Steve Webb 0:43Acts chapter seven. The head religious leader asked Stephen, are these things true? Stephen said, my brothers and fathers listened to me. The Great God showed himself to early father Abraham while he lived in the country of Mesopotamia. This was before he moved to the country of Heron. God said to him, leave your family in this land where you were born, go to a land that I will show you. He went from the land of the Chaldeans and lived in heron. after his father died, he came to this country where you now live. God did not give him any land to own, not even enough to put his feet on. But he promised that the land would be his and his children's after him. At that time, he had no children. This is what God said, your children's children will be living in a strange land, they will live their 400 years. They will be made to work without pay, and will suffer many hard things. I will say to that nation that it is guilty for holding them and making them work without pay. After that, they will go free. They will leave that country and worship me in this place. He made a promise with Abraham. It was kept by a religious act of becoming a Jew. Abraham had a son Isaac. On the eighth day Abraham took Isaac and had this religious act done to him. Isaac was the father of Jacob. Jacob was the father of our 12, early father’s. The sons of Jacob sold Joseph to people from the country of Egypt because they were jealous of him. But God was with Joseph. He helped him in all his troubles. He gave him wisdom and favour with Pharaoh the king of Egypt. This king made Joseph leader over Egypt and overall the Kings house. The time came when there was no food to eat and all the land of Egypt and Canaan, that people suffered much. Our early father’s were not able to get food. Then Jacob heard there was food in Egypt. He said our early father’s there the first time. The second time they went to the country of Egypt, Joseph made himself known to his brothers. The family of Joseph became known to Pharaoh.
