What If God Has Been Better to You Than You Realize? A dying man reflecting on the goodness of God

About this sermon

Genesis 48 | Jacob Blesses Joseph's Sons, Part 1 Ken Addison - Teaching Pastor Sermon preached April 12, 2026 This week in Genesis 48, we see Jacob at the end of his life remembering the goodness and faithfulness of God. Even after a life filled with struggles, grief, failures, and pain, Israel ends well — not complaining, but commending God. As Jacob blesses Joseph’s sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, he reflects on the God who appeared to him, shepherded him, redeemed him, and stayed with him through every season of life. He reminds Joseph that their true home is not Egypt, but the land God promised them. And through it all, Jacob points his children and grandchildren toward faith in the covenant-keeping God. This passage reminds us that God is our Shepherd, our Redeemer, and the One who never leaves His people. Through Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd laid down His life for wandering sheep like us so that we could be forgiven, redeemed, and brought safely into His flock forever.
