Joseph: A Dreamer In Prison Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jun 12, 2022

Joseph did not need to wait until he was standing before Pharaoh and put in charge of the whole land. Faithfulness to God is always the right path. Joseph needed to trust God the whole time he was the forgotten prisoner. And he did!

There are so many aspects to the story of Joseph. He is the favorite son of the Patriarch Jacob. His brothers burn with jealousy and hatred toward him because his ten older brothers know he is the favored one of his father. The special ornamented coat Jacob gave Joseph made that evident. The Joseph ...read more

Backseat Driver

Contributed by Joshua Blackmon on Feb 3, 2024

Letting God lead is easy when things are going the way we think they should. When God takes us down paths we don't like, we want to take the wheel of the proverbial car of life.

Backseat Driver Both our daughters have recently started a driver's education course. I can remember the very first time I was behind the wheel of a car. My dad decided to let me drive.

Healing Church - Helping Others Series

Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Oct 8, 2023

Seeking God’s Guidance - Psalm 25 Part 5 Series

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jul 11, 2019
