About this episode

Pastor Heath Lambert discusses how God uses dreams for revelation and preparation for Jesus, emphasizing the importance of the Word of God after Christ's resurrection.

Dreams reveal God's purposes, prepare the world for Jesus, and point to the need for his Word. In this message from Genesis 41, Pastor Heath Lambert reveals three truths about biblical dreams: God uses dreams for revelation—speaking clearly to covenant people like Joseph and confusingly to outsiders like Pharaoh to exalt a covenant member and glorify himself; God uses dreams throughout Scripture to prepare for Jesus—from Joseph's dreams to the dreams surrounding Jesus's birth, all pointing toward the Messiah; and God is not using dreams for new communication today—after Jesus's resurrection, the Bible records no more dreams from God because we now have the complete revelation in Christ. Once Jesus came, died, and rose, we no longer need dreams. What we need is the Word of God and knowledge of who Jesus is and what he did for us.
