Sermons on Joseph Ondu:

I Am Joseph

Contributed by Duane Brown on Feb 20, 2006

7th in a series on the life of Joseph

Why was Joseph considered great? Why does the spirit of God seem to hover over his life more than any other person in the book of Genesis? Joseph wasn’t any superhero; he was just a mere man. He never walked on water, he didn’t possess a halo, he never performed a miracle, this guy seemed to be a ...read more

Joseph, A Remarkable Father

Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Jun 11, 2007

To many, Joseph is a mere footnote in biblical history but we can be sure that God was as concerned with who would be the earthly “father” of His Son as He was of who would be His mother.

JOSEPH, A REMARKABLE FATHER The birth of Jesus Christ came about this way: After His mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, it was discovered before they came together that she was pregnant by the Holy Spirit. 19 So her husband Joseph, being a righteous man, and not wanting to disgrace her ...read more

How to dream for God without getting disappointed

So whilst this is not the actual set of notes I preached from, it is a summary of those notes and an ...read more

Joseph The Grand Vizier Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Oct 16, 2006

Joseph was a key figure in Egyptian history, but was he Imhotep?

Joseph the Grand Vizier (Genesis 41) 1. The sermons and presentations in this series will be, by nature, uneven. Some weeks, more Bible less Egyptology. Other weeks vice-versa. I could solve this by speaking for two hours at a shot, thus giving us a balanced mixture. Some instinct in me tells ...read more

Christmas According To Joseph

Contributed by Jonathan Mcleod on Dec 10, 2006

Joseph’s part in the Christmas story exemplifies a new kind of righteousness.

In nativity scenes he stands silently next to the manger in which the baby Jesus is placed. His name is Joseph and some might think that he plays an unimportant role in the Christmas story. In fact, he is not even given a single line to speak! Should we neglect Joseph? Should we skip Joseph’s ...read more

What Was Joseph Thinking?

Contributed by Steve Greene on Nov 29, 2006

What was Joseph thinking that night outside the stable. Have you ever thought about it? What would have been going through your mind? This message challenges us to do what Joseph did. He obeyed God even when it didn’t make sense.

What was Joseph Thinking? It may sound a little bit morbid to begin a message like this, but I have always told my wife, when I die, if she believes it can be said with integrity, I want my epitaph to include Genesis 6:22. Genesis 6:22 (NIV) 22 Noah did everything just as God commanded him. My ...read more

Joseph The Holy Man Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Dec 9, 2013

Not much is said about Joseph the husband of Mary in the Holy Bible. But the simplicity of his story in Matthew 1 can lead to some conclusions indicating that he was a man who loved God and had amazing character traits! PTL!!
