Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jul 6, 2022

There were 10 step-brothers, and they hated their step-brother. They stripped away Joseph's coat of many colors. They could not strip away the blessings. God replaced the coat of many colors with a new coat of authority and a ring of gold... the dreams came true.

THEY TOOK MY COAT! GOD DID NOT EXPLAIN THIS STRIPPING AWAY TO ME? THE DREAMER COMES? STRIP AWAY MY COAT… By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com *STRIP: often strip seems unfair, dishonest taking, to take away something, to remove all coverings, to leave bare, take off all the ...read more

Family Values

Contributed by Brad Froese on Sep 14, 2004

Each decade, the older generation imposes standards. Each decade, the younger generation pushes those envelopes a little further and sets up a standard of their own. Our families need a standard to measure up to, and the Word of God is that timeless stand

Trans-Generational Value

Contributed by Larry Wilson on Jun 26, 2014

Though necessary, I often find it hard to preach sermons to the women of our church in relation to their role as wives and mothers. Paul had a better idea. Much of such preaching could be done without the pastor. The aged women were to teach the younger!

Trans-Generational Values Mother’s Day Sermon 2014 May 11, 2014 Titus 2:3-5 Titus 2:3-5 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; 4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love ...read more
