The story of Joseph and his family was necessary to set the stage of history for the coming of the Messiah, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Instead of wasting or being unproductive with time, how can you better manage your wait?

The ten men who planned to kill Joseph are not nearly as dangerous as the one woman who tries to seduce him.

The Lord God Almighty is many wonderful, beautiful things and one of those beautiful realities is that He is sovereign over everything.

Why is it we always want to know what we don't really need to know? Why are we so interested in everybody else's business?

Jesus asks, "Do you love me?"

After Thomas declared that Jesus was his Lord and God, the next thing we hear from the mouth of a disciple is, “I am going fishing.”

How do you know if something is true?

The traditional time for all of us to meet together is Sunday morning, but that may not have been the case for the early Christians... they actually met on what we would consider to be Saturday night.

There’s a big difference between seeing an empty tomb and seeing the risen Christ.

Try to picture yourself going to a cemetery to put flowers on the grave of a loved one, a couple days after the burial, and finding the grave has been opened... the body is gone.

Had God made provision for the proper burial of His Son by a rich man hundreds of years before His death? Was Jesus’ funeral pre-arranged by His Father?

That’s why it is imperative that we know for certain that Jesus died on that cross 2,000 years ago. And that’s why, even though they didn’t issue death certificates in 33 A.D., John goes to such detail to show Jesus certified as dead.

What did Jesus mean when He said, “It is finished” ?

We should never get so caught up in the big issues of life that we ignore the simple domestic responsibilities we’ve been given. Our Lord didn’t.

There are many explicit prophecies in the Bible that you’d have to be intentionally blind to miss. And we come to one of them in our text for today, one that was unknowingly fulfilled by the soldiers at the cross.

Most of us would not want to witness an execution. We wouldn’t want that image etched into our memories. There is, however, one execution that we must keep fresh in our minds.

Don’t make Pilate’s mistake: Listen to the woman God has put in your life.

While preachers and politicians argue over who’s right, the search for truth in the Middle East continues. I do believe, however, that we can find the needed truth if we’ll look again at what took place in a courtroom in the Middle East nearly 2,000 ago.

Everyone knows that Peter blew it.
