Join us for Worship Service on Sunday's at 10:30am! Genesis 41:1-36 "Pharaoh's Dreams" by Pastor Kevin Pulliam OT: Psalm 24:1-10 NT: Ephesians 1:3-10 Consider This: "What does it really mean to affirm God's sovereignty…? It means that we are secure in the knowledge that God's sovereign purpose to redeem a people through the atonement accomplished by His Son will be fully realized." #christreformedchurchminot Trinity Hymnal Published by Great Commission Publications CCLI#22311974,22311981

We are here tonight during what was told us, studying to show ourselves approved of God. One of the first things we have to do is what Jesus said, take His yoke upon us and learn of Him. When Daniel asked for understanding to the dream he had, he asked cause he lacked a teacher, as we have. He knew God's word, but Jesus has to give us illumination. As the Ethiopia eunuch responded," How can I, unless someone guides me?" (or "instructs me" / "explains it to me,"

The story of Joseph and his brothers in Genesis 42 is a picture of the sinner's encounter with Christ. Joseph's initial rough treatment and accusations serve to break down the brothers' self-righteousness and force them to confront their hidden guilt, just as the word of God and the Holy Spirit convict an unconverted person of their sin. Jesus taught that true salvation requires a good and honest heart that fully acknowledges transgression rather than offering partial truths or excuses. Joseph's careful dealing with them brings their past sins to the forefront where his weeping and kindness reveal the heart of God, who so desires reconciliation with lost mankind that He sent his Son to die for them and make provision for them to live forever and not perish.

I came to the book of Daniel prepared to preach Christ from the heroic prophetic feats of the title character. Surely he is the great type of Christ in his own book! And indeed, as we will see Daniel consistently acts as prophet and priest throughout his time in Babylon, with parallels to the Son of Man that are not to be taken lightly. But in chs. 2 & 4, much to my surprise, I have discovered that the great type of the Son of Man is not Daniel, but Nebuchadnezzar! The pagan monarch, the Babylonian tyrant, the destroyer of God's temple, the man who surely ought to be a one-dimensional villain — that man is like Christ in numerous ways. We saw in ch. 2 that he is called "kings of kings" and that he is the "head of gold," a description that overlaps the description of the Beloved in Song of Solomon 5. But those parallels are small potatoes compared to the narrative arc of Daniel 4, in which we see humiliation and exaltation, a cosmic tree cut down and then regrown. Yes, clearly Nebuchadnezzar is not Christ. But he is like Him in some key ways, ways that mark out the Babylonian as a foil character whose flaws highlight the perfections of the lion of the tribe of Judah. Particularly in his humiliation and exaltation, Nebuchadnezzar reminds us of the humiliation and exaltation of the Son of Man, and teaches us the lesson he learned: conformity to Christ requires humility.

This sermon provides a comprehensive overview of the book of Revelation, aiming to demystify the text by establishing it as a logical, chronological, and blessed document rather than a confusing collection of dreams. The speaker outlines the book's structure using the three-part framework found in Revelation 1:19, moving from the past (the vision on Patmos), to the present (the seven letters to the churches), and finally to the future (the tribulation and the return of Christ). Key theological themes include the rapture of the church, the specific focus on Israel during the tribulation period, and the ultimate victory of Christ over the beast and Satan. The tone is instructional and encouraging, urging believers to study the scripture diligently, recognize the signs of the times, and remain watchful for the imminent return of Jesus.

JACOB'S STONE AT BETHEL. [When an Ordinary Stone Became a Memorial] Genesis 28:10–22 KJV What happens when an ordinary stone becomes a memorial of an extraordinary encounter with God?In this powerful lesson, we follow Jacob as he flees from home, faces an uncertain future, and spends a lonely night in the wilderness. With nothing but a stone for his pillow, Jacob discovers that God is present even in life's darkest and loneliest places.Through Jacob's dream of a ladder reaching toward heaven, God's covenant promises, and the stone Jacob erected at Bethel, we discover the importance of remembering God's faithfulness. We also examine the ancient standing stones known as masseboth, including those discovered at Gezer, and learn to distinguish biblical certainty from archaeological evidence and speculation.Most importantly, we discover how Jacob's ladder points beyond the stone to Jesus Christ, the only way to the Father.Every Christian ought to have some Bethels—spiritual landmarks where we remember God's presence, answered prayers, and unfailing faithfulness. But our faith must never rest in a place, a monument, or a memory. It must rest in Jesus Christ alone! REMEMBER YOUR BETHEL—BUT BUILD YOUR LIFE ON JESUS CHRIST! "Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not." — Genesis 28:16 KJV The stone remembered the encounter. The ladder pointed toward heaven. But only the Savior can bring us to God!

Dan 2:46 Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him. Dan 2:47 The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret. Dan 2:48 Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon. Dan 2:49 Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel sat in the gate of the king.

"Survey of Genesis" Part 40 "The Prisoner's Dreams" Genesis 40:1-23

This sermon examines the second woe in Isaiah, focusing on God's judgment against Jerusalem and the futility of relying on human alliances rather than divine protection. The exposition highlights the historical siege by Assyria and the spiritual blindness of the people, who sought political refuge in Egypt instead of trusting in the Lord. The message connects these ancient events to future eschatological conflicts, illustrating that all nations opposing God's city will ultimately fail like a dream. The preacher emphasizes the necessity of living by faith, contrasting the shame of worldly reliance with the joy and clarity that come from hearing God's word. The central call is for believers to abandon their own schemes and embrace the truth, allowing the Holy Spirit to open their eyes to divine wisdom.
