BUILDING PROJECT

We are so deeply thankful for your prayers, financial, and service as we have labored toward being in our building!

Last week we had 15 volunteers give many hours to getting this space ready for this weekend. We still have more to do, and would appreciate any help this week as well. If you haven't volunteered and are on the fence we would love to give some of the people who were able to come last week a break this week.

A BLESSING IS A PROCLAMATION THAT GOD HAS GOOD THINGS FOR US, OUR CHILDREN, AND OUR LOVED ONES.

From LOGOS:
A wish, expression, or gift for the wellbeing of another. In cases of divine blessing it becomes an act in favor of the one being blessed.

Lexham Bible Dictionary:
BLESS AND CURSEThe act of making a binding verbal pronouncement of good or evil on another person or persons.

WE are called to bless others, our children, our families our loved ones…Jesus even calls us to bless those who curse us…

TO GIVE A BLESSING: is to proclaim and stand in faith that God has good things for us, our children and our loved ones.
By FAITH, Jacob acts at the end of his life;
BLESSES EACH OF JOSEPH'S SONS,

Some versions: "head/post of his bed"; rather than "on his staff"

Either way, he bows in worship at the promise that his remains will be buried in the Promised Land alongside his fathers.

Jacob/Israel claims Joseph's two sons in place of Simeon (and Joseph himself).

Joseph is the 11th-born, but firstborn from Rachel.
Joseph receives the blessing of a firstborn, which would be a double portion, by having a full portion given to each of his two sons.

After this, in chapter 49, Jacob blesses the rest of his sons.

BY FAITH: Jacob blesses the sons of Joseph.

BY FAITH: WE DECLARE THE GOODNESS OF GOD TO THOSE WHO LOVE AND FOLLOW HIM.
Jacob intentionally switches his hands to bless the younger one.

BY FAITH: WE DECLARE THE GOODNESS OF GOD OVER THOSE WHO LOVE AND FOLLOW HIM.
BY FAITH: JACOB WORSHIPS AND BLESSES
IN FAITH: JACOB looks at PAST and PRESENT

BY FAITH: WE PRAISE GOD AND DECLARE HIS BLESSINGS OVER THOSE WHO LOVE AND FOLLOW HIM.
