Sermon
Genesis 48
Fruitfulness
The story of Joseph continues the lineage of the people of Israel - God’s chosen people. It is clear from beginning to end that God is more faithful to His people than they are to Him. We will see, in the life and times of Joseph, that in God’s sovereign plan nothing is wasted. In the end, our lives, like Joseph’s, will prove our great need for God’s salvation and that his plans and purposes for our lives are good.

Prayer
Father, God of heaven and all the earth and all the galaxies in your universe, bless and praise your name. You knew us long before we were born. You chose us in Christ in eternity past. You and the Son and the Spirit committed yourselves to provide for us and protect us on earth for your honor and glory. And we have received your grace for faith in Jesus and eternal salvation from the penalty of our sins forever. You have come to live in our hearts to do life with us so that we can do life with you…both now and in heaven. Thank you Lord God. We love you. And We want to love you more. In Jesus name amen!!!
