God's Grace in a Complicated Family | Genesis 37:1-11

He grew up in a complicated family. He endured betrayal, hardship, injustice, and isolation. Yet in one of the Bible’s most dramatic reversals, Joseph rose to a place of power and authority, delivering God’s people and preserving the covenant family. In this series, we explore Genesis 37-50, following the story of God's providence in the life of a “beloved son" who prefigures a Greater Son to come.

As the story of Joseph begins, we meet the main characters: Jacob, Joseph, and Joseph’s brothers. The narrator reveals quickly that this family is dysfunctional to the core. But family brokenness is no match for the grace of God.
