In this edition of UBC "Sermon Discussions" Jason Wing and Deacon Chairman Cory Thomas discuss questions related to Sunday’s Sermon out of Genesis 50.

The main idea for the sermon was: The Christ foreshadowed in the Genesis story, and featured in the Bible's story, is the Christ who fulfills your story.

Questions discussed in this episode:

Q. We wrapped up the Genesis series with the account of the end of Joseph’s life in chapter 50. Jason did a good job of hitting the highlights, but he couldn’t touch on everything. Corey, what other thoughts on the end of the Joseph account would you like to share?

Q. Both Jacob and Joseph have their sons swear to them that they will bury their father’s bones in Canaan. Should we swear? Matthew 5 - Jesus says do not swear. Let your yes be yes. Explain what the meaning of swearing is in this chapter and should we swear to others today?

Q. In chapter 50, we saw Joseph’s lack of vengeance toward his brothers and his spirit of forgiveness toward them. It is hard for me to forgive. How do I forgive someone that abused me? I want to follow God well. Help me navigate this.
