Joseph: The Story You Know Well and May Have Never Seen–Come Follow Me Old Testament Podcast #11, Genesis 37-41

Like Us, They Could Not See A Far Off—Come Follow Me Podcast: Genesis 5; Moses 6
When you read the Genesis account you might think this is just a boring genealogy with not much more information than Peter Daniel Jensen’s journal entry.

Come and See: What Does the Fall Have to Do with Me? Genesis 3-4, Moses 4-5

We think of the war in heaven that first set Satan on his path to put men and women in bondage and chains as something that was finished eons ago, but in reality, that war in heaven was just the first skirmish of a war that is raging ever hotter by the year.
