Forgiving wrongs done to us, shedding that weight of unforgiveness, can transform our lives, says Pastor Donnie Johnson in this final part of his 4-week study of the life of Joseph.

When Joseph finally sees them face-to-face, he had the power to punish them for their sin against him ... but instead he offers forgiveness and mercy. Sound familiar?

Daniel, as an old man, refuses to stop praying to God three times a day even though he knows he could be thrown into the lions' den because of it. Pastor Donnie says there is much we can learn from Daniel about how we should live our lives today, and about how God uses all things ... even life-threatening experiences ... for the good of those who love Him. Is there a connection between Daniel and the magi who bring perfectly timed, much needed gifts, to Joseph, Mary and Jesus hundreds of years later?

What contributed to the faith of the three Hebrews who respectfully but resolutely refused the command of King Nebuchadnazzer to bow down and worship the image he erected in the plains of Babylon? Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego would not bow down to that idol, and so were cast into the fiery furnace and ... lived! Pastor Donnie Johnson and many scholars believe the fourth figure the king saw walking through the fire with the young Hebrew men was the preincarnate Jesus.

The story of God's reluctant prophet Jonah and his failed attempt to flee from God is one of the most well-known stories in the Bible. Perhaps you heard the story of Jonah and the whale in Sunday School, but Pastor Donnie Johnson says it is so worth studying closely as an adult because it has much to say about God's character of grace of mercy, and foreshadows Jesus' death and resurrection whereby He extends mercy and grace to a world filled with unlovable, unworthy sinners like us.

The Bible is full of big, epic stories that feature prominently in our children's Bible lessons: Creation, Moses crossing the Red Sea, Joshua and the Battle of Jericho, Jonah and the whale, and David and Goliath. These stories are full of action! They give us a sense of how big our God is and remind us to trust Him, but they show us even more when we realize that all of them actually "whisper his name" (to borrow the line from one of Pastor Donnie's favorite children's Bible storybooks). These stories point us toward Jesus and are a part of an even larger story - a story so big that it sweeps us into it as well. In this first part of this new teaching series, Pastor Donnie Johnson takes a fresh look at the account of creation in Genesis and tells us how Jesus can be found there.

Is your mindset important for your spiritual life? The word "mindset" doesn't appear in Scripture, but it does appear flipped around as the phrase "set your mind," and is very important, according to Pastor Donnie Johnson in part 2 of his teaching series, "Love God with All Your Mind."

James 5:16-17
We tend to think of Old Testament times as so different from our own - full of strange, old-fashioned problems that we might have trouble relating to in our modern era. When we take a closer look, though, we find that our times are not much different from theirs in some of the most important ways. Sure, our lives are different because of technology and modern conveniences, but the challenge of where we should place our hope and the battle between the true God and rival gods remains. Our times have their own false gods that demand our allegiance and tempt us to turn our eyes away from the living God. We will be looking at a key story each week from the lives of Elijah and Elisha in 1 and 2 Kings. These stories will help us understand and remember how to place our faith firmly in the true God in a time of widespread unbelief.
1 Kings 16:29-17:1
Paul completes his third missionary journey in Jerusalem where he is confronted with all sorts of trouble. In the midst of riot and arrest, Paul keeps a 'hope filled - Big God' perspective. Paul takes the opportunity of a riotous crowd to preach the good news of Christ through his testimony.
Taking a deep canonical reading of the story of Jacob wrestling with God, reveals some very intense concepts. Concepts of identity and reality that encourage us, as believers, today.
