When God Provides Healing (6 of 6)
Series: Bend Don't Break
Jeff Geyer
Genesis 12:1-3, 45-50; Isaiah 11:1-10; Matthew 1:2-3; Revelation 5:5

Intro:
Each year our church does an alignment study, which means that all of our groups use the questions from the Sunday morning message.

So Jacob sent his sons, except for his youngest Benjamin because he was afraid that something would happen to him, down to Egypt for food. He didn't want to lose the last son of his beloved wife, Rachel.?
The sons meet Joseph but they don't know that it's Joseph, who is second in command.?Joseph does one final test before they go back to Canaan. He gives them back their money they spent on the grain. He has the money placed back in the bags. If they stayed home, they would be thieves, but if they go b ...
