About this sermon

Speaker: Pastor Ken Addison, Teaching Pastor Beulah Baptist Church | Hopkins, SC Scripture: Genesis 49:28–50:14 In Genesis 49:28–50:14, Pastor Ken Addison walks through the death and burial of Jacob. After blessing his sons, Jacob gives one final command: he wants to be buried in the land of Canaan, the land God promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Jacob’s final request was an act of faith. Though he died in Egypt, he believed the promises of God and wanted his sons to remember that Egypt was not their home. God’s covenant promises were still sure, and Jacob died trusting that the Lord would fulfill every word He had spoken. This sermon also reminds us that grief is real and appropriate. Joseph deeply grieved the death of his father, and Scripture does not rush past that sorrow. Death is an enemy and a result of sin, but believers do not grieve as those without hope. Because Jesus Christ died for sinners and rose from the dead, death has been defeated. Those who trust in Christ have the sure hope of eternal life, the promise of resurrection, and the confidence that death will one day be swallowed up in victory. Watch and be encouraged to grieve with hope, trust the promises of God, and live now in light of the eternal life secured through Jesus Christ. Thank you for watching.
