In this Bible study, Pastor Byron begins a biographical study of Joseph in Genesis 37, exploring how Jacob’s passive parenting and open favoritism set the stage for his sons’ growing envy and hatred toward their younger brother. Along the way, he looks at the destructive nature of envy and bitterness through passages in Galatians and James, and shows how sinful patterns like deceit can be passed down from one generation to the next. The study closes with three practical lessons: reject passivity, reject self-pity, and reject envy, which only leads to bitterness.
