Joseph’s Dreams (Genesis 34-37)

Ephesians 1

Today Mary Crosby breaks down Chapter 1 of Ephesians for us. What does it mean to be a saint? What is a spiritual blessing vs an earthly blessing? What does it mean to be chosen and adopted by God before we do a single thing?

Ephesians (Intro)

We’re studying the book of Ephesians this summer! It’s a short book - just 6 chapters - but there is so much to unpack and apply to our lives. Our new staff member Mary Crosby Swinney is taking out leader Bible study through Ephesians this summer so we’re bringing you along for the ride!

Joseph is Remembered (Genesis 41)

Joseph has been through a lot of betrayal at this point in his story, but today we finally reach the moment where he is remembered by the cupbearer, and meets Pharaoh to interpret his dreams. God’s plan comes to fruition in the most perfect way, and we realize not one thing could have gone differently in order for this plan to succeed.

God Uses All Circumstances (Genesis 39-40)

Joseph’s story is such a clear picture of how God can move through both fortunate and hopeless-seeming situations. It’s a wild ride, but we’ll see that each step of the way is a part of God’s bigger plan. We talk a little bit about what it looks like to trust and obey God in all situations.

Women in the Bible: Tamar (Genesis 38)

This story is SO wild. Today Emily and Anna focus in on the story of Tamar, the daughter in law who single handedly saved a family line. The way she accomplished it may surprise you, but at the end of it all, she ended up in the genealogy of Jesus.
