Hard Times

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jun 1, 2022

Life is full of ups and downs. God wants us to always stay focused on Him when times or good or bad. Don’t give up on God, but don’t forget about Him either.

For the past few weeks we've been talking about things like betrayal, temptation, and the injustices in our lives. Today I want to group all of that together and just talk a little bit about hard times in general. Life is full of ups and downs. A star quarterback throws a game-winning ...read more

Joseph: A Dreamer In Prison Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jun 12, 2022

Joseph did not need to wait until he was standing before Pharaoh and put in charge of the whole land. Faithfulness to God is always the right path. Joseph needed to trust God the whole time he was the forgotten prisoner. And he did!

There are so many aspects to the story of Joseph. He is the favorite son of the Patriarch Jacob. His brothers burn with jealousy and hatred toward him because his ten older brothers know he is the favored one of his father. The special ornamented coat Jacob gave Joseph made that evident. The Joseph ...read more

The Joseph Factor

Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Apr 23, 2022

In this sermon we look at a very special anointing on Joseph's life, that God wants to release on us today. Joseph had it, and we need it. All we have to do is ask for it.

I want to talk to you today about the Joseph factor. The first thing I want to say today is that I don't only want you to hear my words today, I want you to hear my heart. I'm not a person given to snap judgments, or to extremes. I'm pretty even tempered, and pretty even-keeled. ...read more

From The Pit To The Palace

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 2, 2022

Joseph was thrown into a pit on two separate occasions. However, as a result of his faithfulness during those circumstances, he was delivered from the pain and drudgery of his pit experiences to go on and live in a palace!

He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps. - King David(1) Do you ever feel like you’re in a deep, dark pit with no way out? Maybe God spoke to you about doing a particular task or ministry and you’ve been faithful to ...read more

Now Is Not The End

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Nov 26, 2021

This teaching looks at the life of Joseph and how circumstances did not prevent God from being with him and working through him.

We’re going to look at Joseph, who was Jacob’s second youngest son. Remember how his father had given him the coat of many colors? It was a coat that set him apart from his brothers in terms of authority and rank in the family. Remember how his brothers were none too happy with him having that ...read more

Joseph: Rejected But Respected Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Aug 11, 2022

The life of Joseph, son of Jacob, is one of the most interesting in the Bible. This message is mostly a summary of his life, from slave to sovereign to sustainer. Don't we all wish there were more Josephs!

Introduction: What comes to mind when you think about Joseph, son of Jacob? Many of us, including me, tend to think first of his “coat of many colors” and his dreams. That’s true, but that’s only part of the story. In fact, Joseph spent several years away from his family in a foreign land, rising ...read more

God's people are filled, anointed, rushed upon, by the Holy Spirit, OT and NT. What does the OT teach us, about what the filling does?
