Thy Strong Word From Kfuo Radio

Rev. Joseph Barlau, pastor of Redeemer Lutheran Church in Seymour, IN joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study Genesis 37. Joseph has a dream, but it is the first non-theophany dream.

Keep us from jealousy and lead us to a holy life of loving and caring for others with grace and love
