    The life of Joseph presents a classic portrayal of one who is a consumate example of what it means to live in true prosperity. Genesis 39 gives us keys to Joseph's, and our, prosperity.

    By the time you reach Genesis chapter 39, bible readers and Sunday school attendees have already discovered some things about Joseph. By the time we reach Genesis chapter 39, Joseph (the son of Jacob and Rachel who’s name means remover or increaser) is being delivered out of a pit. Ask me, ...read more

     | 3,650 views

    We live in a time where the proclamation of the Word of God is on a decline in our pulpits. As a Church we need to present and stand on the Word of God and proclaim it boldly to a lost and dark world.

    THE PROCLAMATION OF THE CHURCH ACTS 2:1-24 THERE ARE MANY THINGS THAT WE FOCUS ON WHEN IT COMES TO THIS PARTICULAR PASSAGE. SOMETIMES THE MAIN THEME FOR THE PASSAGE IS LOST IN OUR ATTEMPT TO PUSH OUR THEOLOGICAL AGENDA. WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT THE MAIN THEMES OF THIS PASSAGE ARE THE COMING OF ...read more

    Daily forgiveness frees me from the spiritual debris cluttering my life and prohibiting me from clearly seen Christ in my present situation and living in his power.

    A brother comes up to me and mentions the fact that my brakes are making a noise and I probably need to get new brake pads.

     | 4,419 views

    When face to face with our life's ambition, dreams, pursuits and plans, a question that will always present itself for comparison is, "How much do I really love Jesus?"

    At Christmas we all hope to either find or give the perfect gift. But if there was a present under the tree with Jesus' name on it, what would that look like? What would it contain?

    Introduction Now that the gifts are unwrapped; now that the family has come and gone, now that Christmas is over, did you get the perfect gift?

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,001 views

    As Winston Churchill rallied the British people, so Paul rallies Christians by urging us to review our motivations and to present something solid and not merely entertaining. Such a church will prevail and thrive.

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 19, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,591 views

    When our needs are real, we want genuine answers, not just appeasements. Look to self-esteem, look to the resources already present, and look to the Lord of victory for real answers.

    When you need something, and you ask for it, what do you expect? Do you expect an answer or an appeasement? Do you expect a clear-cut, usable answer to your request, or are you satisfied if you are just told, well, have a nice day? When you need something, and you ask for it, which really satisfies ...read more
