“When Obedience Leads Into the Unknown” | Genesis 37:12–36 Sermon

In this powerful sermon on Genesis 37, we follow Joseph’s obedience, his betrayal by his brothers, and how God uses suffering to accomplish His sovereign plan. If you’re searching for teaching on trusting God in hard seasons, walking by faith, or understanding why obedience can lead into difficulty, this message will speak deeply to you.

Joseph’s story shows us:

Obedience doesn’t guarantee ease

God’s purpose isn’t based on our performance

Sin blinds us to the Savior God sends

Through Joseph’s journey—from the pit to Egypt—Scripture reveals a God who is faithful even when life feels out of control. This sermon connects Joseph’s suffering to the greater story of redemption in Jesus Christ, the true and better Joseph.
