    The story of Joseph stands out even more when you realize the kind of home he was raised in. He had a very passive father in Jacob.

    In our society, sin has become a "bad word." In the name of tolorance, Christians are excusing their own sin and the sins of others. This sermon deals with the reality of Sin based on God's Inspired Word.

    INTRODUCTION: Psychologist Karl Menninger asked this most significant question: WHATEVER HAPPENED TO SIN? This is a haunting question.
