This week in the Genesis story the brothers who sold Joseph into slavery are now bowing before him in Egypt and they have no idea who he is, but Joseph recognizes every one of them. He tests and watches them to see if they have changed from the vicious aggressors they once were. Judah steps forward and his transformation is evident, but what about the others? This week Robert Garon unpacks Genesis chapters 42–46, asking what it looks like when God uses the worst thing that ever happened to you to save the very people who caused it.

Joseph’s brothers threw him in a pit and walked away. But the pit wasn’t the end of his story — it was the road. A look at Genesis 37–41 and what happens when God is with you in the worst moments of your life.

God doesn’t meet you when you finally have it together. He meets you in the dirt, in the dark, the night before you have to face everything you’ve been running from. A look at Genesis 32–36, where Jacob wrestles with God and walks away with a new name and a limp — and the question becomes: what would you be willing to surrender to get there?

God's covenant has a way of carrying through the people who are least qualified to carry it — not because they had their act together, but because he doesn't need them to. A look at Genesis 27-31, where the promise lands on Jacob the schemer, God shows up while he's still running, and the question becomes: what are you still gripping that God has already promised to give you?

God's covenant has a way of carrying through impossible obstacles — not because the people carrying it were impressive, but because what he holds, he carries through. A deep dive into Genesis 24-26, where the promise passes from Abraham to Isaac and the question becomes: where is God asking you to carry it forward right now?

Genesis 22 is one of the most haunting chapters in all of Scripture, and it isn't primarily asking whether Abraham will obey. It's asking what you're holding so tightly you've stopped being able to tell the difference between holding it and it holding you. Let’s look at Abraham’s test on Mount Moriah, the Hebrew word “hineni”, and understand what the mountain was always pointing toward.

One man said yes to a call that asked him to leave everything familiar and he had no idea what it would produce. The same was true of Abram. This is a walk through Genesis chapters 12-14, the call that changed everything, and the God who goes before every person he sends.

Easter isn't just proof that Jesus rose. It's the guarantee that his promise holds. Using the framework of a first-century Galilean wedding, this sermon walks through what Good Friday paid, what the empty tomb guarantees, and what it means to live as a Bride actively waiting for the Groom's return.

When the crowd ran out with palm branches to meet Jesus on the road into Jerusalem, they weren't being spontaneous. They were performing something specific — a civic ceremony called apantēsis — and the Apostle Paul used that exact word to describe Christ's return. Once you see it, Palm Sunday and 1 Thessalonians 4 will never read the same way again.
