Joseph's Dream Series

Joseph and Mary had no say over the name of their first child. He was not named for anyone else, not for what character was hoped for him, but for the purpose for which he was born in the first place.

The Joseph Factor

Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Apr 23, 2022

In this sermon we look at a very special anointing on Joseph's life, that God wants to release on us today. Joseph had it, and we need it. All we have to do is ask for it.

I want to talk to you today about the Joseph factor. The first thing I want to say today is that I don't only want you to hear my words today, I want you to hear my heart. I'm not a person given to snap judgments, or to extremes. I'm pretty even tempered, and pretty even-keeled. ...read more

Jacob And Joseph Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 11, 2021

Nobody in the family but Joseph knew what was going on, and how God had made the salvation of Jacob's family possible by the position God had lead him to possess. Joseph did not need faith at this point, for he had knowledge, but Jacob needed faith, and that is where he was weak.

If the strong-willed child is the greatest challenge for parents, the strong-willed adult is the greatest challenge for God. The greatest obstacle to God's will being done on earth as it is in heaven is the strong stubborn self-will of man. All of the judgments of God through the Bible and ...read more

Joseph Of Arimathea Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 17, 2021

In taking Jesus to His new tomb Joseph was fulfilling the prophecy of Isa. 53:9, which said, "Men made His grave with the criminals, and He was with the rich in His death."

The danger of making a hero out of a man who does a great thing after a long time of doing nothing is that you give the impression that there was nothing lost by doing it that way. A man lives a life of sin, or of indifference to God's will, and suddenly he sees the light and is wondrously ...read more
