“Standing on the Promises”
Scripture Reading: Genesis 50:15-26
This Sunday, August 7th we will conclude our series on “Becoming a Person of Integrity.” Our
study of Joseph wraps up in Genesis 50:15-26 where we have the conclusion to
the book of Genesis and the life of Joseph. Joseph, as his father Jacob,
requested that his bones would be brought from Egypt to the Promised Land when
God visited them (he was speaking of the Exodus). Joseph had spent most of his
life in Egypt, but his real roots were in Canaan. Nearing the end of his life
on earth, Joseph stood on the promises of God, especially the promise stated in
Genesis 50:24, “I am about to die. But God will surely come to your aid
and take you up out of this land to the land he promised on oath to Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob” (my emphasis).
In this final scene in the drama of
Genesis we find some differing outlooks from Joseph and his brothers. What made
Joseph a great man of God is revealed mainly in the attitudes that he displayed
during his life. “Attitude is everything.” Through this passage of Scripture we
will explore the kind of attitudes of faith that give glory to God. We invite
you to join us for worship this Sunday at Carrollwood Baptist Church where “All Are Welcome!”
