How to Succeed in Your Job (Labor Day)

Genesis 45:4-11
OUTLINE:
I. FULFILL YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
II. MAINTAIN YOUR INTEGRITY

Now these brothers just now realize who he is because they supposed that he was either dead or gotten somewhere in a slave camp and they have just recognized who he is. Then lo ...
