Joseph in Egypt

The story of Joseph in Potiphar’s house in Egypt is an incredible story of one man’s integrity and obedience to his God. Joseph was far away from home and alone. What would he do? How did he resist temptation? He knew God was with him. God had been with him even when his brothers threw... Read More

Godly Contentment

God is the source of true contentment. The verses about contentment in Hebrews 13, Philippians 4, and I Timothy 6 all connect the idea of contentment with what God has to offer.
