Providence in the Empty Bread Basket

This week in Genesis 42, Joseph is now second in Egypt to only King Pharaoh. What Joseph interpreted in Pharaoh's dreams has come true. 7 years of good harvest have come and gone. Now, the first year of another 7 years of famine has begun. Providentially, God brings Joseph and his brothers together. Not for a family reunion, but for healing that will only come through transformation. We will see through Joseph and his brothers how God can use our positive and negative guilt for our transformation too. 

From the Pit to the Palace

In Genesis chapter 40, we, once again, find Joseph in the pit. Things were going so well, but they all came crashing down in Potiphar's house. The Lord is with Joseph, though, and caused everything he did to be successful. Through a series of dreams, God will raise Joseph not just out of the pit but into Pharaoh's palace. Through Joseph's life we learn to trust God even when all hope is lost, believing that he is working in us an eternal weight of glory.

Joseph and the Fight for Purity

The last time we saw Joseph, he was being betrayed and sold as a slave by his brothers. But in Genesis 39 we pick back up with the story of Joseph and find that God is with him and is blessing him even though he is a slave in Egypt. His master’s wife sets her sights on Joseph and this young man is faced with a terribly difficult temptation. Given what we’ve read so far in Genesis, we expect Joseph to give in, and fall flat on his face. But instead he withstands temptation and remains sexually pure. It is a story about the faithfulness of God to uphold him, but there are several things that we can learn from Joseph as we pursue holiness in our own lives. Join us this Sunday as we learn how to fight for purity in the midst of temptation. 

Surprising Grace for Ruined Sinners

This Sunday we are diving in to the story of Judah. It’s messy and hard and surprising. Moses gives us insight into a long season of Judah’s life that is riddled with sin and scandal and brokenness. But there’s more to the story than that. Yet again, we’ll see how God uses it all to bring Judah back to himself and transform him into an entirely different person before it’s all over. It’s a story that gives hope to all of us. See you Sunday.

Joseph Sold By His Brothers

This week, we start our new sermon series in Genesis, called The God of Providence.  This last section in Genesis tells the story of Joseph, the son of Jacob, and it begins with a series of unfortunate events that land Joseph in a waterless pit and then sold into slavery in Egypt- by his brothers of all people!  Come this week to hear about how God's Providence works in his life, using chance encounters to accomplish His will.

Simeon and Anna

In our advent series we have remembered the birth of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. But the Scriptures still have more to share about Jesus as a young baby. The stories of the shepherds and later the wise men coming to see Jesus Christ are wonderful and awe-striking, but there is one more less known story about Jesus that is equally wonderful and awe-striking. Simeon and Anna, two unassuming and unnoticed older folks get to share in the glory of the promised Messiah.

Out of Silence, Salvation

For 400 hundred years God left his people Israel without a prophet, without a word. Then on an ordinary day, with an ordinary priest, God burst onto the scene with the proclamation of salvation. In total disbelief, Zechariah was silenced for 9 months as he awaited the birth of his son. Out of his silence came shouts of praise to God for the deliverance of his people through the forgiveness of their sins.  

The Virgin Birth

When we talk about the Virgin Birth of Jesus, it seems so out of place in our world today- so old-fashioned, so antiquated, so irrelevant.  But actually, it's one of our core beliefs and absolutely vital to the Gospel of Jesus.  Our very salvation depends upon it!  Come to New King this week and hear this vital doctrine explained and applied.
