    Jacob is going to move on from one job to another. He’s leaving his place where he has a job now and he’s going to go to another job.

    In our story today in Genesis 31 we see that Jacob is going to move on from one job to another. He’s leaving his place where he has a job now and he’s going to go to another job. I want to prepare our hearts for this study today by imagining us being in the story. I think the best way to do that ...read more

    On the way to meet his extranged brother Esau, Jacob experienced a strange encounter with a "man," who Jacob identified as God himself.

    WRESTLING WITH GOD Please turn to Genesis 32. Having made a covenant of peace with Laban, his nettlesome father-in-law, Jacob traveled southward through the country east of the Jordan River. The “angels of God” met him there. Their purpose seems to have been to set up a meeting between Jacob and ...read more

    These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Thirty-One. 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.

He looked down at Sodom and Gomorrah and the whole valley and saw rising from the land, like smoke from a huge furnace.” (GNB) God had revealed to Abraham that He was ...read more
