Joseph: A Study in God's Sovereignty

R.C. Sproul

When we encounter hardship in our lives, we may be tempted to wonder whether God cares for us amid our suffering. Few stories exemplify the life of suffering as memorably as Joseph’s. In this lesson, Dr. Sproul traces the life of Joseph from his father’s house, down into the land of Egypt, and up into the highest courts of the land. It is a story of human suffering and the bitterness of human wickedness. Yet we see that God’s sovereign hand is over Joseph every step of the way. What man may intend for evil, God ultimately means for the good of His people.
