Pastor Rick continues a verse-by-verse study through the book of Genesis. Everyone thinks about the future. It might be as trivial as what they are going to have for lunch. Or it might be something serious like what will happen if you get a diagnosis of illness. The stronger our faith, the less the future troubles us. Pastor Rick shares the account of Jacob at the end of his life blessing the sons of Joseph as an expression of his faith about the future. Genesis is the book of beginnings. Within the fifty chapters that make up this fascinating book of the Old Testament God exercises His creative power to bring the universe into existence by simply telling it to do so. Later we will see the creation of a special people with the calling of Abram. The Law is given later. Sadly, sin mars God’s ‘very good’ creation and so we also see the creation of a plan to redeem mankind back to the One True God. This very old book is very relevant to today.
