In this sermon by Pastor Sheffer, we explore the remarkable parallels between the lives of Joseph and Jesus Christ as depicted in Genesis 37. Pastor Sheffer delves into the themes of favoritism, hatred, anger, envy, and the destructive nature of these emotions. He also discusses the practical implications of partiality and egalitarianism in our lives. The message focuses on the typology of Joseph's story, foreshadowing the life and sacrifice of Jesus, and concludes with a call to self-examination and repentance. Join us for a thought-provoking examination of scripture and a deeper understanding of God's grace and mercy.
