    Joseph, serving as Jesus’ earthly father figure, was an exemplary father. He was not only an excellent role model for his son, but within Joseph lies a certain character trait, which just happens to be Jesus’ strongest attribute.

    The Christian singer Michael Card wrote a piece entitled Joseph’s Song. To begin this morning, I am going to read a few lines from this song. Listen closely, and from what you know about Joseph from the Bible, think about whether these words could have come from Joseph’s own heart: Lord I know ...read more

    A man has an essential relation to the earth (Adama), that he belongs to the earthly sphere below. The word ‘Human’ is derived from ‘Humus’. Man is capable of auto-determination. He is free, has free will to decide the course of life.

    Test: Roman 16:13 “Be on guard; stand firm in your faith [in God, respecting His precepts and keeping your doctrine sound]. Act like [mature] men and be courageous; be strong.” Theme: Be a Man Introduction: The Lord is good and his love endures forever. I greet you all in the name of our Lord and ...read more

    This world desperately needs fathers who imitate Jesus. This sermon describes seven ways in which earthly fathers must imitate Jesus. I would be delighted if you could rate this sermon and give brief feedback.

    A young boy was asked, "What's special about Mother's Day?" The boy retorted that "It's a day when mothers are treated like queens. They get a break from cooking as Dads take the family to a restaurant. And the mothers even get some gifts on that day." Then, he was ...read more

    A Father's Day message in which we discover the blessing of our Heavenly Father's (and earthly father's) "chastening" or discipline. (This sermon is in "outline form." You will need to reformat the layout because of the way it appears on this site.)

    Our Fathers’ Chastening June 19, 2016 - When I was growing up, I could ALWAYS count on my parents to discipline me when I needed it, because they loved me > If my parents disciplined me because they loved me, it makes sense that, because of His love for me, God will discipline me when ...read more

    First and foremost, we want to give thanks to our Heavenly Father, one of the greatest Fathers of all. Although we will poke fun at our earthly fathers’ we at the same time will give honor to them and God.

    Ephesians 6:1-4 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: “that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.” And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in ...read more

    During His first visit, the people of Decapolis desired Jesus to depart from them. When He returned, they were glad to see Him, and desired healing. They declared: He has done all things well. No doubt our Lord does all things well.

    Doing all Things Well Mark 7: 31-37 In our text today we find Jesus on a journey, making His way from the Gentile cities of Tyre and Sidon to the Sea of Galilee. He had taken a route that brought Him through the region of Decapolis on the east side of Galilee. This is the same region where Jesus ...read more

    Christ, while facing His crucifixion, offered a prayer to the Father for His disciples as well as you and I that ends showing Christ' desire for us to be forever with Him in Glory someday. His prayer is a beautiful reminder of His love for us and a desire for us to do well.

    THE PRAYER OF OUR SAVIOR John 17 Text- John 17:9 INTRODUCTION Looking at our text, it is important that we understand what is occurring during this time in the life of Christ as well as what his disciples are about to encounter in their walk.

    If you do allow the Holy Spirit to lead your life, then you naturally won’t want to gratify the desires of the flesh. But, if you allow the flesh to lead your life, then you will naturally begin to gratify the desires of the flesh. Live by the Spirit's leading!

    I recall an episode of Star Trek Voyager that always hit me very hard. It was called Timeless. The Voyager was a spaceship that had ended up far, far from home, and it was slowly making it’s way back through unknown territory.

    Sometimes, the most detrimental thing God can do is to grant us our desires. The prodigal son's journey to a 'far country' symbolizes a place that first exists in our hearts. This journey and his eventual return home teaches us about the dangers of desire and the power of forgiveness.

    Today, we will explore the parable of the Prodigal Sons, which is the third story in a series of parables told by Jesus. This parable, along with the stories of a lost coin and a missing sheep, teaches us important lessons about God's love and forgiveness. Let us dive into the story and uncover its ...read more

     | 1,616 views

    A person may slip and stumble during their spiritual walk, just like a person can trip and tumble during their physical walk. But what happens afterward?

    The genuine soul falls as an explorer may do, by faltering at some stone in his way. However, he gets up, and goes on his way with more consideration and speed. The writer might be utilizing the word “falls” not in the feeling of falling downward into transgression, yet in the feeling of being ...read more
