“you meant that for evil...but God used it for good (paraphrase of Genesis 50:20).”
A sermon on Acts 2:22-36 that expounds Peter’s Pentecost message: the life, death (as God’s plan), and resurrection of Jesus, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit as proof of the resurrection, and an urgent call to Spirit-empowered, biblical proclamation and repentance in the last days.
“You meant it for evil, but God meant it for good.”
A resurrection/Easter sermon that moves from the reality of being 'shook' by life's sucker punches (trauma, injustice, loss) to the hope that God will 'cook' — show out, restore, and repurpose pain for a higher purpose when we keep showing up in faith.
“You meant evil against me but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result to preserve many people alive.”
Kelly Rivas teaches from 1 Samuel 21–22:2 (and Psalm 34) that fear drives poor, sinful responses while faith leads to worship, reliance on God, and sharing hope. She contrasts David's fearful choices (lying, trusting a weapon, feigning madness) with his later faith expressed in Psalm 34 and calls believers to remember God's past deliverance and to respond with faith and hope.
“"The end will interpret the middle" — referenced as Genesis chapter 50 verse 20.”
A sermon on 'Finishing Strong' that uses Joseph's story (Genesis 37–50) to teach how prophetic dreams, perseverance through pits and betrayal, faithful excellence in limitation, and intentional preparation lead to finishing well and entering God’s promised destiny.
