Luke 17:15-16 (NIV) One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. 16 He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan. Luke saves this surprise until late in the story of Jesus healing the ten lepers (Luke 17:11-19). John 4:9 reminds us that…

Genesis 42: Lessons from Jacob’s Family on God’s Testing to Expose Hidden Sin Many people incorrectly assume that the last portion of the Book of Genesis is about Joseph. Thus, many may feel that the account is anti-climactic after Joseph’s dramatic rise from a prisoner to the second most powerful person in Egypt. But God’s…

Our Young Adult Class on Sunday mornings is very invigorating. Its a small group of young adults where those in attendance are free to ask any question they want and we will go to the Scriptures for the answer. Recently the question came up about how some abortion advocates attempt to justify the practice with…

We are currently in a sermon series of the life of Joseph in the Old Testament. So far, we have seen Joseph be hated by his own brothers (Genesis 37:1-11). Attacked and thrown into a pit by his brothers (Genesis 37:23-24). Sold into slavery by his own brothers (Genesis 37:28), prosper as a slave in…

In our Wednesday Bible Study we are looking at the miracle of Jesus healing Ten Lepers (Luke 17:11-19). Only one of the ten men Jesus cleansed returned to thank him and that man was a Samaritan (Luke 17:16). Which leads to the questions who were the Samaritans and why were they so despised by the…

Genesis 39:1-18 describes Joseph’s rise and fall as the slave of Potiphar, the captain of the guard in Egypt. He arrives in this situation after being sold by his own brothers (Genesis 37:26-28). The Lord continues to be with Joseph and to bless him. Potiphar promotes Joseph to the head manager of his household, even…

(NASB) No temptation has overtaken you except something common to mankind; and God is faithful, so He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it. Paul’s words in the previous verse…

The clearest, most certain argument for the reality of heaven is the testimony of Scripture. Since “life and immortality” have been “brought to light” through the “gospel” (II Timothy 1:10), it is to be expected that the New Testament will contain more information on heaven than the Old Testament. Nonetheless, there are clear allusions to…

All we really know about heaven is what is revealed in Scripture. The term “heaven” appears 622 times in the NIV translation of the Bible. It appears 346 times in the Old Testament and 276 times in the New Testament. For this study, we will keep our focus on the New Testament references. There are…

Genesis 37:5-8 (NIV) Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him all the more. 6 He said to them, “Listen to this dream I had: 7 We were binding sheaves of grain out in the field when suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright, while your sheaves gathered around mine…
