Ugly Praise

Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Jan 17, 2012

Sometimes life puts you in hard places, and you hurt and you cry: but never forget that God is worthy of your praise (Even if all you have is an Ugly Praise) give it to God, and watch what he does.

When Life Takes An Unexpected Turn Series

Contributed by Rodney Kelley on Sep 7, 2009

When life takes an unexpected turn, will we trust God?

Intro. Last week we saw that Jacob’s life changed before Joseph was born. Joseph had been trained well by his father. Not the same could be said about the rest of the sons. Jacob had been very passive in the lives of Joseph’s older brothers, but apparently more involved in the life of Joseph. ...read more

There'll Always Be An Egypt

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 27, 2009

We are either dreamers or detractors, but God will use both. Whatever is worth doing begins as a dream; and the dreamers redeem the detractors. There will always be ministry to do.

The world is made up of two kinds of people. The dreamers and the detractors. Dreamers and detractors. Dreamers look at the world as it is, and see new possibilities. Detractors look at the world and see nothing but disaster. Dreamers look at the world as it is and know it can be better. ...read more

Dirty Praise

Contributed by Sean Dees on May 3, 2021

You can start filling your pit with your faith and praise, you can praise your way out, you can shout your way out, you can dance your way out, you can run your way out, you can fill your pit with praise.

I. It all started with a dream! A. Joseph was loved above all Jacob’s children; so much so that he was given a coat of many colors that set him apart from the others. Because of his father’s love and favor for Joseph he was hated by his brothers. 1. Let me say here that favor will ...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.

If you think you’re job is hard, think about this… Just like an NFL quarterback, NASA will schedule the launch of a rocket in an open window.

When Things Go Wrong...

Contributed by Melvin Newland on Feb 16, 2020

In some ways it is rather amazing that Joseph, the son of Jacob, ever amounted to anything. It was obvious to his 10 older half-brothers that Joseph was “Daddy’s favorite.”

Betrayal

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 10, 2022

Betrayal takes a while from which to recover. Trust must be rebuilt.

The Lord got me to thinking about the many pitfalls that we go through in life. So I thought for the next few weeks we'll see what instructions the Bible can give us on how to overcome these pitfalls. Today I want to specifically talk about the pitfall of betrayal. You know trust is a ...read more

Joseph: Sold Into Slavery Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jun 10, 2022

Joseph was stirring up the anger of his brothers because he was a tattletale. Already the seeds of strife and discord are being sold between Joseph and his brothers with this bad report he brought about them.

Origin Series

Contributed by Steve Ely on Jul 5, 2022

Mean? They Took My Coat!

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jul 6, 2022

There were 10 step-brothers, and they hated their step-brother. They stripped away Joseph's coat of many colors. They could not strip away the blessings. God replaced the coat of many colors with a new coat of authority and a ring of gold... the dreams came true.

THEY TOOK MY COAT! GOD DID NOT EXPLAIN THIS STRIPPING AWAY TO ME? THE DREAMER COMES? STRIP AWAY MY COAT… By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com *STRIP: often strip seems unfair, dishonest taking, to take away something, to remove all coverings, to leave bare, take off all the ...read more

Maximize Your Experience - Genesis 37:5-36 Series

Contributed by Scott Turansky on Jul 25, 2021

There are two different aspects of the Christian life. I call it the academic side and then also the experiential side.

Here Comes Trouble Again! # 2b

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022

In the previous sermon, we established that one of the things that distinguishes us from each other is the way we conduct ourselves when troubles come our way.

When the good times come, we all respond basically the same way. For example, when someone asks us HOW WE ARE, all of us just give them a big smile and we say, “GREAT!” In the difficult times, we can see the difference in people. When the difficult times come and you ask them HOW THEY ARE. . . • ...read more

Here Comes Trouble Again! # 2a

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022

When things are going right for MOST of us, folks ask us how we are and we give them a big smile and say that things are GREAT!

Our differences are revealed, not during our GOOD TIMES, but during the BAD TIMES in our lives! One thing we all seem to do during the DIFFICULT TIMES in life is to turn to our friends for sound advice. Most of the time when we do this what we get is not good sound advice, but a lot of RHYMES ...read more
