Joseph And Pharoah - Joseph Out Of Prison Series

Contributed by Claude Alexander on Sep 24, 2020

Affliction is always pure gold in the making for the child of God. This is a truth that is repeated throughout pages of Scripture. Even though it looks like nothing is happening, like nothing will ever change, circumstances are being aligned so that God's plan is working.

Joseph out of the prison Gen. 41: 1-56 When we last left Joseph, he was serving out a sentence for a crime he didn't commit in a place where the sun never shines - the dungeon for the king's prisoners. Chapter 41:1 tells us that Joseph has marked two entire years doing hard time. Two ...read more

Searching For Jesus

Contributed by Mathew Philip on Jan 23, 2021

The story of Joseph and Mary searching for Jesus is an invitation to consider where your are in your journey of faith. If your relationship with God has grown stale, the good news is that Jesus is right where he is supposed to be, just waiting for you to find him.

When Jesus was 12 years old, his parents went to Jerusalem as they did every year at the feast of the Passover. When the feast was ended, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it, but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day's ...read more

Mary’s One-Line Sermon

Contributed by Jim Bennett on May 7, 2011

A sermon extrapolating and applying Mary’s words to the servants at the wedding at Cana and applying them to our walk with Christ; for Mothers’ Day specifically, but appropriate for all occasions.

It has been said that behind every great man there is a great wife; it should also be said that before every great man, there was a great mom. I have entitled this message, “Mary’s One-Line Sermon,” and I’m going to let some of you down now and tell you that, although Mary’s sermon was only one ...read more

Joseph’s Dilemma (Advent, December 2016)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Nov 21, 2022

Until Joseph understood what was going on, he was trying to figure out a way to get out of the commitment. The Bible says that he did not want to expose her and publicly disgrace her.

JOSEPH'S DILEMMA Text: Matthew 1:18-25 JOSEPH'S DILEMMA Text: Matthew 1:18-25 Matthew 1:18-25  Now the birth of Jesus the Messiah took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found to be with child from ...read more

Learning To Accept One Another Series

Contributed by Kenneth Squires on Jan 13, 2004

So what is the Joseph effect? For Joseph it wasn’t about labor (carpentry), it was about love. Life is about love.

18 This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. 19Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had ...read more

"The Inn Hospitality"

Contributed by Bruce Lee on Nov 30, 2014

This is a deeper look at the translation "no room for them in the inn." It is not about there not being enough "space for lodging' but turns to become more about there not being enough "hospitality" for Joseph, Mary, and Jesus.

“the inn hospitality” “And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.” Luke 2:7 (NKJV) Intro: There has been much deliberation and speculation over the whereabouts ...read more

Walking The Road To Bethlehem: Mary Learns She Will Bear The Son Of God

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 2, 2021

Why do we remind ourselves of the coming of Jesus? I always wondered that as a child. The reason is very simple: The cares of this world, job, college, family, and the various pleasures of life can crowd out the true center of our lives, which is Jesus.

Welcome, officially to the Christmas season. As we call it, “advent.” Why do we have this season of advent? What is advent? Advent literally means “the arrival.” And specifically, the arrival of an important individual. So this advent season we’re going to be taking a journey, to recall and refresh ...read more
