Genesis 32 | What does it feel like to be weak, wounded, and wrestled to the ground by God? Jacob knows, and it changed the way he walked through life. We need to know what this is like as well.
There is no prevailing without first having been weakened, wounded, and wrestled by God. Let's come together ready to "leave with a limp" from our study of this passage.
Genesis 29 | The schemer gets schemed. Jacob has been wheeling and dealing, scheming and dreaming, conniving and thriving (or so he thinks). He is about to meet his match in uncle Laban. Genesis 29 begins a series of events in which Laban and Jacob battle and scheme against each other. God is bringing Jacob face to face with one like him in the hopes of breaking him from his scheming and bringing him into a place of trust. God is good to allow us to meet our match in life in order to break us from the scheming of our ways and invite us into a complete trust in the Lord.
Genesis 28 | Have you ever found yourself making deals with God? "God if you... then I will..."
We find Jacob trying to make a deal with God while he is on the run from family drama in Genesis 28. Even after the Lord offers him the free gift of His mercy, Jacob still tries to scheme his way into blessing. What can we learn from Jacob, and where do we need to change "God, if you... then I..." deals into "God you have... so I will..." surrender?
Genesis 25 | If you experienced any kind of sibling rivalry growing up, I'm willing to bet it doesn't hold a candle to Jacob and Esau.
These twin boys were born to Isaac and Rebekah, and from the womb, they would war with one another. As they grew, some circumstances led to the intensity of their rivalry as well.
What was this all about? What was God doing in and through the lives of these twins? What do we learn about Jacob, who one day will have his name changed to Israel, paving the way for this family to become a nation?
