Passage: Genesis 39:6-20
Integrity Under Fire
Genesis 39:6–20
What does it really look like to stand your ground when your integrity is under fire? Joseph’s story in Genesis 39 shows us a man who refused to compromise—even when temptation came knocking day after day, even when saying “no” cost him his reputation, his position, and his freedom.
In this message, discover how Joseph faced relentless temptation, stood firm in his convictions, and fled sin rather than flirting with it. His refusal to betray his master and sin against God reminds us that real integrity is who we are when no one’s watching—and sometimes, when everyone’s watching to see if we’ll fall.
You’ll see that: • Integrity resists compromise, even in private. • Integrity costs you something—but God honors it. • Integrity points us to the One who perfectly resisted temptation: Jesus.
Joseph’s life whispers the gospel: the innocent falsely accused, the righteous one condemned—so that God’s greater plan to rescue many could unfold. Joseph held fast to his integrity because he knew sin was ultimately against God. Jesus, the greater Joseph, resisted every temptation perfectly for us—and His obedience saves sinners who trust in Him.
In a world that laughs at virtue and normalizes compromise, this message will encourage you to fight for purity, flee sin, and trust that no suffering for doing right is wasted in God’s plan.
Watch and be reminded: It’s worth it to walk with integrity. The Lord is with you.
