Sermon--An Expected End

 

Genesis 45:3-15

And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near, I pray you, unto me. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph, your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt. Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God sent me before you to preserve life. For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be plowing nor reaping. And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.

Ephesians 1:11 - "In whom we have also obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to his purpose, who worketh all things after the counsel of his will."

Colossians 1:16 - "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him."
