Genesis: Joseph And The Coat Of Many Col...

BIBLE STUDY
About this episode

Joseph’s story started poorly.

Within moments of being introduced in Scripture, Joseph was thrown into a pit by his brothers. And not long after, he found himself in prison. So, where was God when calamity struck? That will be the focus of today’s study in Genesis 37.

Questions That We’ll Answer:

A) Why did Joseph’s brothers hate him so much?

B) Why did God allow Joseph to face so many hardships?

C) Where is God when our own circumstances grow dark?
