Contributed by Stephen Todd on Apr 1, 2004

When confronted with sexual temptation, Joseph dropped his garment and ran. This is a good example for us to follow as we are confronted with sexual temptation daily.

Power Play Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 22, 2005

Jesus Christ came to earth to reveal the nature of the REAL boss the Lord God Almighty. He is pretty intimidating, so you’d think He would have a personality to match but He doesn’t. The boss of bosses does not follow the world?s leadership model

For more Bible Studies: visit www.CalvaryChapelNewberg.org There’s a saying in business that I’ve heard a lot. "Lead, follow, or get out of the way!"

Play It Safe Series

Contributed by Pat Cook on Oct 2, 2005

20th in series on Joshua. This is about the tribe of Manasseh wanting more land, but not willing to fight for it. They lacked courage, so they whined about their condition. Sound familiar?

Joshua 17:11-18 – Play It Safe I read of a report called Play It Safe. The report said, "Avoid riding in automobiles because they are responsible for 20% of all fatal accidents. Do not stay home because 17% of all accidents occur in the home. Avoid walking on streets or sidewalks because 14% ...read more

Playing The Fool Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 1, 2001

Words do hurt when they come from our unresolved anger. That anger is about our own issues, it requires accountability when it hurts others, it separates us from God when it is deliberate. Reconciliation is a priority.

Words have power. The things we say to one another have power. Kids may deal with smart-mouths in the schoolyard by chanting, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me.” But that’s rubbish! Don’t you believe it. Names do hurt. Words hurt. The things we say to each ...read more

There are 1000s of different churches with their various views on baptism. Can they all be right? Probably not, but why aren't they all "right"?

There was an antique collector passing through a small village when he saw an old man chopping wood with an ancient ax. “That’s a mighty old ax you have there,” he remarked. “Yep,” said the villager, “it once belonged to George Washington.” “George Washington???

Joseph's Monologue - A Christmas Play Series

Contributed by Eduardo Quintana on Oct 29, 2021

This is a powerful Christmas monologue. Christmas from the eyes of Joseph. A proper production can be very powerful.

Did you know that Joseph has no speaking parts in the Christmas story? The Bible never quotes anything that Joseph said. With that in mind, I want to take some creative liberties and put some words into Joseph's mouth. It's important to let you all know that this piece is just a creative ...read more
