    Joseph: Rejected But Respected Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Aug 11, 2022
     | 4,018 views

    The life of Joseph, son of Jacob, is one of the most interesting in the Bible. This message is mostly a summary of his life, from slave to sovereign to sustainer. Don't we all wish there were more Josephs!

That’s true, but that’s only part of the story. In fact, Joseph spent several years away from his family in a foreign land, rising ...read more

    Does God Exist? - A Look At Atheism, Agnosticism, And Theism

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jan 31, 2024
    based on 4 ratings
     | 960 views

    The question 'Does God exist?' has only two possible direct answers: Either 'yes,' which is theism, and 'no,' which is atheism.

    The agnostic responds with 'I don't know' and 'no one knows,' which is actually an affirmative answer that has never been established, so the question is meaningless because they are not direct answers. (See ...read more
