About this sermon

Speaker: Pastor Ken Addison, Teaching Pastor Beulah Baptist Church | Hopkins, SC Sermon preached: May 24, 2026 Scripture: Genesis 50:22–26 In this sermon from Genesis 50:22–26, Pastor Ken Addison brings us to the closing verses of Genesis and the death of Joseph. Joseph lived 110 years, saw God bless his family for generations, and died still holding firmly to the promises of God. Though he spent most of his life in Egypt, Egypt never became his true home. Joseph believed that God would surely visit His people, deliver them, and bring them into the land He had promised. Joseph’s coffin became a testimony of faith. It reminded God’s people that His promises could be trusted even in suffering, slavery, hardship, and death. Joseph looked ahead to Canaan, but his faith also points us forward to the greater hope fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Genesis begins with life and creation, but it ends with a coffin in Egypt. Sin brought death into the world, yet from the beginning God promised redemption. Through Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judah, and ultimately Jesus Christ, God carried out His saving plan. Christ came in the flesh, died for sinners, rose again, defeated sin and death, and secured eternal life for all who believe in Him. This sermon reminds us that our hope is not in this world. Like Joseph, we live by faith in the promises of God and look ahead to the day Christ returns to gather His people forever. Thank you for watching.
