    What About Joseph?

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Nov 26, 2014
     | 5,530 views

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 16, 2022

    The idolatrous priest Amaziah tries to intimidate the prophet Amos. He did not appreciate Amos’ message against the king. But Amos wan't trying to be popular--God had called him out of an ordinary life of shepherding and gathering fruit. In other words, Amos was a nobody.

Joseph was just a boy with a dream. Ruth was an outcast, an outsider. Esther was just a regular Jewish girl. These people were ...read more

    Why did King Herod - and all of Jerusalem - miss the opportunity to go find Jesus in Jerusalem? And how can we avoid "missing" our opportunity find Jesus as well?

    We opened by singing the first verse and chorus of “We three kings of Orient are” “We three kings of Orient are, bearing gifts we traverse afar. Field and fountain, moor and mountain, following yonder star. CHORUS: O, star of wonder, star of night, star with royal beauty bright. Westward leading, ...read more
