    Jesus Is Jacob’s Ladder

    Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Aug 10, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,010 views

    Jacob dreamed about a ladder reaching to Heaven. Jesus revealed that He is that ladder, that one way to reach God.

    Jacob was a deceiver (Genesis 27). His mother Rebekah came up with a plan. She and Jacob deceived Isaac and stole Esau’s blessing. Esau planned to kill Jacob as soon as their father died. Rebekah heard about Esau’s plan and told Jacob. At Rebekah’s prompting, Issac sent Jacob to Haran to find a ...read more

    Sermon # 36 - Revive The Love In Your Marriage Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 21, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,411 views

    If we want our marriages to be vibrant and happy, we must work towards getting back to the love we had for each other when we first got married. Here are some practical counsel from God’s word on how we can make love grow in our marriages.

    We read in Ecclesiastes 4:9, “Two are better off than one, because together they can work more effectively.” (GNB) The counsel that we receive from the word of God as mentioned in the above verse, is that two are far better than one, as together they can work far more efficiently on any given ...read more

    La Escalera De Jacob Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Sep 21, 2023
     | 5,861 views

    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

    Genesis Chapter Twenty-Eight Series

    Contributed by Tom Shepard on Oct 6, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,326 views

    These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Twenty-Eight. 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 TWENTY-EIGHT OVERVIEW Overall what is happening in this chapter is that Jacob prepares to leave his parents and is directed to take a wife from the daughters of Laban his uncle. On his journey Jacob has a dream of a ladder reaching to heaven. Thomas Coke (1801) – Genesis 28 Isaac ...read more

    Jacob-The Original 90-Month Fiancé! Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Feb 15, 2023
     | 1,714 views

    Jacob left his home in Beersheba, heading to his uncle Laban's land, 450 miles away, in order to find a wife. Allowing five months for the journey, and a month before starting his seven-year contract, he was the original 90-month fiance'!

    (Full disclosure: Sermon Central has accepted two messages of mine in a series about Jacob dealing with his situation here, namely, how he got his two wives. They’re “Jacob-What He Did For Love” and “Jacob-Finding True Love--And More” but this message is not simply an edit of these two ...read more

    There are always two categories of people anywhere – those who seek God for personal gain and the ones who seek God for who He really is. Which group do we belong to?

    We remind ourselves that this series of messages are based on Act 11:21“And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.” (KJV) The Lord’s hand is a powerful hand, a hand that helps, a hand that exalts us, and His hand is at work in all areas of our ...read more

    God Loves Camping

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Oct 4, 2022
     | 1,797 views

    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.

    Honestly, I don’t like camping too much. I’m away from the comforts of home, living on simple food, risking my life with wild animals around, etc. I’m not an outdoor-type person. 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

    The Stairway To Heaven

    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

    Pondering God’s Goodness

    Quality worship experience is dependent upon biblical principles. This message examines some of those principles as stated in Psalm 65.

    We take as our text today, Psalm 65. In the Bible God has given us a healthy spiritual balance of truth. Some portions of Scripture warn and correct. In Psalm 19:7-11 David celebrated this. He wrote, “The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making ...read more

    In life, we may tear down relationships or we may build relationships. We use similar aspects to both destroy and build. Christians should be known as builders.

    “Early in the morning Jacob took the stone that he had put under his head and set it up for a pillar and poured oil on the top of it. He called the name of that place Bethel, but the name of the city was Luz at the first.” [1] In the movie Forrest Gump, one scene pictures Forrest and Jenny ...read more

    Jacob’s family life is almost continual strife. As great Jacob became, he will see him transform before our eyes in the weeks to come. From a scheming manipulator to a humbled man, Jacob transforms by the grace of God.

    We continue our series, My Crazy Family, only it is the Tailgate edition. It gets even crazier today. Great things can come from broken families. Jacob is a complex character – he’s truly a piece of work. For much of his life, this much was true of Jacob – Jacob always put Jacob first in every area ...read more

    Asher: The Man Called "Happy”

     | 7,855 views

    Asher, the man called "Happy" has special significance; He parallels Christians. Born with problems, but God spoke the prophecy over him that “He shall be ‘Happy.’” The same prophecy has been spoken over us!

    ASHER: THE MAN CALLED “HAPPY” Gen. 30:12-13; Deut. 33:24-25 INTRODUCTION 1. I’ve only met one man who went by the name ‘HAPPY,’ but there was a man in the Bible who had that name. In Hebrew his name is Asher, but it means ‘Happy.’ He was one of the 12 sons of Jacob and the head of a tribe. 2. ...read more

    We know that Jacob worked for Laban for 20 years in total (Genesis 31:38). Genesis 29:18 indicates that Jacob spent 7 years working for Laban to receive Rachel as his wife.

    God With Us: The Promises Beyond The Prophecy

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Aug 15, 2021

    Isaiah 7:14 is quoted in Matthew 1:23 as a verification of the prophecy concerning the virgin conception of the Lord Jesus. God is with us in the midst of our troubles, our victories, the affairs of humanity, the events of the last days and eternity (Hebrews 13:5).

    The LORD always comes through even when it seems that we have run to the end of the road and see no way out of the predicament in which we find ourselves, both as individuals and as a nation. He has let us go our merry way throughout the course of history, with the consequences to follow. Our ...read more
