Summary

When God seems the most hidden, he’s often working the most for us — and we see that in this account of Joseph’s temptation. This sermon will examine three temptations Joseph experienced and what they mean for us: 1) The power temptation; 2) The sexual temptation; 3) The hardest temptation of all. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on June 15, 2003. Series: The Gospel According to Joseph. Scripture: Genesis 39:1-23.
