The Family Business

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Feb 21, 2022

We don’t know very much about Jesus’ process of maturation. The Gospels are rather silent about his growing up years, with Matthew being the only other canonical gospel that even offers a birth narrative, and he is silent on the years between birth and baptism.

TITLE: THE FAMILY BUSINESS SCRIPTURE: ST. LUKE 2:49 It was just two months ago we gathered here in the sanctuary as we celebrated the birth of our Lord and Savior.

Family Relatioships

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 13, 2021

This passage of scripture follows the one that spoke of what we should PUT ON and PUT OFF in our Christian lives. There are some things that are in our spiritual wardrobe, that are unbecoming to us to wear as Christians.

Illus: It is unbecoming for any man to wear a pair of orange pants with green stripes, and a purple shirt with polka dots. If a man insists on wearing such an outfit, people are going to laugh at him behind his back. Today a lot of folks are laughing behind the backs of some Christians. Paul ...read more

A Dysfunctional Family Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021

The beautiful story of Joseph has attracted a lot of attention through the years. Andrew Lloyd Weber thought so highly of the story that he developed the story of Joseph into a Broadway musical, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

The Christian And Their Family Series

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Jul 29, 2019

The Christian family was a revolution in Paul's day and should be so today.

At one point she said, “And do you know how the movie ends?” To which the older ...read more
