    Just like God called Jacob back to Bethel, so should we hear and respond to return to our place of spiritual birth.

    Return To Bethel Genesis 31:13 The life of Jacob is an interesting read for many reasons. Almost every type of person imaginable can find something in common with Jacob (even if it's nothing but being a parent). Let me recap a little of his life. Jacob & Esau were twin boys of Issac, the son of ...read more

    When Jacob has to flee Laban, he learns Esau is comming at him with 400 armed men. His schemes have caught up with him as he finds himself between a rock and a hardplace. What was God doing in the situation? What do we do when we find ourselves in a place

    Genesis 32:17-31 9/14/14 What do you do when you find yourself between a rock and a hard place? I’m talking about those times in life when there seem to be no good options.

    On the way to meet his extranged brother Esau, Jacob experienced a strange encounter with a "man," who Jacob identified as God himself.

    WRESTLING WITH GOD Please turn to Genesis 32. Having made a covenant of peace with Laban, his nettlesome father-in-law, Jacob traveled southward through the country east of the Jordan River. The “angels of God” met him there. Their purpose seems to have been to set up a meeting between Jacob and ...read more

    Studies In Genesis: Chapter 31 Series

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 16, 2011

    This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.

    Note: When doing a study on a book in the Bible you use a lot of resources. The major influence for me on this study of Genesis is The Genesis Record by Henry Morris. þ L @ @ ° T Ð ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ –C èJ €J ŠJ L ÖJ ÖJ ÖJ ÖJ à=Ð/ Ð 8 ...read more

    These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Thirty-One. In his work, "What does every Bible chapter say..." John Hunt gives an overview of each chapter of the Bible. It is my intention to do the same thing here.

    GENESIS CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE OVERVIEW Overall what is happening in this chapter is that Jacob decides to return to his home country with his wives and children, but Laban peruses him. Thomas Coke (1801) – Genesis 31 Jacob, having communicated his design to his wives, departs secretly from Laban ...read more
