Genesis 39-40
If you've got your Bibles with your real quickly tonight, I'm just going to take a few moments. So for those of you who want to get out a little bit early, this might be your night. Of course, if I get to preaching in a weaving way we might even be here till midnight, but we're in Genesis, chapters 39 and 40. Last week we got to the very first verses of chapter 41.

And then Joseph said, well, I'll tell you what's going to happen. In three days, you're going to be restored.
And then there was the baker and the baker said, I'd like to have my dream interpreted.
And Joseph must have thought, are you sure you really want this interpreted? But he was a man of integrity and he gave him the interpretation. Of course, that dream came true. He lost his head; he was executed there by the king. And so th ...
