Sold! Joseph The Slave

Jul 13, 2014    Brad Snyder    Genesis 37:2-26

As we continue through our Genesis sermon series, we come to the story of Joseph. In this chapter, the theme of family dysfunction continues as Joseph is favored by his father Jacob and Joseph's brothers are replete with envy. In a jealous rage they kidknap Joseph and sell him into slavery for some silver and lie to their father about what they had done. Ultimately, this text points us to Jesus, who was loved by his father, hated by his brothers, and betrayed for a negligible amount of silver.
