2017 Sermons Jacob/Israel Settles in Goshen Rev. Jerry Hamstra September 10, 2017 Sermons Read: Genesis 46:8 - 47:12 “This evening we will consider this genealogy that we find in Genesis 46:8-27 and then the part of the story in which Jacob and his family end up in Goshen. Goshen was a part of the land of Egypt. The theological theme in both of these sections has to do with how God was making the offspring of Abraham into a great nation.” — Rev.
