Joseph and His Amazing…Response: Forgotten
November 16, 2025 We’re in our sermon series about Joseph-not Joseph from the Christmas story! He’s Joseph from the Old Testament, who has 11 brothers and one sister. He was his father’s favorite!

Last week we talked about the terrible things that happened to Joseph: when he was 17, his brothers plotted to kill him! Instead of killing him they threw him inContinue reading “Joseph and His Amazing…Response: Forgotten”

May 11, 2025 We’re in a sermon series called “Bless this Home.” We’re talking about Jesus’ teaching: “Blessed are the peacemakers. My family growing up was pretty good.
