    When the storms of life come, we must realize that God will give us the grace to make it through.

    Intro. We saw the change of a father, and then the attack of his own family. Joseph is in a storm that was the path God had for him, yet another attack was looming. An attack is not merely a threat of pain, or abuse. His brothers, those closest to him had attacked him. But now, an attack was ...read more

The premise of the book is simple: no successful person is a self-made man; everyone who gets to the top had a lot advantages, help, and luck. He devotes two chapters to ...read more

    In this sermon we learn how Joseph was able to resist the challenging temptation he faced from Potiphar's wife.

    Introduction: A. Let me begin by asking you: “What is it that is most tempting to you?” 1. I think it is funny to watch cats stare at a fish bowl or a bird cage – it is so representative of temptation’s attraction. 2. When I was a kid we had cats and they would sit and ...read more

    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.

    Note: When doing a study on a book in the Bible you use a lot of resources. The major influence for me on this study of Genesis is The Genesis Record by Henry Morris. In Genesis 39 there is one phrase that seem to be the common theme of this chapter. It is found in verses 2,3,21, and 23. ...read more

    One of my favorite stories, which I’m sure I’ve told before, is about a young paratrooper who was learning to jump.
