Genesis 47:13

We will look at eight economic disasters recorded in the Bible which resulted in severe famine. Famine was an ending – the result of disobedience and sin – and a beginning, a potential turning point toward a better, more faithful future. Financial problems form an opportunity for change and a chance for a new beginning. What can we learn from these economic disasters for our own situation today?

When life is falling apart, God will carry you through. Through decades of betrayal, abandonment, and false accusations, Joseph never gave up on God.

Learn from Joseph how to trust God while you wait on Him!
