There will come a day when you will never walk or breath again. For Jacob, today is that day. He dies prophetically, pointing to a different age and a different place: Israel. Join me for a 7 minute video that looks at our end of this life for him and us too.

When God reveals a new name, it is a BIG DEAL. It is a characteristic that lasts FOREVER. We will be calling Him the same "names of old" in eternity.

The names also reveal something about ourselves. Oops. I didn't know I NEEDED that quality of God. Today we'll find out something new about God, and by extension, ourselves.

Join me to hear about the day when God offers David the best piece of real estate in history. He promises him a sure house, a permanent kingdom and a throne that will last forever. It is one of my favorite stories. Watch 7 minutes.

Join me for a 7 minute romp as we follow some of the prophesies of Jesus that start in Genesis. He's described as a lion cub. When we get to Revelation on the day of Judgement, He is the LION OF the tribe of Judah, the Root of David. Jesus is a GIANT LION. (which is also the name of an excellent worship group)

If you had a LAST CHANCE to bless someone, what would you say? We get a peak at such a scenario in today's passage. Would you ask they'd be OUT of the world, or smack in the middle of it? Would you ask for the PRESENCE of God, or forget it? Would you remember those who walked before you? Watch 7 minutes to see how Jacob does it right.

Imagine having to summon all your strength to even sit up in bed. Jacob does this at 147 years of age to BLESS THE NEXT GEN: his grandsons. In fact, he adopts them into his heritage plan. This decision ripples for centuries. For us: let's bless the next generation of family or church families. They need it!

Israel hangs around in Egypt long after the famine is over. They eventually are going to mired in slavery: a CIRCUMSTANCE THEY DO NOT PREFER. Why might a sovereign, good Lord allow this? (So that His name might be more fully proclaimed.)

Similarly, you may be enduring a circumstance that you too do not prefer. Join me for 7 minutes as we ask what sovereign work may be afoot in you.

At the end of a severe famine, Pharaoh ends up with all the money, all the Livestock, all the indentured servants and all the land of the Egyptians. He will also end up with a 20% tax on production in Egypt. It is going to set up what comes next for the Israelites: Slavery and redemption. Follow the story for 7 minutes with me.
