Session 17- From Prison to the Palace Pt. 3
There are times when we think we have been forgotten by God. There are times when we think the wheels of providence have run us over and left us like road kill beside the highway of life. But, that is just how things appear! God has a plan and He can change our situation in an instant of time. In this episode, we take a look at Joseph's promotion and how God can elevate you when it appears that life is over.
Session 16- "From the Prison to the Palace" (Pt. 2)
When the moment comes for Joseph to have his five minutes of fame, Joseph displays true humility and points Pharaoh to the Lord. Even after all he had been through, Joseph is not bitter, but he is actively seeking ways to bring glory and honor to the Lord! Joseph is not upset about the delays and the problems he has had to face as a slave and as a prisoner. That's exactly the way we should handle life.
Session 15- From the Prison to the Palace
In our session today, we are going to watch as Joseph is delivered from the prison and promoted to the palace. We are going to see the unseen hand of God at work in this man’s life. We are also going to see that what the Lord did for Joseph, He can do for you and me. He knows where we are, and in His time, He knows how to bring us out of our prisons and place us in the palace. Let’s join Joseph once again and notice the circumstances God used to move Joseph From The Prison To The Palace.
Session 14- "Forgotten, but Not Forsaken" (part 2)
Isn’t it true that most of us can see no further than our own needs? Isn’t it true that when we are in a prison in our lives, we really don’t have time to be too worried about the needs of others, because all we can think about is how bad we hurt? Isn’t it true that most of us are pretty self-centered when it comes to dealing with our burdens and problems? Did you know that an attitude like that is not what the Lord wants from His people?
In this week's session, we continue discussing "Forgotten, but Not Forsaken" (part 2). The link is at the bottom of the email. We'll be taking a break for the next two weeks during the Christmas and New Years. Clear Studies will resume January 6th, 2021. If I don't get a chance to speak with you, I pray that God will richly bless you during these difficult times. May your celebration of our Savior's birth and crossover into a new year be enjoyable and peaceful!

Session 13- Forgotten, but Not Forsaken (Part 1)
A brief glimpse at Joseph’s life reveals the trials he was called upon to endure.
· He was treated unfairly by his own brothers and sold into slavery.
· He became a slave in a foreign land.
· He was falsely accused of attempted rape and imprisoned.
Through it all, he refused to be a victim!
In this week's session, we discuss "Forgotten, but Not Forsaken" (part 1). The link is at the bottom of the email. You may feel as if you have been forgotten by God. You may feel as if you have been forsaken by God. But, God will never leave you. Your trials are not designed to destroy you. They are designed to develop you! That's what we learn from the life of Joseph.
