In support of proposition one: There is a prophetic symmetry enhancing the glories of Palm Sunday in covenant history. 1. Joseph’s coronation (Gen 41:38…

The book of Genesis is separated by two major historical context divisions. The 1st includes chapters 1-11 involving the state of all the world before and after both the fall of man and the great flood. The 2nd includes chapters 12-50 which follow the family line and promises of Abraham in the interest of a saving hope for humanity. The book of Gen…

An overview of Joseph’s life reveals striking parallels in his calling & ministry to the person and work of Jesus. Jesus was the ultimate Messiah stooping low to save His people.

The vantage point of the mountains in proximity to Jerusalem serve as a stage for the proclamations (Mt. Sinai, Mt. Carmel) and purposes of God (Mt. Moriah, Calvary) throughout covenant history. We can easily imagine our author inspired to write this song on his way to worship in Jerusalem. Perhaps traveling there at great cost. He traverses hill a…

What was to be the basis for the same mind and judgment that would establish the unifying principle among believers in Corinth? Paul had received reports of schism within the church. Factions were developing around various burgeoning ministries in the early days of Christianity. This tendency likely mirrored worldly trends at the time. Greco/Roman …

Much of Jacob’s life bore testimony to the grace of God in spite of his own frailties and failures. By his own accounting before Pharaoh he declared (47:9) “…Few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their sojourning.” Jacob was greatly overs…

Jacob's dying song prophesies that the sons of Rachel will be incorporated in the legacy and blessings of all future national Israel. Ephraim's name, as the prominent son of Joseph, will become synonymous with the ten northern tribes, and Benjamin will join Judah as a southern tribe as covenant history unfolds. Given this context, the blessings pro…

Anticipating much of what he will expand later by way of correction and instruction, Paul introduces church essentials here in the spirit of affirmation. A quote from one commentary (JFB) notes: “Chrysostom remarks that the name of Christ is oftener mentioned in this than in any other epistle, the apostle designing thereby to draw them away from th…

Following the theme from last week's sermon: “Shepherd’s Lament” from Ps 123 and returning to our text in Genesis 49, we trace the yearning for salvation language back further still to the patriarchal era of covenant history. (Review) Lament: “When the longing of our souls joins the groaning of all creation in anguish and faith that upon the coming…

There are advent connections to Psalm 123 to bracket our message today. Throughout the prophets and in particular Jeremiah's “Lamentations”, the reader encounters a striking tone of sadness coloring so much of this Old Testament literature. While hopeful, our song today is another example of sorrow expressed in the Biblical record. Why are sad song…

In Jacob's dying song we revisit a great theme of the book of Genesis: 'The Significant Son'. Remember the hope of Genesis 3:15? The woman's son would crush the serpents head. Perhaps Adam and Eve where hopeful that their first born Cain would be their savior. As the narrative continues, the birth of Seth following the murder of Able and the banish…

A subtitle for today's message could be: “Patriarchal Prophecy”. Consider the significant context of these events recorded in Genesis chapters 48 & 49. Jacob has called a family reunion for the purpose of prophetic declaration. Assembling his sons, he takes the occasion of his looming death to communicate to the next generation their covenantal ide…

What event might have marked the singing of the very first song of ascent in its historical context? Who might be its author and singer? I submit a compelling case can be made for King David and the events of II Sam 6. Here, upon the king's direction, the ark of the covenant makes its own ascent up the hill of the Lord to be placed in the city of J…

This message is our 13th sermon from the short, yet powerful epistle of Jude. Once a month, for more than a year, we have considered in detail the implications an applications of Jude's instructions to the church. Today we will seek to place these themes in context considering the book as a whole. I have taken as my outline for Jude's letter, the f…

Genesis 33:19-20 records a modest land purchase secured by Jacob no doubt representing a down payment or planted flag heralding a return to the land in future generations. This is just one example of an easily forgotten detail in the text that finds its significance in light of passages like ours today. In this message we consider a patriarchal ble…

Jacob's eyes are dim with age as he approaches death's door at 147 years. However, the eyes of his faith clearly see far beyond the grave, growing sharper with age. Jacob leaves his family and the reader with this noble testimony in these latter chapters of Genesis. However sad the patriarch's death may seem, he has learned that it will certainly n…
