Grace 101: Joseph - A Garment of Grace
Scripture: Genesis Chapter 37-41, 1 Chronicles 5:1
As the Lord was with Joseph; in the pit, in Potiphar's house, in prison and in the palace, He is also with you. He caused Joseph's life to be painted with favor; favor that protected him, prospered him, and promoted him. That is the Lord's intent for you as well. Your Garment of Grace can't be taken away from you.
Grace 101: Jacob's Two Wives
Genesis 29 & 30
Jacob's wives represent the two covenants: Law and Grace, New and Old. If you fall in love with the one, you will work out of love for her. If you work and labor for the other, she will leave you frustrated, confused, and worn out. Jacob loved Rachel more than Leah.
Live Life Loved by the Shepherd
When we, like sheep gone astray, have no realization of how good our Shepherd is, we will lack abundance. But when we realize we are loved by the Shepherd, we will have no fear, no lack and no discouragement. Live Life loved by the Shepherd.
Isaiah 53:5-6
1 Peter 2:24-25
Luke 15:4-7

Grace 101: Eleazar and Rebekah
Abraham is a type and shadow of the Father. Isaac is a type and shadow of Jesus. Eleazar is a type and shadow of the Holy Spirit.
It's Not a Private Party
When you realize the blessings of God in your life, don't have a private party. Share the good news. In 2 Kings Chapter 7, four men find the blessings and provisions of God and realize it's time to share with everyone the good news about what they found. Its time for the believers to spread the news.
