God is the source of all blessings, temporal and spiritual; all that we have and are we owe to Him. Christians have a spiritual debtorship to the whole world, a holy trusteeship in the gospel, and a binding stewardship in their possessions. They are therefore under obligation to serve Him with their time, talents, and material possessions; and should recognize all these as entrusted to them to use for the glory of God and for helping others. According to the Scriptures, Christians should contribute of their means cheerfully, regularly, systematically, proportionately, and liberally for the advancement of the Redeemer's cause on earth.
In this sermon, Pastor Steven explores Isaiah 59 and its powerful indictment of injustice rooted in the human heart. He shows how God responds—not with reform, but by stepping in Himself to bring justice and redemption through a promised Redeemer.

Redemption E5 — For many centuries, ancient Israel lived in the land of promise but consistently broke their covenant with Yahweh. The prophet Isaiah warned the people that their corruption and idolatry would lead them back into slavery—not to Egypt but to the empires of Assyria and Babylon. After these two exiles happen, the prophecies in the book of Isaiah shift surprisingly from correction and warning to comfort and hope. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore Isaiah 40-66. These chapters contain a higher density of the word “redemption” than any other part of the Hebrew Bible.CHAPTERSRecap and Setup for Isaiah 40-66 (0:00-7:38)Comfort From Yahweh the Redeemer (7:38-25:33)The Redeemer of Vulnerable Israel (25:33-41:02)REFERENCED RESOURCESYou can view annotations for this episode—plus our entire library of videos, podcasts, articles, and classes—in the BibleProject app, available for Android and iOS.Check out Tim's extensive collection of recommended books here.SHOW MUSIC“Forgotten Dreams” by Aves“Hilltops ft.

July 6, 2025John's vision of heaven continues as he sees a seven-sealed scroll in God the Father's right hand. Within that scroll is the fulfillment of God's covenant and the final completion of all that was promised for all of God's people including the yet-to-be-fulfilled promises for Israel. John's tears over this unfulfillment were stilled as he saw the glorified Christ, the one One worthy to take, open, and fulfill what was written. We worship Christ for He is our Worthy Redeemer.Revelation 5:1-14

Isaiah 41:21–42:5 (Listen) The Futility of Idols 21 Set forth your case, says the LORD; bring your proofs, says the King of Jacob.22 Let them bring them, and tell us what is to happen. Tell us the former things, what they are, that we may consider them, that we may know their outcome; or declare to us the things to come.23 Tell us what is to come hereafter, that we may know that you are gods; do good, or do harm, that we may be dismayed and terrified.124 Behold, you are nothing, and your work is less than nothing; an abomination is he who chooses you. 25 I stirred up one from the north, and he has come, from the rising of the sun, and he shall call upon my name; he shall trample on rulers as on mortar, as the potter treads clay.26 Who declared it from the beginning, that we might know, and beforehand, that we might say, “He is right”? There was none who declared it, none who proclaimed, none who heard your words.27 I was the first to say2 to Zion, “Behold, here they are!” and I give to Jerusalem a herald of good news.28 But when I look, there is no one; among these there is no counselor who, when I ask, gives an answer.29 Behold, they are all a delusion; their works are nothing; their metal images are empty wind. The Lord's Chosen Servant 42:1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights; I have put my Spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the nations.2 He will not cry aloud or lift up his voice, or make it heard in the street;3 a bruised reed he will not break, and a faintly burning wick he will not quench; he will faithfully bring forth justice.4 He will not grow faint or be discouraged3 till he has established justice in the earth; and the coastlands wait for his law. 5 Thus says God, the LORD, who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and what comes from it, who gives breath to the people on it and spirit to those who walk in it: Footnotes [1] 41:23 Or that we may both be dismayed and see [2] 41:27 Or Formerly I said [3]

Psalm 92:1-15; John 15:1-11 Oldson Duclos
Peter addresses unbelieving Jews to proclaim more than an explanation of Pentecost. He stands before thousands to herald the glory of Pentecost. He moves from clarifying to convicting. In the power of a prophet, Peter reopens Jesus' case and asserts the verdict of heaven's court. He extols in astounding harmony both the sovereignty of God and the responsibility of man as he directs culpability to his audience. Then, with astounding precision, he opens the Scriptures to them, proving with an undefeatable logic that Jesus is the Christ—and more than Messiah, He is the covenant keeping Redeemer. Here the great mystery of the New Covenant is revealed in the glory of Pentecost.

With Jacob dead, the brothers fear Joseph's revenge. They even fabricate a message from their father, begging Joseph's forgiveness. But Joseph weeps at their words and speaks one of Scripture's most profound theological statements: "As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive." Joseph sees beyond human schemes to divine sovereignty. He promises to provide for them and their children, speaking kindly to comfort their hearts. As Joseph dies at 110, he echoes his father's faith, making his brothers swear to carry his bones out of Egypt when God visits them. Genesis ends with a coffin in Egypt, but with eyes fixed on the promised exodus. The Rev. Kelly Krieg, pastor of Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Brenham, TX, joins guest host Rev. Doug Griebenaw, Mission Advocate for KFUO Radio, to study Genesis 50:15-26. To learn more about Bethlehem, visit www.bethlehemwmpenn.org.

Job's longing for a Mediator and confident hope in a Redeemer point us surely to the coming Christ.
Thursday, 3 July 2025 He who has ears to hear, let him hear! Matthew 11:15 “The ‘having ears to hear,' let him hear” (CG). In the previous verse, Jesus made a pronouncement that was not to be dismissed or casually heard and then forgotten. Rather, the very state of Israel, both the nation and each individual, would be affected by His words, which were, “And if you incline to receive, he, he is Elijah, the ‘being about to come.'” With that emphatic declaration made, He next says, “The ‘having ears to hear,' let him hear.” In other words, what I just said needs to be heard and assimilated. The reason for this was partly cited in the previous commentary. The final verse of Malachi says – “Remember! Law Moses, My servant, Which commanded him in Horeb upon all Israel – Enactments and judgments. 5 Behold! I sending to you Elijah the prophet, To faces coming day Yehovah – The whopping and the fearing. 6 And turned heart fathers upon sons, And heart sons upon fathers. Lest come and strike the land – anathema.” Malachi 4:4-6 Jesus is saying that John is the fulfillment of the promised coming of Elijah. If they rejected his message by rejecting Jesus whom he proclaimed, the land would be struck with a curse. Life application: A few points about the verses from Malachi. When the Lord proclaimed through him to remember the Law of Moses, He was not talking about obeying the law. That was something they were supposed to do already. He was telling them to remember the law that referred to the coming Redeemer. Malachi proclaimed in verse 4:2 that a Righteousness Sun was coming. The meaning to be inferred is that the Law of Moses was not a Righteousness Sun. Rather, Paul states it was a tutor to lead us to Christ (Galatians 3:24). In remembering the law and anticipating the promise set forth in Malachi, the people would then be prepared for the coming of Christ. Understanding this, in verse 4:6 where it speaks of turning the heart of the fathers upon sons, and heart sons upon fathers, that is not a verse describing immediate family relations, as in, “He will turn the people in the families to love one another.” Rather, it is a word concerning the Hebrew people as a whole. The fathers are the patriarchs, especially Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The children are those who had misunderstood both the promise to the patriarchs and the purpose of the law. The heart of the fathers was that of promise while trusting in the gospel of the grace of God. Paul explains this in Galatians 3 – “And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, ‘In you all the nations shall be blessed.' 9 So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.” ... “And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, that it should make the promise of no effect. 18 For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by promise.” Galatians 3:8, 9, & 17, 18 The hearts of the children, the unbelievers of Israel, will have their hearts turned to the hearts of the fathers who trusted the gospel of Christ as a certain and sure promise. If they do not turn their hearts, the warning of the curse of the law stands firm. In the last words of Malachi concerning the curse, the Old Testament ends with the word kherem, anathema. It speaks of the utter destruction or ban of something. It is a fitting end to the thirty-nine books of law. Only with the hope of God in Christ is there life and renewed fellowship with God. Only in understanding the gospel can that state be realized. In Matthew 23:36, Jesus said, “Assuredly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.” The nation as a whole rejected Jesus, remained under the law, and fell under the ban because of it. The second fulfillment will be for those of Israel who continue to reject Jesus during the tribulation. However, for the nation, that will eventually end. The land of Israel, symbolized by Jerusalem, was anathema because of Israel's rejection of Jesus. This is seen in Zechariah 14:11 – “The people shall dwell in it; And no longer shall there be utter destruction [kherem], But Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.” This prophecy concerns the future when Israel finally receives Jesus. Only when the hearts of the children are turned to the hearts of the fathers will this time of woe for Israel end. The day is coming, and the world is being readied for it with the return of Israel to her land. The nation has been reestablished, prophecies of the past have come to their fulfillment, and many more prophecies are set to be fulfilled. Our trust is not to be in the Law of Moses but in the One who is spoken of there and throughout all of Scripture. It is not easy to let go and place ourselves solely under the authority of another, but we must do so. Let us not fail to put our trust in Him. Anything else will not carry us through to the restoration that God offers to His people. Yes, let us trust solely in the merits of Jesus Christ our Lord. Lord God, may our faith in You grow each day as we rely solely on the grace of Jesus Christ. Help us never to put ourselves into the salvation equation except as receiving it by faith and being grateful for what He did. Thank You for Jesus our Savior! Amen.
In Episode 7 we journey with Julian of Norwich into the mystery of Christ's joy in His Passion. Rather than sorrow alone, Julian sees the Redeemer rejoicing in His self-offering, delighting to give Himself for the salvation of souls. She is shown the threefold joy of the Trinity, where the Father is pleased, the Son is crowned, and the Holy Spirit is satisfied. Then Julian is led through the wound in Christ's side into the depths of His Heart—a resting place “large enough for all mankind.” Drawing on Scripture, the Catechism, and the mystical tradition of the Church, this episode opens the mystery of divine charity that transforms suffering into eternal joy, and invites the soul into the inexhaustible mercy of the pierced Heart of Jesus.

With his final breath, Jacob commands his sons to bury him in the cave of Machpelah with Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Rebekah, and Leah. This last request reveals where his heart truly lies—not in the prosperity of Egypt but in the promises of God. Joseph honors his father with a royal Egyptian funeral: forty days of embalming, seventy days of mourning, and a massive funeral procession including Egyptian dignitaries. Yet this grand Egyptian send-off ends in a simple cave in Canaan. Even Pharaoh's servants witness that Israel's hope lies not in Egypt's glory but in God's covenant promise. The journey to bury Jacob becomes a prophetic rehearsal for a greater exodus to come. The Rev. Roger Mullet, pastor of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Buffalo, WY, joins guest host Rev. Doug Griebenaw, Mission Advocate for KFUO Radio, to study Genesis 49:29-50:14. To learn more about Prince of Peace, visit princeofpeacebuffalo.org.

You only get one life—so what will you do with it? In this episode, Daron wraps up the story of Ruth with a challenge to stop coasting and start stepping into redemptive purpose. Boaz didn't have to act—but he did. And his legacy still echoes today. Key Takeaways: • You get one life—don't waste it. • “I can't” is often just fear in disguise. • Saying yes to God creates a legacy of redemption. • “Have to” thinking leads to half-hearted living. • You were made to join God's mission of love and reconciliation. Quotes: “You don't have to… but you get to.” “Half-to thinking leads to half-living.” “You get one life. Stop wasting it on stuff that doesn't matter.” “Boaz didn't have to—he chose to, because redemption ran in his bloodline.” “Jesus is the Redeemer who wanted to… and did.”
Send us a textIn this episode of the Village Church sermon podcast, Pastor Eric concludes the series on Ruth by asking a hard question: Why? Why did Naomi have to lose her husband and sons before experiencing blessing? Why does suffering come first? This reflection opens up a conversation about hope, the shape of an epic life, and the promise of happy endings. Pastor Eric highlights Boaz as the Redeemer who points to Jesus—and as a picture of how we, too, can live as representatives of Christ in the world.Support the showThe Village Church's sermon podcast is more than just a weekly message. It is an invitation into the great and ongoing story of God's work in the world. Pastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other leaders open the Scriptures not as a collection of abstract ideas but as the living, breathing witness to God's kingdom breaking into our midst. Each episode is a call—not merely to listen, but to take part, to step forward into the life of faith with renewed vision and purpose. Week by week, the pastors and leaders explore the deep rhythms of Christian discipleship—prayer, fasting, generosity—not as isolated duties but as part of a larger, richer, and more beautiful whole. They unpack these ancient practices in light of Jesus himself, the one in whom heaven and earth have come together. But they also turn their attention to the realities of everyday life—relationships, finances, the struggles and joys of being human—demonstrating how the gospel is not merely about what we believe but about how we live as God's renewed people in the present age.

Jacob gathers his twelve sons for his final prophetic blessing—though for some, it sounds more like judgment. Reuben loses his preeminence, Simeon and Levi are scattered for their violence. But when Jacob reaches Judah, the prophecy soars: "The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until tribute comes to him." This messianic promise identifies the tribe from which David and ultimately Christ would come. Each son receives words that will shape their tribal destiny. Some are difficult to understand, but all are part of God's sovereign plan. The dying patriarch speaks not his own wishes but God's revealed will for the future of His people. The Rev.

Redemption E4 — During a dark time in ancient Israel, idolatry, injustice, and death ruled the land and its people. In the midst of a famine, a destitute widow tragically loses her husband and adult sons and is left alone with her immigrant daughter-in-law. It's a horrible situation, but God uses the faithful, loving, and generous acts of ordinary community members to redeem the widow's story.

Isaiah 40:27–31 (Listen) 27 Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, “My way is hidden from the LORD, and my right is disregarded by my God”?28 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable.29 He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength.30 Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted;31 but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. (ESV)
Joseph brings his sons to the dying Jacob for a blessing, carefully positioning Manasseh, the firstborn, at Jacob's right hand. But Jacob crosses his hands, placing his right hand on younger Ephraim's head. When Joseph tries to correct this apparent mistake, Jacob refuses: "I know, my son, I know." This deliberate reversal echoes throughout Genesis—Abel over Cain, Isaac over Ishmael, Jacob over Esau—God consistently choosing the younger, the weaker, the unexpected. Jacob adopts Joseph's sons as his own, granting them full tribal status in Israel. The crossed hands of blessing point forward to another wooden cross where all God's promises find their "Yes" and "Amen." The Rev.

Joseph – In God's Hands | Week 9HIS REDEMPTION IS PERFECTTime has moved on, and the Israelites are now settled in Egypt, in the land of Goshen. Jacob, under Pharaoh's protection, witnesses his family's security and Joseph's rise to power. But when Jacob finally dies, his sons fear that Joseph's vengeance will finally fall upon them. In a picture of grace, Joseph reminds them that it is the Lord who has orchestrated all their journeys to Egypt, ultimately to redeem His people from starvation.In this final message of the series, Pastor Craig Turnbull walks us through Genesis 50:15–26, where Joseph responds not with revenge—but with a stunning vision of God's mercy and sovereignty. Even after everything the brothers did to him, Joseph assures them of his forgiveness, reveals God's hand in their suffering, and speaks of a future hope in God's greater redemption still to come.Key Takeaways:Redemption transforms fear into forgiveness: once restored, there is no need to return to guilt and shame.Redemption transforms pain into comfort: even what others meant for harm, God intends for good.Redemption transforms promises into hope: Joseph anchors the people's future in God's faithfulness and presence.God's perfect redemption not only frees us from guilt but turns suffering into purpose and future pain into confident hope. Jesus is our Redeemer, and like Joseph, His story points us to a greater story—where all things will be made new.Related Scriptures:Genesis 50:15–26Romans 8:1Galatians 5:1Revelation 21:4You are not forgotten.

Yet, there is hope in Christ, our Redeemer, who offers us restoration and a return to true character and godly values. Join us for this series as we explore the crucial task of restoring lost values in our lives and communities. As we navigate the changing landscape around us, let's rediscover the timeless principles that guide us, dust off what's been neglected, and actively participate in bringing back what is essential for a flourishing life in Christ.
In today's message from Malachi 2:10–16 and 3:16–18, we see how Judah's broken marriages—marked by unfaithfulness, selfish ambition, and betrayal—had shattered their witness to the nations and ruptured their covenant with God. Instead of showcasing the beauty of life with Yahweh, their divorces and faithlessness displayed contempt for God's name and defiled His purpose for marriage. Yet through the promise of the Book of Remembrance and the coming Redeemer, God holds out hope—not only to restore broken marriages, but to restore His covenant with His people through Christ. Jesus, the true Bridegroom, comes not to condemn but to refine and redeem: to melt anger, heal wounds, and birth new covenant love where human love has failed.
Psalm 91; Luke 4:1-13 Dan Marotta

Every chapter whispers the hope of Christ, our true and better Redeemer who brings the outsider in."Redeemed and Restored" is a sermon based on Ruth 4:1-22 preached by lead pastor Billy Glosson.This sermon was preached at Mission Church — a church in Morganton, North Carolina in the heart of Burke County.Join us in person on Sundays, 10 AM221 Herron St.Morganton NC, 28655

United with Christ. This is where true identity begins. In a world that defines worth by appearance, achievement, and approval, how do we discover who we really are? Our value comes from being with Christ. We are not what we do or what others say; we are richly blessed, deeply loved, and fully forgiven. This is the identity that lasts. God has spoken. His word is clear. Why search for worth anywhere else? Message based on Ephesians 1:1-8Quotes:A.W. Tozer: What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.John Neesley: United with Christ, I am a richly blessed child of God.Benjamin Warfield: When you use the name Redeemer, it's the name specifically of the Christ of the cross. Whenever we pronounce it, the cross is postered or placarded before our eyes. And our eyes are filled with loving remembrance that not only that Christ has given us salvation, but he paid a mighty price for it.To discover more messages of hope go to tallowood.org/sermons/.Follow us on Instagram, X, and YouTube @tallowoodbc.Follow us on FaceBook @tallowoodbaptist
Revelation Date: February 16, 1832 Revelation Place: Hiram, Ohio Section 76 - Historical Background: Having returned to Hiram Ohio from the church conference held in Amherst Ohio, Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon resumed the revision of the New Testament. When they came to John 5: 28-29, the original KJV read, “Marvel not at this; for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.” However, the Spirit inspired new writing as follows: “Marvel not at this; for the hour is coming, in the which all who are in their graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they who have done good, in the resurrection of the just; and they who have done evil, in the resurrection of the unjust.” Implied by this new wording was that there are more than just 2 kingdoms, namely heaven or hell. Both Joseph and Sidney were troubled by this and inquired of the Lord for more enlightenment. Recap: God will reveal to the righteous the mysteries and wonders of eternity, greater wisdom and understanding. Joseph and Sidney commune with Jesus Christ face to face, and declare their testimonies of the reality of God. They witness the council in Heaven, where Jehovah is chosen to be the Savior. Lucifer rebels against God and declares war against God and His Only Begotten Son. One third of God's spirit children are seduced by Lucifer and follow him, wherefore they are removed from heaven, never to be born and will suffer the second death, that is, to be cast back into outer darkness. All those spirits who were not seduced by Lucifer but were committed to Heavenly Father and His plan to send a Redeemer, even Jesus Christ, will be born into mortality and will be resurrected and redeemed to some degree (except for the sons of perdition). All the resurrected will inherit one of three kingdoms: the Celestial Kingdom (verses 51-70) with glory likened to the sun, who will dwell with God the Father and Jesus Christ; or the Terrestrial Kingdom (verses 71-80) with glory likened to the moon, administered by Christ; or the Telestial Kingdom (verses 81-90) with glory likened to the stars, administered by the Holy Ghost and angelic messengers. Regardless of which kingdom one inherits, all will bow the knee, and every tongue confess Jesus as the Christ and Father of their salvation. All shall be judged by Him, according to their own works, and receive their appropriate Kingdom of glory.

This sermon, titled “Honor Thy Father” by Dr. Bobby Allen, explores the biblical commandment to honor one's father, emphasizing its dual application to both God as the Heavenly Father and earthly fathers. The sermon highlights reasons to honor God, such as His roles as Creator, Provider, Protector, and Redeemer. It then outlines ways to honor earthly fathers, including obedience in youth, respect in adulthood, gratitude, and carrying on their legacy. The text also addresses the difficult scenario of absent or abusive fathers, stressing the healing power of forgiveness and the unfailing nature of God's fatherhood. Finally, it concludes by describing the blessings that come from living a life of honor and offers calls to action for both children and fathers.
The famine intensifies until all Egypt and Canaan have no money left. Joseph implements a systematic plan: first accepting money, then livestock, then land, and finally the people themselves in exchange for grain. Some see harshness here, but Joseph saves countless lives while securing Egypt's future prosperity. As Jacob nears death, he makes Joseph swear to bury him not in Egypt but with his fathers in Canaan. Even in his final days, Jacob's faith looks beyond the present blessing to the promised inheritance. The Rev. Steven Theiss, pastor of Immanuel Lutheran Church in New Wells, MO, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Genesis 47:13-31. Genesis isn't just the start of the Bible; it's the foundation of everything. Creation, sin, judgment, grace, covenant, and promise all take root in this remarkable book. The stories are ancient, but their truths are eternal. In this new series from Thy Strong Word, Pastor Phil Booe and his guests walk verse by verse through Genesis, exploring how God reveals Himself as Creator, Judge, and Redeemer. From the grandeur of the cosmos to the struggles of ordinary families, Genesis introduces us to a God who speaks, acts, and keeps His promises. So, whether you've read it a hundred times or are just now cracking it open for a serious look, this series will help you see Genesis with fresh eyes—and a deeper faith. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

Many of us ask ourselves the honest question: Why is making friends as an adult so hard? At this Talkback, Ben Sciacca, Redeemer's Local Ministry Coordinator, dove into how God created us to live in meaningful community with one another. While the desire for friendship is part of God's good design, the reality is that we live in a time of prevailing loneliness and isolation. Ben was joined by Janet King, Founder of The Gathering Lab. Together, they discussed how to move past small talk into something deeper. They explored what barriers keep us isolated and what fears prevent us from moving beyond our comfort zones. As image-bearers of a loving God, we are hardwired for community, and we hope you'll fight against the digital age that keeps us disconnected.JOIN THE NEXT STEPAt the end, Ben and Janet announced our Summer Circles, which are opportunities coming later this summer to meet and build meaningful friendships right here at Redeemer. If you want to join these gatherings, sign up at The Gathering Lab now. ABOUT TALKBACKSOur Talkbacks are great opportunities to see how our faith engages with the world around us. This summer, we're excited to have four evenings that discuss how the gospel changes how we think about race, politics, the world, and our stories.Each Talkback, we get a chance to hear from a speaker for about 45 minutes before spending about 45 minutes in a Q&A. We encourage you to come with questions! MORE INFOFor more info, visit rccbirmingham.com/talkbacks
Judah goes ahead to prepare the way, and Joseph meets his father in Goshen. The reunion is deeply emotional—Joseph weeps on his father's neck "a good while," and Jacob declares he can now die in peace. Joseph wisely prepares his brothers for their audience with Pharaoh, instructing them to identify as shepherds, knowing this will secure them land in Goshen, separated from Egyptian society. When Pharaoh meets them, he grants them the best of the land and even offers employment for the capable among them. At 130 years old, Jacob blesses Pharaoh—a beautiful picture of God's promise that through Abraham's seed, all nations would be blessed. The Rev.
