Genesis 32 – Wrestling with God

Genesis 32 – Wrestling with God. Many people have been fighting with God their whole life, and Jacob is no exception.

Genesis 31:22-55 – Jacob’s Conflict (Part 2)

Genesis 31:22-55, Jacob’s Conflict (Part 2), When it comes to building meaningful relationships, the rewards of obeying God’s Word are profound. On the flip side, the pain and dysfunction sin brings into relationships is downright brutal. Many people, like Jacob, hate conflict in relationships and they avoid it at all cost.

Genesis 29:1-30 – Jacob in the Mirror

In Genesis 29 – Jacob in the Mirror, we learn that without Godly character we turn God’s blessings into a mess! Jacob, the son of Isaac, falls in love with Rachel and in spite of his seven years of labor is swindled in the final moment of betrothal.

Genesis 28:10-22 – Jacob, God Builds a Man

Genesis 28:10-22 – Jacob, God Builds a Man, shows us the lengths God goes through to build His leaders. Despite Jacob’s God-fearing family, a relationship with God was not automatic.

Jacob envisions a ladder coming down from heaven in his dream, where angels are going up and down the ladder. God personally comforts Jacob as He recounts the covenant promise he gave to Abr...

Genesis 27:1-33 – Spiritual Imposters

Genesis 27:1-33 – Spiritual Imposters, teaches us about the detrimental effect of man’s lack of spiritual leadership in his family. Isaac had ignored God’s instruction to him about which one of his sons he was to pass on the family’s spiritual blessings.

Genesis 26:1-14 – How God Leads

Genesis 26:1-14 – How God Leads. How we react to problems and trials reveals a lot about who we are. Isaac was faced with a difficult event in his life.

Genesis 23 – A Faithful Pilgrimage, demonstrates to us, through the life of Abraham, how to walk a life of faith and lose a loved one, yet still have hope.
