This sermon by the Rev. Peter Moore was given at Greenfield Presbyterian Church, Berkley, MI and is the first in a series for the 2019 Stewardship Campaign "At The Movies". This week uses "The Lion King" for illustration. Scripture is taken from the New Revised Standard Version of the Holy Bible. It is included as part of the sermon.
Genesis 49:9-10
9 Judah is a lion’s whelp;
from the prey, my son, you have gone up.
He crouches down, he stretches out like a lion,
like a lioness—who dares rouse him up?
10 The scepter shall not depart from Judah,
nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet,
until tribute comes to him;[a]
and the obedience of the peoples is his.

Footnotes:
[a] Genesis 49:10 Or until Shiloh comes or until he comes to Shiloh or (with Syr) until he comes to whom it belongs
