Under the Sun Series, Week 2, The Sun Bows Down

Readings:

Psalm 16

First Lesson and Sermon Text: Genesis 37:3-11, Joseph was one of twelve sons born to his father Jacob. This account details how his brothers envied Joseph and some unique dreams that God allowed Joseph to dream.

Second Lesson: Romans 8:28-39, It is God’s promise that he will use all things to accomplish good in the lives of those he has called to follow him. Therefore nothing can separate us from his love. Nothing.

Gospel: John 9:1-11, This Gospel account shows us another example of God using something evil (a result of sin in the world) to accomplish his good purpose, bringing glory to his name.

God cannot be blamed for all the bad things that happen to us and others in this world. But he does work through them for our ultimate good, for his dear children. We remain assured that God will make good out of the evils of our day for us.
