Teaching Jacob blesses Judah the lion

God works through ordinary families across many years to keep His biggest promises - He was even pointing all the way to Jesus.

  • Jacob knew each of his sons and blessed each one differently. How does it feel to know God knows YOU, completely and personally?
  • Jacob pointed to a great King who would come from his family - all the way to Jesus! How does it feel that God was planning for Jesus that long ago?
  • Jacob's long life was full of mistakes AND God's faithfulness. What does that tell you about how God works in our lives?
