Genesis 45:5-7 5 And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you. 6 For two years now there has been famine in the land, and for the next five years there will be no plowing and reaping. 7 But God sent me ahead of you to preserve for you a remnant on earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance. /episode/index/show/creekkids10/id/35889925

April 10 2025 04/10/2025

April 10 2025 Today, Pastor Jeff tells us about when Joseph interpreted Pharaoh's dreams. You might not need to interpret a friend's dream, but when you see your friend sad or anxious about something, you can say that God is in control. God loves and cares for every one of us. Genesis 41:28-30 28 “It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do. 29 Seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the land of Egypt, 30 but seven years of famine will follow them.

May the Lord make the woman who is coming into your home like Rachel and Leah, who together built up the family of Israel.

Your people will be my people and your God my God. 17 Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord deal with me, be it ever so severely, if even death separates you and me.” 18 When Naomi realized that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped urging her. /episode/index/show/creekkids10/id/35858210
