    Friend, the most important thing that I want to drive across today to each one of you is to have control over your emotions, are you listening?

    Turbulent spirit Genesis 49:4 “Turbulent as the waters, you will no longer excel, for you went up onto your father’s bed, onto my couch and defiled it.” In the case of the tribe of Reuben, Joseph prophesied, "Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, the first sign of my strength, ...read more

    Reuben, Mister "Might Have Been” Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jul 13, 2022
     | 3,351 views

    The firstborn son had certain privileges in Hebrew families. Reuben, Jacob's oldest, gave in to sin and as a result, he lost his blessing and birthright. Don't make Reuben mistakes!

    Introduction: Back in the early 1980’s, Pastor Dale Burden, then living in the Tidewater area of Virginia (the cities near Norfolk and Virginia Beach) preached a message, or a series (IIRC) about Reuben, calling him “mister might have been”. After all these years, I still remember bits and pieces ...read more

    Jesus asked Simon Peter, "Who do people say that I am?" Peter answered, “John the Baptist, or Elijah, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.” Jesus asked, Who do you say I am? Peter’s answer reverberates across the centuries: "You are the Christ, the son of the living God"

    The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. Genesis 49:10

    When the Patriarch Jacob was nearing the end of his life, he gathered all his sons together and prophesied unto them about the future which would affect them as individuals, and the generations after them.

    Our Confession Of Sin Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,381 views

    Like Abraham, Jacob and David, and like all of our individual ancestors, we fall short of the mark too often–committing venial sins of omission and commission, and perhaps even total turn-aways from God’s plan.

    Tuesday of the 3rd Week in Advent 2019 Our Confession of Sin I have to admit that this is one of my favorite weekday Masses in the whole Lectionary, because we hear the genealogy of Our Lord Jesus. These old Hebrew names don’t necessarily roll off the tongue, but the list is important, because ...read more

    Shaping Your Legacy Series

     | 10,194 views

    Jacob's blessing of his sons provides an opportunity for hearers to think about their legacy. A legacy is built by choices. Our legacy does not control us. In Christ, we create a new legacy.

    SHAPING YOUR LEGACY—Genesis 49 Have you thought about what kind of legacy you will leave for your descendants? I’m not talking about wealth or property, but about the impact we have on the lives of others. We have all inherited a legacy. (Note to preacher: Personalize this!) I am a cheap ...read more

    These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Forty-Nine. In his work, "What does every Bible chapter say..." John Hunt gives an overview of each chapter of the Bible. It is my intention to do the same thing here.

    GENESIS CHAPTER FORTY-NINE OVERVIEW Overall what is happening in this chapter is that Jacob blesses his sons before he dies. Joseph Benson’s Commentary (1857) - Genesis 49 Jacob, being about to die, blesseth his sons, and foretelleth what shall happen to each of them hereafter. He giveth them ...read more

    Character Study Of Reuben Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 21, 2025
     | 1,260 views

    Reuben had a great destiny as the firstborn of Jacob, but his moral failure and instability led to his downfall. His life teaches us that position alone does not determine greatness—it is character, self-control, and responsibility that shape our destiny.

    CHARACTER STUDY OF REUBEN – FIRSTBORN OF JACOB By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Genesis 29:32 – “And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the Lord hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.” Supporting Texts: Genesis ...read more
