Broken people. Broken relationships. A desperate need for grace and transformation. Have you ever inherited a legacy of family dysfunction? Many people live in daily bondage to their dysfunction, paralyzed by fear, anxiety, or guilt. We become its unwitting prisoners and perpetuate its impact into the next generation. Dysfunction is almost unavoidable in a world like ours. Yet, we still must find a way to survive, and thrive spiritually, even as we navigate all the pitfalls. Joseph, whose life fills much of the book of Genesis, understood dysfunction all too well. We often see biblical heroes as special people with superior character or spirituality, but most were just as flawed as any of us. You would be hard-pressed to find a group with deeper dysfunction than Joseph’s family! And yet, through these severely dysfunctional people, God told a story of grace, mercy, and redemption that inspires and comforts us today in our suffering and shortcomings. Dr. Joseph Davis, founding pastor of GraceLife Church in Sarasota, Florida, is the author of several Bible studies, including The GraceLife (Philippians), Growing to Love God’s Word (Psalm 119), Swimming Lessons (Jonah), Go into the Land! (Joshua), and Power for Ordinary People (Ruth). In Surviving in Egypt, Dr. Davis walks us through the biblical story of Joseph and encourages us to count ourselves among the desperately dysfunctional people who need God’s sovereign grace. If God could use Joseph and his brothers, He can certainly use you, too! You’ll also learn: – The secrets to “surviving in Egypt”—a metaphor for the world – That we have more in common with betrayers in Scripture than with the betrayed – The true cost of obedience to God – The fullness of God’s constant love and loyalty for His chosen people – How to see suffering as necessary for our transformation – God’s way of overcoming bitterness, anger, and resentment – That God accomplishes incredible things with exceptionally messy people Having a God-ordained impact in this world has never been about your personal resume. You don’t need to be special or perfect. Surviving in Egypt and influencing the world around you is about being loved, chosen, and called by a sovereign, gracious, merciful, miraculous, forgiving God!
