Joseph: From Slave To Deputy Pharoah

Contributed by Jeffery Anselmi on Jan 24, 2014

The Story- Chapter 3. Joseph is an example of a man who did not let his lower story dominate his life because he was focused on God's upper story!

INTRODUCTION • SLIDE #1 • Today we are going to look at the life of a man who was loved by his father, almost too much. This love from his father was so strong that his other brothers were terribly jealous and maybe rightfully so. • Joseph has a lot go wrong in his early life, ...read more

How It All Started

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jun 11, 2017

The creation story tells us: 1) God brings order out of chaos, 2) God creates all things good, and 3) God always has our best in mind. All of creation shouts out God's love for us!

Genesis 1:1-2:1 How it All Started Genesis 1 is one of the most beautiful, most carefully crafted sections of scripture. It’s kind of a mixture of poetry and prose. And its intent is clear: to show that God alone is creator of all. I heard about this one atheist scientist who came to God and ...read more

A Fool From Start To Finish

Contributed by Joseph Marshall on Apr 26, 2005

The Journey From Bethlehem To Nazareth

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Mar 24, 2020

We have our dreams for a perfect Christmas, but don't feel God has failed you if your dreams aren't met. Imagine how Mary's dreams for having a perfect birth for her baby were disrupted.

If we made a list of what it would take to make a perfect Christmas, it would be quite a list. Of course all the family needs to be together, all at the same time. Just that can be really complicated. For us, as near as we can tell, we’ll have one son coming in on the afternoon of the 25th and ...read more

Is There Any Word From The Lord?

Contributed by John Gaston on May 19, 2021

We think of ourselves as people of the Book, but when the Word of the Lord contradicts our lifestyle, we practice "selective hearing." God says, "Get off the fence! Get on the Lord's side or on the world's side!"

IS THERE ANY WORD FROM THE LORD? Jer. 37:2-17 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A teacher asked her class what was their favorite animal. Billy raised his hand, “Fried chicken.” She said, “No, I said what ‘animal.’” Billy responded, “Fried chicken!” She said, “I’m a member of PETA, the SPCA, Greenpeace, ...read more

Moses: From Contentment To Calling

Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025

Self-help says “look within” for happiness; Scripture says contentment comes from being humbled by God and satisfied in Christ. In Moses we’ll see that contentment often precedes calling, stays active (not complacent), and resists complaining—because Christ is enough.

Let me ask you a simple question, “Are you content?” I saw a self-help based article on the Internet that suggested contentment can be found by catching yourself thinking “life sucks,” and stopping such thinking. It continued that contentment is found by cultivating a thankfulness for “little ...read more

When The Father Said "go" Jesus Went

Contributed by David Nolte on Dec 15, 2019

We are often hesitant about launching out on new ventures even when we are sure God is saying "Go!"

Years ago, on a dangerous sea coast where shipwrecks often occurred prior to advanced navigation aids, there was a little life-saving station. The building was just a hut and they had only one boat, but the few devoted members kept a constant watch over the sea. When there was word of a ...read more

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Sep 9, 2023

Life and joy come from hearing from God. But to hear his voice, we must listen the right way.

But God

Contributed by Martin Holland on Oct 17, 2012

There is a phrase in the Bible that transitions from any given situation to an act of God. It is inspiring to read as a Christian the phrase "But God". I share some that are meaningful to me.

But God Genesis 50:15-21 There are times in our lives when the intentions of some toward us are not good and there are others things concerning us we are so undeserving.
