James continues our Sojourning with God series with a sermon on Genesis 48:8-20.
Sermon Discussion Questions:
1) God’s people are blessed to be a blessing (Gen.12:1-3; Ps.67). Sometimes it feels as if our suffering only gets in the way of our being a blessing to others. But as Jacob illustrates, it is more often the case that our sufferings qualify us to give a blessing.  How have you experienced this truth?
2) Re-read Ge.48:8-20. It is God’s pattern to reverse human systems of honor and give honor to “the last” and “least of these.” What hierarchies of honor does God’s kingdom contradict / upturn today? What ways can you act as an agent of God’s kingdom blessing the least and last in your circles of influence?
3) Jesus is culmination of Jacob’s blessing to Judah (Ge.49:8-12), and to all the tribes of Israel. He is the culmination of Abraham's blessing to the whole world! How is Jesus currently a blessing to you? In what ways is he your hope for future blessing now? (Be specific).
