Genesis - Patriarchs: Joseph Series

Joseph is the oldest son of Jacob’s favorite wife, Rachel. As such, he is given special treatment from his father that angers his older half-brothers. Unjustly, they sell Joseph to a group of slavers bound for Egypt, where he will spend the next thirteen years as a slave and eventually in prison. Joseph keeps his faith and integrity and through an act of divine providence, finds himself at the center of a plan to save many lives. Joseph’s story is summed up in his declaration to his brothers, “you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good.”
