Overcoming Sexual Temptation Series

Contributed by Paul Barreca on Apr 24, 2013

Joseph is young and good looking, yet he overcame a serious sexual temptation. We can develop our strategy for victory by examining Joseph's response.

When I first studied Genesis 39 and the story of Joseph and Potophar’s wife, I thought initially that I would “tone down” the sexual content of this chapter. The story provided in this passage details Joseph’s vivid encounter with a seductive woman, and his victory as he ...read more

Faith Sighing Series

Contributed by David Scudder on May 6, 2012

Habakkuk does not deliver a message as much as he solves a problem. In chapter one we hear a sob, but chapter three ends with a song. Habakkuk's struggled with the same kind of problems we deal with today. Why doesn't God punish the wickedness we see ever

Purpose: To assure believers that God will ultimately use the wicked for our good and His glory. Aim: I want the listener to hate their own sin and pray for revival in our country. INTRODUCTION: The book of Habakkuk is unique. This prophet does not speak to his own people or to a foreign nation, ...read more

Studies In Genesis: Chapter 31 Series

Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 16, 2011

This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Jul 17, 2016

This message is a part of our 3:16 series and looks at the faith of the lead man carrying the ark into the Jordan River as they crossed into the promised land

He was the first of the twelve. Slowly he walked along; his pace governed by the other eleven. The load on his shoulder was a burden but wasn’t nearly as heavy as his thoughts. His feet moved as if they were on auto pilot and his eyes remained fixed on the river in the distance. The dark ...read more

Not In My House!

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Mar 10, 2015
