    Here’s a different look at the parable of the lost son from Luke 15. It’s a narrative sermon that focuses not as much on the lost son, but more on the rest of the story...the older brother’s reaction.

    The Older Brother 2/24/2008 AM By Matt Stidham for the Whitewright Church of Christ I’d like to begin by telling you a story this morning. This story is a pretty common family story...while you’re listening to this story, some of you might be able to think of a family you know that could very ...read more

    It is said that every man or woman's life contains sufficient material for a great novel. Joseph's life certainly did.

    Chuck Swindoll in his book entitled “Joseph” writes, “The Bible is the supreme Book on human personality. From Adam in Genesis to Satan in the Apocalypse, its portraits are unforgettable. Augustine wrote how men wander over the earth and wonder at the rivers and the mountains ...read more

    God created us to walk with Him, to trust Him, and believe in Him, just like the life of Joseph.

    We can picture Joseph wearing that elegant Egyptian headdress he probably wore. We can picture him as he was living the lifestyle of an Egyptian, which he certainly lived. We can picture him in the court of the Pharaoh, second in command to the most powerful man on earth. Joseph was given this ...read more
