Branches Run Over A Wall

It’s not just about me, my family, my space, my time or my life but God wants you to be like Joseph, whose branches ran over a wall.

Over a wall Genesis 39:22 "Joseph is a fruitful bough, A fruitful bough by a spring; `Its` branches run over a wall.” I like the words that Joseph is a fruitful bough, now watch this, ‘the branches run over a wall. This here is superb! Run over a wall! I remember as a small girl I went to ...read more

A New Pharaoh

Contributed by Neal Rolett on Oct 9, 2022

When a new king came to power who had no memory of Joseph, he plunged the infant nation into a nightmare of brutal oppression. But within this darkness, some courageous women became the light.

A New Pharaoh (Exodus 1) We have spent the last few months studying the history of God’s people in the Old Testament. We finally finished the book of Genesis, but the story of God’s plan of redemption has really only just begun. The Children of Israel are not yet a nation. They are just the 12 ...read more

Making Dreams Come True Series

Contributed by Martin Holland on May 25, 2006

Romans 15:4 tells us whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning. I believe we can learn from Old Testament characters such as Joseph.

I believe we can learn somethings from Joseph concerning making our God given visions to come true. See: Genesis 37:8-11 He clearly dreamed this dream and it was revealed unto him that one day he would sit in a prominent seat somewhere. Note: I personally believe that in the Old Testament they ...read more

I Want Christmas To Be Over!

Contributed by Bradford Robinson on Oct 28, 2005

Christmas can be difficult and sometimes you just can’t wait until it is over. This sermon looks at the first Christmas through the eyes of Joseph and what it must have been like for him.

Maybe you can relate to this. I got this story from a friend of mine, and it tells the story of how the tradition of putting the angel of top of the tree began. When four of Santa’s elves got sick, and the trainee elves did not produce the toys as fast as the regular ones, Santa was beginning ...read more

Evalueation Series

Contributed by Paul Newell on Dec 14, 2006

In this second sermon in the series Discover the REAL Christmas we discover what is really valuable at Christmas. For Mary and Joseph, God’s grace, blessing and favor were worth more than anything!

My family had received a mailbox full of “valuable offers” every day this month. I can’t imagine the number of trees that sacrificed their lives so that I could be enticed with such valuable things as $200 belts, Christmas stockings for my kittens; toilet seat warmers...what a waste! Can you ...read more

God’s Orchestration Of Christmas Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Dec 14, 2009

It may seem like Jesus, Mary, and Joseph were at the mercy of innkeepers and emperors, but, in retrospect, the birth of Jesus amplifies God’s control and involvement in the entire matter. God is strong and in control.

God’s Orchestration of Christmas (Luke 2:1-7) 1. This story broke this week from the United Kingdom: " LONDON (Reuters) – Gone are the days of shepherds in tea towels and tinsel-clad angels.

"The Knock"

Contributed by Gerald Roberts on Dec 8, 2011

The sermon portrays Joseph knocking on the door and the Inn Keeper said, "there is no room." Also let us consider our response as Jesus is knocking on our hearts door and who will get the door.

“The Knock” Luke 2: 1-7 Dr. Bill Wilson was preaching a sermon explaining how the inn keeper just simply had no room for Jesus in the inn; as a result the Savior had to be born in meager circumstances in a manger for cattle. Explaining how God is calmly knocking on our ...read more

Have You Any Room Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 1, 2019

There was no room to be found for Mary and Joseph to stay in Bethlehem? Seriously? You'd think someone would have taken pity on a VERY pregnant woman that day, but no one did. Why not?

Several years ago, a church held a Christmas pageant with a group of 4 year-olds. Everything went along pretty well until Mary and Joseph “arrived” at the inn. The 4 year-old Joseph asked: “Do you have any room for us?”. “No,” replied the innkeeper, “the inn is full.” “But it’s so cold outside, ...read more
