Ho-ho-how do we ignore the commercialism associated with Christmas and focus on the ho-ho-holy God who invaded earth in a lowly manger?

When Joseph was released from prison and elevated to the second-highest ruler in Egypt, he also faced unique challenging …
Fact or Fiction: Joseph’s wife Asenath was held captive in a tower before she married Joseph? Well, I counted it as sort of both. An ancient Jewish novel, written sometime between 200 B.C. and 200 A.D., tells the story of Joseph and Asenath. It was reworked a few centuries later as ancient Christian fiction!

This month we’ll use Joseph’s journey to shine that light and continue the story we began last year in Potiphar’s Wife (Genesis 39).
