The Canaav Famine Sermon on Joseph and Benjamin
Dr. Talmage’s Washington sermon on Genesis thirty three highlights famine in Canaan, Benjamin’s peril, and Jacob’s vow to bring him to Egypt for bread. He uses the Egypt corncrib as a symbol of mercy, urging faith in Christ as enduring sustenance over worldly hunger. He contrasts God’s consolation with worldly comforts and warns of choosing famine over divine grace.
