    Refuting The Entitled Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 7, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,990 views

    In entitlement thinking, “title equals entitlement.” Favor is demanded based on one’s status or position. It seems the descendants of Joseph felt entitled to more land because they were a large tribe; but bigger doesn't equal blessing.

    When it comes to possessing the land, we can’t just stand around waiting for someone to hand it to us. The same is true for those who are drawn to the work of God in our church and who want to partner with us. When we begin making an impact for the kingdom, and as we start leading others to ...read more

    God told Jacob an amazing thing: "Go into Egypt!"--he never told people to go into Egypt; that is a type of the world; in the New Testament, Jesus said, "Go into all the world..." from the life of Joseph we can learn how to prepare for our entry into the world!

    Before You Go into Egypt Genesis 46:1-4 Introduction: 1. God told Jacob an amazing thing--"Go down into Egypt!" 2. The reason is was such a surprising thing for God to do is that Egypt is always a type of the world--the heathenistic, Godless world. 3. In a similar ...read more

    We must work to understand what God has revealed, but it takes determined people to put that truth to work.

At a funeral, we sometimes have a sharing time; I usually say, "Nobody likes to be first, so who will be second?" 3. And sometimes we simply don’t make the changes we need to make because ...read more
