Issachar And Zebulun Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Apr 3, 2022

The sages read Genesis 49:13-15 very differently. They glorified Issachar while explaining away Zebulun's calm superiority in a way that does not denigrate Issachar. Zebulun was an aggressive tribe on the ascendancy, but Issachar was comparatively weak.

Issachar and Zebulun Among Jacob's sons from Leah, Issachar was the fifth and Zebulun the sixth (Genesis 30:18-20). 18Then Leah said, "God has given me my wages because I gave my maid to my husband." So she named him Issachar. 19Leah conceived again and bore a sixth son to Jacob. ...read more

You Are Not The Only One PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 1, 2025

God’s presence and grace sustain us through suffering, assuring us that we are never alone or abandoned, no matter how fierce the trials we face.

Some weeks feel like a parade of pressures. The inbox pings, the headlines howl, the household needs help now, and your heart whispers, “I’m tired.” Then, almost on cue, the old accuser nudges in with noise of his own—fear, shame, cynicism—like a lion pacing the fence line, waiting for a gap in the ...read more

Pastor Appreciation PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 6, 2025

Jesus gives pastors as a loving gift to His church, calling us to honor, support, and pray for them as they shepherd and serve us.

Some of the greatest gifts Jesus gives to His church have names and faces, coffee-stained sermon notes, calloused knees, and tender hearts. They stand at hospital bedsides, whisper prayers in empty sanctuaries, answer phone calls after midnight, and show up again on Sunday with a smile that says, ...read more

God lovingly calls all people, regardless of status or struggle, to gather in His presence, remember His mercy, and rejoice together in shared grace.

If you’ve arrived today with a full calendar and an even fuller heart, you’re in good company. Some of us come carrying victories we can’t wait to tell, others arrive with questions that have kept us up at night. Some of us are bone-tired. Some of us are heartsore.
