Sermon Discussions | Genesis Pt. 65: Genesis 49
Video
Audio
In this edition of UBC "Sermon Discussions" Jason Wing and Deacon Chairman Cory Thomas discuss questions related to Sunday’s Sermon out of Genesis 49.
The main idea for the sermon was: The fullness of God’s covenant blessings are ultimately found in Christ
Questions discussed in this episode:
Q. Past sin has consequences - In this story Jacob’s son’s sin prevent them from their father’s blessing. In a grace upon grace upon grace culture - Is this how God still works among his children today?
Q. The scriptures hold Joseph in high esteem. I can’t really think of a place where God rebukes / calls out sin in the story of Joseph - I’d love to hear your commentary on this.
Q. Jacob has great words of blessing for Joseph. In some ways, it seems like he is the truly blessed son, not really Judah. So, who received the blessing - Judah or Joseph?
Q. Joseph endured a lot of perdition / trials / troubles - should Jesus followers expect to endure the same? What are ways to prepare for persecution?
