In the sermon "Receiving Double," Kevin Thacker explores the character and narrative of Joseph in Genesis 39, emphasizing how Joseph's life serves as a typological foreshadowing of Christ. Thacker argues that Joseph's experiences — from being favored to facing adversity and imprisonment — illustrate the providential hand of God at work in the lives of His people, highlighting both Joseph's unwavering faith and his role in God's redemptive plan. Scripture references such as Genesis 39:2-6, which indicates that "the Lord was with Joseph," support his points about divine favor and prosperity despite trials. The sermon underscores the practical significance of recognizing God's sovereignty in hardship, urging listeners to serve faithfully and with integrity, as seen in Joseph’s life.
“Joseph was a picture of Christ here in Genesis. It makes our heart burn within us.”
“He said, you come, it’s two o’clock in the morning. You come to my house. They bandaged him up and he fed him.”
“We do ourselves harm when we don't cast all of ourselves on the Lord Jesus Christ.”
“If anyone's ever blessed eternally, it's because of Christ.”
