Sermon: The Lion of Judah (Genesis 49)

What if the choices you make today could echo through generations—and even point to the Savior of the world? In this sermon, we explore Genesis 49, where Jacob delivers prophetic blessings to his twelve sons, shaping the destinies of Israel’s tribes. From Reuben’s fall due to reckless actions to Judah’s rise as the line of the Messiah, this sermon uncovers timeless truths: our actions carry consequences, God offers redemption from our past, and godly character yields eternal rewards. Hear how Judah, despite his failures, becomes the forebear of Jesus Christ—the Lion of the tribe of Judah—and how Joseph’s steadfast faith leaves a lasting legacy. Join us as we unpack these ancient words, challenge ourselves to live with eternity in view, and marvel at the thread of grace that leads to the King whose kingdom never ends.
