Rock Springs Family Values: Extravagant Generosity

September 21, 2017

There is only one true motive for extravagant generosity, and God has shown us what that is: Out of the abundance of love in His heart, God gave His all for us. That’s why love is at the heart of extravagant generosity. That’s why love must be the motive for why we give of our time, or our treasures or our talents, or ourselves.   All other motives are temporal. They won’t last. But love never fails.

Rock Springs Family Values: Radical Inclusivity

September 13, 2017

What Jesus does for this religious expert, he does for us: He tears down the barriers we so often use to keep people out. There are no “ins” or “outs” with Jesus. There are no boundaries in his kingdom.  Everyone is equal in his eyes.   Everyone needs love, and acceptance and mercy. Go and do likewise!

The Story of God: Family Reunion

August 20, 2017

God who formed your heart, wants to be reunited with you. The Father wants you to know Him. The Father wants you to be with Him in an eternal relationship. Your relationship with Him is the number one thing on His heart. Like Joseph, we were lost and He’s done everything in His power to bring you home to Him. That’s why He sent Jesus. This is the gospel in a nut shell: For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. 1 Peter 3:18 Nothing heals a broken heart more than being reunited with the one you love.

The Story of God: The Mysterious Ways of God

July 25, 2017

God hears your prayers.   And sometimes He needs to work in you or your surroundings before He’s ready to answer. You see, God had to do His work in Joseph, and He had to do His work in Pharaoh, and when the time was right, Pharaoh was ready to hear from God through Joseph. God works in mysterious ways. His timing is not like ours.

The Story of God: Hope in Dark Places

July 18, 2017

You see, you and I will face difficult days; circumstances beyond our control; people who will fail us. Any of those things can put you in a dark place. But we have the same hope Joseph had: God is within reach. And because God was there, Joseph could handle his darkest hour. And if God did that with Joseph, imagine what he can do with you? “even the darkness will not be dark to you!”

The Story of God: From the Penthouse to Prison

July 11, 2017

Potiphar knew a good man when he saw one. And Joseph was that man. But it wasn’t just his character that he rewarded. He saw that Joseph was a man of faith. And that God was with Joseph in all that he did. And because God was with Joseph in everything he did, Potiphar trusted Joseph with everything he had. With Joseph running the details of his household, Potiphar didn’t have to worry about a thing, except his diet.
