Jacob's Ladder Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Apr 13, 2022

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.

La Escalera De Jacob Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Sep 21, 2023
