Sermon: The Life of Joseph – The Pain Continues
Introduction:
- Week three of the Life of Joseph series.
- Recap of Joseph’s choice to be different and the pain he endured.
- Today’s focus: “The Pain Continues.”
Scripture:
- Genesis 39:2-3 (Joseph in Potiphar’s house)
- Genesis 39:6c-15 (Falsely Accused)
- Genesis 39:19-23 (Joseph Put in Prison)
- Genesis 40:20-23 (Joseph interprets the dreams of the chief baker and the chief cup bearer)
Points:
- Don’t be surprised at the insult to your injury:
- Trials and tribulations are rarely one-time events.
- Satan seeks to add insult to injury to turn us from the Lord.
- Remember that God can use our pain for our good and His glory.
- Don’t expect the pain to be over quickly:
- Biblical stories often span years, not just chapters.
- Joseph spent 13 years as a slave and prisoner before seeing light.
- Difficult circumstances can last longer than we expect.
- Stay faithful:
- Faithfulness is crucial during prolonged difficulties.
- Satan tries to break us, but God sustains us beyond our breaking point.
- Joseph’s faithfulness set the stage for God to use him powerfully.
- James 1:2-4: Consider it joy when facing trials, as they develop perseverance.
Closing:
- Scripture calls us to be faithful through pain. How will you respond to your trials?
- Hebrews 4:19
- Revelation 3:5
