Evening Message: Tragedy, not Triumph (Ephraim and Asher) (04/12/2026)
Working through 1 Chronicles 7:20-40 as the last two tribes in a series on the sons of Jacob, the sermon contrasts Ephraim, whose prominence and privilege without faithfulness led to tragedy, division, and exile, with Asher, whose overlooked, stable, well-provided life carries the opposite danger of comfort breeding spiritual complacency; God works his purposes through both tragic and stable lives, and both are fulfilled in Christ.
