Sermons on Joseph Phillips:

The Universal Tool Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 24, 2021

You are only truly one with Jesus when you eat with Him. You are only truly one with anyone by means of eating with them. It was by means of food and eating that Joseph worked out reconciliation with his brothers.

Life revolves around eating, for where there is no eating there is no life. Our vacation made us all the more aware of this obvious truth, for everyday we had to make decisions about where we would eat. In Fort Lauderdale where we stayed there is a place to eat every few feet, and along the ...read more

Journey Of Love Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 4, 2017

God tells us that Joseph was a "just man" because he was "unwilling to put (Mary) to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly." What does that mean? And what does difference can it make to our faith?

When Destiny Helpers Locate You Series

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 10, 2025

Ezekiel gives us a lesson about two sticks. Israel was broken, two broken sticks. Israel was hopeless, God had a plan to reunite Judah and Joseph. God can bring harmony to the church and the family.

O Little Town Of Bethlehem Series

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Dec 1, 2024

Making Room

Contributed by Paul Newell on Dec 8, 2001

This is the second in an Advent Series. This message deals with those who neglected to notice Mary & Joseph in the inn. Thoughts for the direction of this sermon were greatly influenced by a John MacArthur message "The People Who Missed Christmas".

Making Room…Luke 2:1-7 Intro: (Read Text) He gets a pretty bum rap for someone we actually don’t even know exists. The Bible doesn’t mention him (or if he existed). Tradition talks a great deal about the fellow – but it’s still all tradition and folk-lore to be historically honest: that “poor ...read more

How Deeply Will You Repent? Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 30, 2005

Joseph tests his brothers - but he is not being capricious or vindictive - rather he is testing whether they are the same characters who tried to kill him. We learn important lessons about the kind of repentence we have.

When some people read Genesis 42-45 what they see is Joseph having some fun with his brothers in a sort of revenge, or pay back for what they had done to him as a boy. He could appear capricious and arrogant – flaunting his authority to inflict pain on his brothers. In fact, Joseph is trying to ...read more
