     | 511 views

    Joseph came from a long line of spectacular failures. Lies. Deceit. Theft. Favoritism. Greed. Lust. Murder. You name the sin and we will probably find it somewhere in Joseph’s Family Tree.

    January 11, 2025 As we approach the end of Genesis, there is one conclusion we can come to – People struggle. More often than not, when faced with a moral or ethical choice our list of characters failed. And they did so in spectacular fashion. Joseph came from a long line of spectacular ...read more

     | 571 views

    It is said: SOON OR LATER ALL THINGS COME TO AN END. In Genesis t is recorded after each name: AND HE DIED. Seems we are so invested in materialism that we over look THE ETERNAL VALUE SYSTEM. All things that we see will come to an end. BE READY.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,091 views

    We all have regrets, things we've done or have had done to us in the past. Paul describes two ways of dealing with these regrets- worldly and godly. Consider these thoughts from our Family Minister Scott Jewell on living without regret.

    Our current series is called “What Keeps You Up At Night?” We’ve explored anger/bitterness, concern for family, and today I want to talk about regret. It’s the idea of dealing with our mistakes/sins, whether real or perceived from our past. Personally, the concept takes me back to my ...read more

     | 1,333 views

    Yahweh protected David throughout the wilderness years and for the most part, David relied on Yahweh and put his loyalty to Him above all other considerations. However, there is one glaring moment when David decided to go it alone ---- with disastrous consequences.

     | 2,391 views

    Every human being is God’s creation. A person made in His image. Only when we are properly related to God can we experience the fullness God intended for us.

    It is said that Socrates was obsessed with one central aim in his search for wisdom: To know himself. The basic question is what is man? This is a legitimate question. When a young man leaves home traveling aimlessly in search of “finding himself” he is looking for the answer to an important ...read more

    It is only in Jesus Christ that we are reconciled to God, to each other, to creation, and to truth itself.
