Jacob And Joseph Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 11, 2021

Joseph The Actor Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 11, 2021

Joseph is wearing a mask and playing a role that is not his real self, and that is what an actor does.

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 12, 2021

Walking With God

Contributed by Anthony Zibolski on Mar 12, 2021

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 17, 2021

Romantic love is to be celebrated because the whole redemption plan of God's love revolves around the romance of human love.

Sir Wilfred Grenfell, the famous medical missionary to Labrador, was a fast worker when it came to falling in love.

Joseph and Benjamin. Genesis 43:1-34 Chapter 43 of Genesis serves at least two functions. First, it reveals the fears of Jacob and his sons to be entirely groundless.
