Time Heals All Wounds And Other Lies We Beleive About Conflict Series

Contributed by Paul Barreca on Sep 2, 2012

This sermon focuses on the broken relationship of Jacob and Esau. We will learn that broken relationships must be healed through confession and forgiveness in a way that honors both TRUTH in judgement and GRACE in forgiveness.

We’ve been told that Time heals all wounds. Our unwillingness to confront sin, or talk about broken relationships confirms that at least some of the time, we follow this advice. But as we know, time does not heal all wounds. Come with me to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem. Roman ...read more

Questions In Genesis (Answers In The Gospels)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on May 31, 2024

Genesis does not give us the final answers. Rather it poses a lot of questions and mysteries which are only answered later in the Gospels. Let's look at some of those questions.

Let’s look at some of those questions. At creation, God described humanity as “very good.” Are we now totally depraved or ...read more

Father To Pharaoh

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 16, 2009

There is pain in family relationships. Jacob’s emptiness created Benjamin, the zero. Judah repeats parental manipulation. But Joseph shows that God’s grace can turn family pain into accomplishment.

The emotional scene we are about to confront comes out of a long history of deals and double deals. When this man stands before his brothers and weeps, his tears flow out of a whole reservoir of pent-up feelings. When this man, this strong, savvy, sophisticated official, cries out in a pain so ...read more
