This morning Pastor Johnston continues with his series on "CHARACTER MATTERS", Presenting Points IV, V, & VI.

Intro - Last week we saw that "Character is what you are in the dark", it is the condition of your heart. We affirmed that character does matter. We see this in the sons of Jacob. In Genesis 49, Jacob's last words to his 12 boys are recorded. Their father's prophecies resemble their personal character.
