    Jacob was Isaac's son and Abraham's grandson. He stopped at Bethel, for the night, but some interesting things happened while he was there.

    Bethel: where Jacob met the Lord Preface: When you think of Jacob, what comes to mind? Clearly, he was one of the most colorful people in the Bible! Sometimes we think he was a shady character, such as when he “bargained” with Esau for the birthright. I still think there’s a bit of humor in that ...read more

    Life is full of struggles without Christ. Life is not for he that willeth nor runneth but of God that showeth mercy hence by strength shall no man prevail. Anyone that must make it in life, must be connected to Jesus.

    Jacob had an encounter with God that shook him to his core. This fugitive on the run discovered that his ancestors' God was his God, and that this God would be with him wherever he went. Great lessons for us to learn on our faith pilgrimage.

You might expect to encounter God at a church retreat or a revival meeting, or in an inspiring church service. You might expect to find God when you are serving him with all your heart.

    Jacob's Ladder Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Apr 13, 2022
     | 4,877 views

    Jacob the selfish man, whose life without God led him to desperation, reached a point where he needed the Lord. Often that is when God breaks through to a person. God spoke to Jacob through a dream. We call that dream, Jacob’s ladder.

    As believers in Jesus Christ, we are called to be different. This difference can be seen very distinctly when we have a proper attitude in our giving to God. A generous spirit in giving is stark contrast in a selfish me first world. Jacob has an experience with God and he is changed. His name ...read more
