    Joseph was a man who had many things go against him. Some of these were his own doing, some were from the Adversary, and some were the testing of God. As a result of Joseph's faithfulness, the nation of Israel and line of Jesus were preserved.

    Years ago there was a TV show called The Honeymooners. Art Carney played one of the characters on the show, Ed Norton - a kind of happy go lucky, but fairly slow thinking worker in the sewer systems of the city.

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,705 views

    Celebrating Jesus Christ, whether His birth or His resurrection, does not depend upon society’s recognition or the binding of Satan, but, rather, our convictions.

     | 4,958 views

    What things do we boast in? What things are we proud of? What things do we try to show God as making us acceptable?

    Helping Children To Know God

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on May 10, 2015
     | 6,098 views

    Children need to know God's Truth; they can't simply take on their parent's beliefs, but need to understand and receive the truth of God on their own. Parents have a responsibility to guide children in the way they're to go.

    Being a parent is an enormous responsibility. I can’t think of anything in life that’s more challenging. I’ve been to war, and I’ve had kids; war was easier. Proverbs 22:6 tells parents to “Train up children in the way they should go, and when they are old, they ...read more

    When it comes to sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ, it helps if we understand the approach Paul took. Let’s look at 3 principles that will help us become more frequent sharers.

    The Gospel Happens in Athens (Acts 17:16-34) 1. Philosophers can be interesting and sometimes deep.

    Today we begin a new message series entitled, “Spring Training.” As you may know, Spring training is baseball’s equivalent to the preseason and it started sometime around 1870 when teams went out to California and Arizona to get ready for the real season.

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Jul 14, 2020
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,695 views

    In order to understand the parables of Matthew 13 one must begin with Matthew 12 and the challenge of the Pharisees. These parables are about those who are receptive to the Word of God. The farmer scatters the seed. Let God do His thing. Tell "God Stories."

    A Gracious Call To A Social Outcast (Mark 2:13-17) Series

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 25, 2021
     | 3,119 views

    So many people today feel like they exist more than they live, thinking that everything in this world is against them and that no one cares. Matthew, the tax collector, is just such a case. It turned out that Jesus had a plan for him, and for you as well.

    Jesus' compassion for people is evident as we progress through this Gospel. This display of Divine love is recorded by Matthew and Luke as well. The Lord Jesus is not the exclusive property of any group or man- made religious system. Nobody can mold Him into one particular behavior to suit ...read more

    There is a time for fasting for the glory of God, and then there are times to enjoy food, company, and good times. However, some people are not satisfied with anything and prefer to stay miserable, indecisive, and closed to what God has in store for them.

    What Peter drives home to any that would listen in Cornelius’s house, is the same truth that you and I should hear today: without Jesus, we are lost and without a Lord to redeem us in eternity.

    The British have a condescending saying: “How odd of God to choose the Jews.”

    The British have a condescending saying: “How odd of God to choose the Jews.” They sneeringly look down on God’s chosen people. Yet God’s choice is not odd. The Jews chose God.

    God’s grace replaces our stone hearts with living ones, using unlikely means to prove salvation beats only by His mercy.
