As a young foreigner in Egypt, Joseph succeeded against overwhelming odds. Uprooted from his family in Canaan and sold as a slave in Egypt, he made the best of unpromising situations. Sold to Potiphar as a field hand, he worked diligently and soon became overseer of Potiphar's entire estate. Though innocent of any wrongdoing, Potiphar's wife accused him of attempted rape, and Potiphar threw him into a prison house.

El Evangelio de Mateo es uno de los cuatro Evangelios del Nuevo Testamento. Fue escrito teniendo en mente a una audiencia judía, por lo cual contiene muchas referencias a las profecías del Antiguo Testamento que Jesús cumplió. Contiene al menos 129 citas o alusiones al Antiguo Testamento. El objetivo de Mateo era demostrarle a los judíos que Jesús era efectivamente el Mesías que tanto habían esperado.Los evangelios son tradicionalmente impresos con Mateo primero porque todas las listas primitivas que existen de los evangelios lo ponen como el primero (tradición recogida y defendida).

Speeches and sermons, essays and extracts, poems and proclamations illumine such values as independence, virtue, humility, bravery, thrift, prayer, liberty, and reliance on God.

Od momentu, gdy jako pierwsza zobaczyła Jezusa po zmartwychwstaniu i ogłosiła to światu, na temat jej dalszych losów Biblia milczy.

Wiedzy i natchnienia szukała np. w bogatych archiwach Watykanu, docierając do najstarszych manuskryptów i zapomnianych ksiąg.

Discover how God used Judah despite colossal dysfunction in his family. Surprisingly, "Judah" is the name from which we derive our modern words "Jew" and "Judaism". God works the same Judah twist (that is, spiritual transformation) in our lives when we believe and seek his guidance.

This is the story of how Saul the terrorist encountered a mega-power that caused him to morph into Saint Paul. He was a genius.

San Pietro fu l'apostolo chiamato da Gesù a essere il primo papa con le parole: "Tu sei Pietro e su questa pietra fonderò la mia Chiesa". Divenne, insieme a san Paolo, fondatore della Roma cristiana stabilizzando la prima comunità di cristiani e testimoniando con il martirio la sua fedeltà a Cristo. Ma Pietro fu prima di tutto un uomo chiamato da Gesù a seguirlo dicendogli "Tu sei Simone il figlio di Giovanni; ti chiamerai Cefa, Pietro". Da semplice pescatore, Pietro divenne pescatore di anime. Fu tra i più intraprendenti e certamente il più impulsivo degli apostoli, sicuramente l'apostolo più vicino a Cristo.

Peter was an ordinary fisherman. As a member of Jesus Christ's inner circle, he became a main leader in the early Christian church.

Who can find a woman of such worth? The description given in Proverbs 31 is a composite - no one person has all these abilities - but all people can have the greatest virtue. This e-book also contains vignettes of Miriam, Deborah, Bathsheba, and women in the ministry of Jesus. Two articles address the question of what roles women may have in the church today.

The separation of mankind from God has created a void and a deeper yearning for God and for aeons of time mankind has always tried to fill that void, and thus the enemy exploited these cravings of men and directed it to himself. He perverted man’s desire for fellowship with his creator, and made him bow to idols and things he created with his very hands. It is important to note that our common enemy Satan is a very wicked spirit, and his desire to be worshipped is insatiable.
