The life of Jacob, who is now known as Israel, comes to close as he takes his last breath in Egypt. This is the same Jacob who deceived his father Isaac in order to receive the blessing of the firstborn. Not only does he bless Joseph's sons, he elevates them and makes them a part of his family's inheritance. He continues on with words of prophecy and blessing for the men who would be the representative heads of the twelve tribes of Israel. After Jacob takes his final breath, Joseph's brothers fear that he will seek vengeance, but Joseph doesn't hold a grudge. Instead of seeking vengeance or extracting payment, he brings God's grace, provision, and sovereign orchestration to mind, and ensures them that he will care for their families.Genesis 47 – 2:34 .

Good. God! | Chris McGarvey
Sermon by Dr. David Rountree on December 21st, 2025 at New Covenant Church in Anderson, SC. Scripture Passage: Psalm 16:11 Outline: Step #1: Seek Jesus' Gifts more than other Gifts Step #2: Dwell in Jesus' Places, with Regard for His Word Step #3: Embrace the Omnipresence of Jesus www.ncchurch.net
In this edition of UBC "Sermon Discussions" Jason Wing discusses questions related to Sunday's Sermon out of Psalm 16:1-11.The main idea for the sermon was: True Joy Is Found In Christ That Came and Is Coming AgainQuestions discussed in this episode: Q. You decided to cancel the in-person services this past weekend. Couple questions about that: 1) Tell us how the church came to that decision. 2) You recorded your sermon from home and then uploaded it. What was that like?Q. Psalm 16 talks a lot about joy, gladness, etc. However, there's also that strange section in vs 4 about drink offerings of blood. Can you explain what is being talked about there?Q. In your sermon, you defined joy as “a God-given gladness of the heart that exists despite your circumstances.” Let's talk about that definition a bit. How does joy relate to happiness? Since joy is God-given, can a non-believer have it? If joy comes from God, can a believer do anything to pursue it or help experience it in their life… or do we just have to wait for God to give it? I'm thinking of those people who really want joy, but struggle to have it.As a reminder we have created a place where you can send us your questions regarding the sermons or topics we discuss in these podcasts. Send them to sermonquestions@ubcbeavercreek.com.

In this life, trouble is unavoidable. Challenges come that wear us down and situations arise that can frustrate us endlessly. If we aren't careful, these struggles can steal our joy and leave us bitter. That's why we must intentionally choose to delight in God. Psalm 16 is both a prayer and a declaration of confidence, reminding us that God faithfully preserves us in both life and death.
