Joseph Part 3: Blessing Defined

The Providential Hand of God | Genesis 39 Sermon

What if God’s blessing doesn’t look like escape, but endurance? In this powerful sermon from Genesis 39, we explore the doctrine of divine providence through the life of Joseph. Though Joseph moves from slavery to prison, Scripture repeatedly declares one unshakable truth: God was with him.

This message explains how God sovereignly rules all things, works through ordinary circumstances, and remains faithful even when obedience leads to suffering. We examine how divine sovereignty and human responsibility coexist, why God is not the author of sin yet still overrules it, and how Joseph’s story ultimately points us to the cross of Christ as the greatest example of providence.

If you’ve ever wondered whether God is still at work in hardship, delay, betrayal, or injustice, this sermon offers deep biblical clarity and hope rooted in Scripture.
