As we begin a new sermon series leading up the time of Thanksgiving.  We think of ways we can be filled with Thanksgiving.  Not with turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, or even pumpkin pie.  No, we want to be filled with the love and joy we can receive from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  This […]

Now is the moment we have all been waiting for.  Joseph is about to reveal to his brothers who he is.  His brothers that treated him so badly 22 years prior, are about to come face to face with their fate.  Their sins, the way they mistreated not only Joseph but their father as well.  […]
