    God has not limited His presence of activities to a building or to a calendar.

He had a vision of a staircase reaching into heavens with the angels of God "ascending and descending on it" (Genesis 28:12). The Bible said that he called the name of that place Bethel, "the house of God" ...read more

     | 6,665 views

    Despite his past, Jacob encounters God and sees that nothing is the same. God in Christ shows us how to protect ourselves from the devil’s claim that life is ordinary and meaningless.

    Last week we established the fact that Jacob was a cheat. After that incident, and before the incident we read of today, we learn that he is a liar and a thief as well. You all know the story of how Jacob masquerades as Esau to obtain his father Issac’s blessing. It is not too much later that ...read more
