When God Calls Your Name: Jacob Series

Contributed by Scott Bayles on Sep 11, 2021

How would you respond if God called your name not once, but twice? In the Bible, God calls plenty of people often by name, but I’ve only found seven times where God calls out someone’s name twice in a row. In each instance, what follows is a life-changing encounter with the God of creation.

When God Calls Your Name… Twice: Jacob Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 7/24/2016 Hearing your name called can evoke different responses depending on the circumstances.

When You Fail To Trust God

Contributed by Norris Harris I on Jun 22, 2007

This message deals with the consequences of our failure to trust God based on the experience of Jacob. Be Blessed!
