Studies In Genesis: Chapter 40 Series

Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 17, 2011

This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.

Note: When doing a study on a book in the Bible you use a lot of resources. The major influence for me on this study of Genesis is The Genesis Record by Henry Morris. What happened in Genesis 39? So Joseph winds up in jail for a crime that he did not commit. This seems to be cruel and ...read more

The Injustices Of Life

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 18, 2022

Life can throw many hard things at us. We may even be tempted to let our hope in God fade. We want to scream, “Where is the justice?” As we move along a little further in Joseph's life God would want us to be encouraged that he will always see his children through.

Today I want to talk about the injustices of life. Have you walked through a season when you couldn't seem to catch a break? Did you ever wonder if good days would ever return? Maybe you lost a job around the same time a loved one died. Or you were going through a painful divorce just as ...read more

God Is Able To Fulfill His Promises – Are We Willing?

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 9, 2023

Is it possible that we could in some ways hinder God from fulfilling the promises that He made to us? This message will teach us what we should let go off to be partakers of God’s divine promises.

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

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 19, 2023

The plan that God has for our lives will certainly be fulfilled if we honor God and remain faithful to Him and the relationships that He has entrusted to us. When God chooses to lift one up, no man can do anything to stop it.

For the past few weeks we are considering the importance of relationships, especially those pertaining to marriage and family. I would like to share a couple of testimonies from last week.
