Our children lived in the Middle East, in a country that was Islamic. Their day of worship was a Friday and just a part of the Friday at that. Most of the Christian Churches held their worship services on a Friday although some either included a Sunday or only used a Sunday for Worship. The […]
Over and over in the New Testament we are called to watch our spiritual walk because we are so weak and frail, ready to bend and fall into the traps our enemy, the evil one who sets these for us. None of us who follow the Lord Jesus can deny how prone we are to […]
Have you heard people saying that should God ask of them why He ought to admit them into His heaven, they would say because they have kept and do keep the Ten Commandments? We believers understand this would nullify the Gospel completely because the Gospel is all of grace and keeping the Ten Commandments would […]
When we first became parents, it was a delightful day. The same was true for the other children birthed into our household. The house was our home and became their home. What we did in the house they did in the house (eat, sleep, wash, etc.). The life we lived they lived too. This picture […]

Of the many “types” we find in the Bible relating to Messiah, we have been looking at Joseph, son of Israel and great-grandson of Abraham. We found him to be a beloved son, a good shepherd, a sent servant, a brother sold into slavery and one who was a lonely sufferer who became a great […]
I trust that as we have been considering Joseph as a “type” of Christ (Messiah), you have been encouraged and challenged. Today I want you to see Joseph as a great statesman. Ge 41:39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you, there is no one so discerning and […]
In dealing with Joseph as a “type” of Christ we come to his suffering. For the complete story please read Genesis chapter 37:12-36 and chapters 39-40. It starts with his brothers capturing him and placing him in a dry well in the desert. Few today have seen a real well as we have boreholes and […]
