Joseph’s Trouble by Wes King

Joseph’s trouble started with a dream and a coat that was sewn with a colorful seam. The story of Jacob’s son Joseph is told in the last eleven chapters of Genesis. It’s a story of betrayal, deceit, hardship, triumph, and forgiveness; a story of God’s providence. This summer we will study the story of Joseph in detail.
