In this edition of UBC "Sermon Discussions" Jason Wing and Deacon Chairman Cory Thomas discuss questions related to Sunday’s Sermon out of Genesis 47:13-48:22.

The main idea for the sermon was: When you believe who God is, you can live a life of faith

Questions discussed in this episode:

Q. Why didn’t Jacob just bless Joseph, but instead included Ephraim and Manasseh?

Q. In the rest of the storyline of Scripture, what happens to Ephraim and Manasseh? Does Ephraim become greater than Manasseh? Does Manasseh end up like the other older brothers (Ishmael and Esau).

Q. This blessing of Joseph’s boys seems to be a big, climactic point in the story of Genesis. Is it really that big of a  deal? What significance does it really have?

Q. What are ways we can live by and demonstrate the kind of faith mentioned in this passage?
