Text: Genesis 40:23
Intro: Our text shows Joseph in the midst of a great trial of faith. He has been mistreated, misrepresented, falsely accused and imprisoned. In the midst of it all Joseph remained patient and kept his testimony intact. He did not see himself as a victim, but as a victor waiting for his liberty! Through it all, he refused to be a victim. (Gen. 39:23) I want us to see Joseph in his prison. His experiences there have some much needed lessons for the people of the Lord. (Jn 16:33) (Heb. 13:5)

The Dead Messiah

Text: Matthew 28:1-7
Intro: Today, we celebrate the glorious resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Today, we celebrate the greatest event on the Christian calendar. I am glad Jesus was born. I praise God for the life He lived. But I rejoice that He rose again from the dead. If He had not come out of that grave, we would still be lost and in our sins. (Eph. 2:1&12)
After the death of Jesus were a hopeless time for His disciples. Many of His followers watched Him die a horrible death. It was over. He was dead. He was gone. It was a time of hopelessness, of shattered dreams, of broken hearts.
