Joseph's Sale Into Slavery

Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Feb 9, 2018

Joseph's salient slavery in Genesis 37:2-36 teaches us that God used the evil deeds of Joseph's brothers as part of his plan to save his people.

Scripture Today, I am beginning a new series of sermons that I am calling "Jacob's Descendants," based on Genesis 37-50. Most of this section of Genesis, however, deals with Joseph, Jacob's son, and it begins with his sale into slavery. Let's read about Joseph's sale into slavery in Genesis ...read more

Father, I Forgive Them

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Apr 9, 2018

When Jesus prayed for the Father to forgive those who were mistreating him I said in the sermon a couple of weeks ago that if Jesus can forgive those who mistreated him then we can forgive those who mistreat us. It's not easy, but we can do it.

FATHER, I FORGIVE THEM When Jesus prayed for the Father to forgive those who were mistreating him I said in the sermon a couple of weeks ago that if Jesus can forgive those who mistreated him then we can forgive those who mistreat us.

The Seriousness Of Forgiveness

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Apr 16, 2018

We are told to forgive because God forgave us. We can do that when we take off the old garments of bitterness and anger and replace them with love, compassion and humility. Today we'll see Jesus communicating how serious forgiving others is.

THE SERIOUSNESS OF FORGIVENESS Last week we looked into the subject of forgiveness. I started by saying we first had to answer the question of whether or not we want to forgive. And if we do we need to determine how to go about it. We looked at Paul's words in Eph., and Col. and saw that we are ...read more

Contributed by Suresh Manoharan on Jun 23, 2017

The message focuses upon the spiritual similarities that exist between Christ the Bridegroom and the Church His Bride!!!

THE INSEPARABLE DUO!!! Crack!Crack!Crack!

The Sacrificial Perspective Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 1, 2021

Selfishness does not care about the interests of others. It focuses on the self only. To give up this focus at all is to sacrifice some time, energy, thought, and possibly even some resources for the needs of others.

One of the major causes of human suffering is the fact that people see life from many different perspectives. While we were in Duluth we went to a park where we stood on a bridge and watched a bus load of junior boys and girls eat their lunch on the rocks below. A lovely stream flowed over the ...read more

Sowing Discord

Contributed by James Dina on Aug 7, 2020

Sowing discord among brethren is an abomination in the eyes of the Lord. Considering yourself better than others fosters division but considering others better than yourself fosters unity. Watch out for those who cause divisions and avoid them. Love binds us, discord separates us.

SOWING DISCORD “A perverse man sows’ strife, and a whisperer separates the best of friends” (Proverbs 16:28) Brethren are created by God to live in unity (How good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! (Psalm ...read more
