Jesus came…preaching (Mark 1:14). Just words? Words have conquered kingdoms and forged new worlds. And when it’s the word of the cross, the message of God’s glorious kingdom, the sword wielded by the Spirit to dispel the darkness and secure the faithful, it’s something greater still. Yes, we believe in the foolishness of preaching, for we know what appears so small, weak, and insignificant can rise from obscurity and be used by God to enlighten the nations and save the world.

Imagine a world that catered to the right-handed. What might that be like for a left-hander? They who have ears to hear…let them hear.

Jesus loved tables. The Son of Man came to seek and save the lost. And the Son of Man came…eating and drinking. Perhaps we can learn something about evangelism: who doesn’t love a table?

Joseph receives back his family. What do we learn about our relationships?

What is the goal of an apprentice? We have learned to be with Jesus and to become like Jesus. All of this is so that we can do as Jesus did…and does.

Joseph is faced with difficulty when encountering those who offered nothing but pain and misery. But God gives forgiveness.

Three helpful goals for beginning a new season of life.

Joseph is called upon to interpret and lead when all of Egypt is in trouble. But God gives him wisdom.

In a world full of lies, pride, and image control, there is a powerful alternative that is as counter-cultural as it gets. Confession, said Michel Foucault, is when we “go on record against ourselves.”
