    This sermon explores Joseph's deathbed faith, where he rejected the glory of an Egyptian burial and commanded his bones be carried to the Promised Land, serving as a silent testimony of hope to Israel for 400 years that God would one day lead them home.

Or as one man said, "The average man lays down the law and then accepts his wife’s ammendments." Yet, let us take ...read more

A woman approached one of them on the street and asked, "Are you the one who preaches?" "No," came the answer, "I'm the one who practices." ...read more
