About this sermon

Speaker: Pastor Ken Addison, Teaching Pastor Beulah Baptist Church | Hopkins, SC Scripture: Genesis 47:13–31 In Genesis 47:13–31, Pastor Ken Addison shows how God provided for His people during a severe famine in Egypt. Joseph wisely administered Egypt’s resources, preserved lives, and became a blessing to the nations while maintaining righteous character before God. This sermon reminds us that every provision we receive comes from the Lord. Food, rain, strength, and daily bread are gifts from His hand. Even when life feels secure, we are completely dependent on God for all we have. The passage also points us to Jacob’s faith near the end of his life. Though Jacob lived his final years in Egypt, he knew Egypt was not his home. He wanted to be buried in Canaan because he believed the promises God had made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. His final request became a testimony that God’s promises could be trusted. For believers today, this world is not our final home. Through Jesus Christ, we have a better inheritance, an eternal home, and peace with God. Christ has saved His people from spiritual starvation, forgiven our sin, and given us living hope through His resurrection. Watch and be encouraged to trust God’s provision, live as a blessing in the world, and fix your hope on the eternal home promised to all who belong to Christ. Thank you for watching.
