Pastor Johnston's message this morning is a continuation of the message he began last sunday evening.

Intro: Jacob knew his time on earth was short. He was very old (147 years) and ill. So he called Joseph and his two sons to come to his bedside to rehearse in their ears what God had laid on his heart to pass on for their faith and future. Jacob's 3-step approach could help us do the same. Last week we saw him...
