Sermons on Bereshis 28:12:

The Stairway To Heaven

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on May 3, 2021

Have you ever noticed that? The Bible is not simple, and it's not man made. It's all interconnected. The first verse of the Old Testament says "in the beginning God created" it all. Of course we know from Genesis chapters 2 and 3 that things went wrong.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. John 1:1. Have you ever noticed that? The Bible is not simple, and it's not man made. It's all interconnected. The first verse of the Old ...read more

La Escalera De Jacob Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Sep 21, 2023

Jacob, el hombre egoísta, cuya vida sin Dios lo llevó a la desesperación, llegó a un punto en el que necesitaba al Señor. Dios le habló a Jacob a través de un sueño. A ese sueño lo llamamos la escalera de Jacob.

Como creyentes en Jesucristo, estamos llamados a ser diferentes. Esta diferencia se puede ver muy claramente cuando tenemos una actitud adecuada al dar a Dios. Un espíritu generoso al dar es un marcado contraste en un primer mundo egoísta. Jacob tiene una experiencia con Dios y es ...read more

God Loves Camping

Contributed by Paul Robinson on Oct 4, 2022

The best way to get to know God is by spending some alone time with Him. We see this is true for Bible characters who went "camping" and while they were alone, God met with them.

But did you know that God loves camping? Here in Genesis 28, Jacob goes camping while on the way to his Uncle Laban’s ...read more
