    Joseph's life was filled with turmoil. He was an abandoned by his brothers, became a slave, accused of rape, and imprisoned. And yet, Joseph handled all of these situations with absolute faith that God was with him.

    I want to ask you a question that can actually shape how you view all of life. Whether times are good, or times are bad, what would you do if you absolutely knew God was with you? When you are truly confident that God is with you, it changes everything. We are talking about what it means to ...read more

    Many Christians balk at the words "He descended into hell" and wonder if this is really taught in Scripture. I’m attempting to clarify what occurred between the cross and the empty tomb.

    You Are Barabbas

    Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 14, 2013
     | 10,438 views

    There are so many places within scripture where the gospel is foreshadowed. The account of Barabbas’ release is one such place.

    This morning I would like to spend a short amount of time studying about a man that we do not know too much about, but a man that for a small amount of time plays an important role in the darkness and injustice that happens the day our Lord was crucified. The man I am speaking of is Barabbas. There ...read more

    If you have ever been abandoned and disappointed by other people, if you have ever felt forgotten by God, Genesis 40 has a word for you.

    (A few years ago, I called the IRS. I was really anxious to have them correct a mistake they’d made. They were saying I only had one daughter, when I knew perfectly well that I had two.

    Studies In Genesis: Chapter 40 Series

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 17, 2011
     | 5,666 views

    This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.

    Note: When doing a study on a book in the Bible you use a lot of resources. The major influence for me on this study of Genesis is The Genesis Record by Henry Morris. What happened in Genesis 39? So Joseph winds up in jail for a crime that he did not commit. This seems to be cruel and ...read more
