Genesis 48 | Greg
Packinghouse’s Wednesday night worship service from May 20, 2026.
Genesis 48 highlights God’s faithfulness to His covenant promises through the final days of Jacob’s life as he blesses Joseph’s sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, before his death . This message walks through the powerful adoption and blessing scene where Jacob gives Joseph a double portion among the tribes of Israel, while also prophetically placing the greater blessing on the younger son, Ephraim, showing again that God’s grace and calling are not based on human tradition, status, or natural expectations. Throughout the study, we are reminded that God remains faithful to His promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, including His covenant concerning the land of Israel and the future of His people. At the same time, the message points believers to the greater spiritual truth that God adopts His people by grace, faithfully shepherds them through every season of life, and always finishes the work He begins.
