There are a number of parallels between the life of Joseph and that of Jesus.  This week we look at the ascension of them both.

This short 12 minute episode is "Just the Word" of God on the topic of abortion.

The story of Joseph in Genesis is a wonderful foreshadowing of the life of Christ.  Both were preferred by their Fathers, both were hated by their brothers, both were falsely accused, both were tempted without giving in to temptation, both were exalted to the throne.

The story of Joseph in the book of Genesis is the best foreshadowing of Christ in all of Scripture.

Jacob learns trust.

Jacob had to learn how to put his full trust in God.

Jacob had to learn to put all his trust in God; not in himself, or others.

God was at work sanding off Jacob's rough edges.  He was changing him from a deceiver, to a patriarchal man of faith.

The future of the church depends on the spiritual lives of the church's individual members.  Jesus said that if we "abide in Him" we will bear much fruit. 

In our study of Scripture today we discover that if we are filled with God's Spirit, we will be filled with singing, thankfulness, and service.

We are continuing with our study in John 15 around the subject, "How do I Abide in Christ?"  Jesus promised His disciples that if they abided in Him, they would produce much fruit.  That is our desire as a church, but how do we do it?

This episode was in response to a survey we took concerning our overall health.

This is the third sermon around the subject of Joseph from the book of Genesis.  Joseph is unique in that his life is life a scale model for the later life of Christ.  In this sermon we look at his imprisonment and exaltation.

The story of Jacob in the Old Testament is the story of God's salvation.  Jacob was first chosen, then God worked on him to give him victory over his sinful nature, his dysfunctional nurture, his personal narcissism, and over the nincompoops of his life.

We finished up our messages about the legacy that Abraham left, and how he is an example for us.

After discovering truths about God from the life of Abraham, we now look at his life to discover how to leave a Godly legacy.  

While Abraham went through a major change in his life, He needed to know some things about the God who called him to make those changes: God is in control, God chose Abraham, and God keeps His promises. In this message we continue looking at the promises that God has made to all of His children.

We have been looking at life lessons during times of change.  We have been considering Abraham as an example of how to face those changes.  He knew that God was in control, that he was chosen, and that God keeps His promises. We think on the same things as we go through change.  Today we look at the last; God keeps His promises.  But what are God's promises to the Christian. Here are seven; p...

Abraham is a great example for Christians on going through times of transition.  He had a right attitude toward God, and he responded to God's instruction with obedience.

We receive guidance from God by His Spirit, by prayer, and by His Word.

This is the final sermon in the series over the Tower of Babel.  In it we conclude our doctrinal statements that arise from the story.  In this we discover how the people responded to the flood judgment, how God responded to the sin of the Tower of Babel, and who is in control.

As we continue our journey through the Bible we come to the story of the Tower of Babel and its doctrinal lessons.  The first lesson we learned from it was that all of mankind is one race.  In this message we will consider two more doctrinal statements.  The first is that death is inevitable.  The second is that mankind's natural inclination is to follow after sin.

In Genesis 10 through 11 the Bible describes the event that answers many doctrinal questions.  The first of them is, "Are we many races, or just one race?"  This message explores the answer to that question.
