Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 10, 2023

This sermon introduction explores the concept of personal change, questioning whether individuals are capable of significant transformation, and providing examples of famous individuals who have undergone notable changes in their lives.

Jacob-Glimpses Of His Twilight Years Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on May 18, 2022

The next to last chapters of Jacob's life are like a quiet period between his arrival in Hebron and his final earthly journey to Egypt. He endured several things but there is no record he ever lost his faith.

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Nov 25, 2012
