Joseph: Tempted By Potiphar’s Wife Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jun 10, 2022

With the blows that Joseph received you would think he was down for the count. No matter wherever Joseph found himself he would make the best of a bad situation. Joseph would always prove faithful with the little and prove trustworthy to be faithful with much.

When we think of people who made it to the top we might forget their failures. Abraham Lincoln, who is considered by many as the greatest and most loved president failed his way forward.

Joseph: A Dreamer In Prison Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jun 12, 2022

Joseph did not need to wait until he was standing before Pharaoh and put in charge of the whole land. Faithfulness to God is always the right path. Joseph needed to trust God the whole time he was the forgotten prisoner. And he did!

There are so many aspects to the story of Joseph. He is the favorite son of the Patriarch Jacob. His brothers burn with jealousy and hatred toward him because his ten older brothers know he is the favored one of his father. The special ornamented coat Jacob gave Joseph made that evident. The Joseph ...read more

Divine Settlement

Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Jun 30, 2022

As we all desire to settle down in life and enjoy God's goodness, I hereby affirm that settlement is indeed possible if we let God have His way, as it is His promise to settle and establish us - as stated in 1 Chronicles 17:14.

Settlement means ? “an official agreement intended to resolve a dispute or conflict ...” (Google) ? As far as I am concerned, this is the best realm of settlement that anyone could wish for. I say this because, once upon a time, we were in conflict with God because of the fall of man in the garden ...read more

Even The Bad Times Are Good

Joseph's life is a testament to God's promise that He is always there and He can bless us even in the hardest of times.

Even the Bad Times Are Good By Joe Mack Cherry I. Introduction A. Country Music 1. Building a sermon around the sentiment of a country music song could get a little dicey. 2. There were a few wholesome songs for us old enough to remember them. 3. Thus, the title of today’s lesson B. Even the ...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

Bouncing Back (Part One)

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 23, 2021

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.

Have you witnessed two brothers or sisters, who were so different in their personality, you wondered, “How could these two people come from the genetic pool?” Today, I want you to see two brothers who were very different from each other.

Tamar - A Christmas Story Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 16, 2021

Instead of seeing them for who they were, Judah blames Tamar for their deaths. Because he blamed her, he outwardly played the respectable father-in-law part for society but he inwardly and secretly deceived his daughter-in-law. Judah doesn’t want to admit what a mess his family is.

We begin a short series designed to make room in your heart to worship Jesus, entitled The Mothers of Jesus. This isn’t going to feel like a Christmas series, but I promise you it is. I want to tell you a story a messy, gritty story about injustice, sex, and cover-up. It’s the story of a baby’s ...read more
