In Your Dreams

Contributed by Perry Greene on Sep 17, 2013

This brief overview reminds us that Joseph is a picture of Jesus for us. However, he had to grow into his role. He was foolish; faithful; and finally formidable in his life before God and his family.

Dead To The World

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Nov 11, 2019

During the Last Supper, Jesus tells disciples that they are not of this world. And in the epistles, we see that Christians are dead to sin. In this message, we look at what it means to be dead but spiritually alive.

Dead To The World Let’s open with John 18:36. Jesus has been arrested and is being questioned by Pilate. “Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from ...read more

When I Feel Alone Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Apr 30, 2020

Social isolation is not the only cause of loneliness, there are many situations which cause us to feel alone. Jesus identifies with our loneliness and his sovereign grace gives us the ability to move beyond feelings of loneliness to a place of identity and purpose.

Jesus Is Still Sovereign Psalm 68:5-6 When I Feel Alone In these past 5 weeks have you said one of these phrases more regularly. “I feel isolated.” “I want to connect.” “I need other people.” “I feel alone.” There is no doubt that the situation we are faced with at the moment has caused a greater ...read more

Committed To Christ

Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Aug 28, 2019

You're trying to make the right decisions and live out your Christian life, but the more you try, the more difficult life seems to get. Our Christians lives are not always so glorious. Why do we continue? Where do find the glory of a life committed to following Christ?

Have you ever had one of those weeks where things seem to go wrong? You’re trying to do the right thing, make the right decisions, but it just doesn’t work out the way you thought it would. You set aside time for a family dinner, only to have it turn into sibling arguments, someone stomping away ...read more

Stubborn In Spirit, Persistent In Prayer

Contributed by Kimberly Belken on Sep 27, 2020

The Biblical woman of Hannah has much to teach us about prayer and trust in God. We learn to pound on the doors of heaven and that we can trust God to hear and answer us.

There was something fundamentally wrong with her. There had to be. It was the only explanation for Hannah’s inability to carry a child. Her husband, Elkanah’s second wife was able to conceive and bear children, a fact that she made sure to rub in every chance she got. Therefore, it had to be ...read more

God's Purpose Stands (Genesis 27)
