Jacob, Pt. 1

JACOB: WRESTLING WITH GOD AND MAN Jacob was a clever and crafty, colorful and captivating, calculative and complex character. Jacob is not our model, neither are his methods and marriages.

The Fox Out-Foxed

Contributed by D Marion Clark on Aug 8, 2016

If there is one trait of Jacob that stands out, it is his craftiness. Our chapter presents another crafty fellow who will out-fox Jacob.

“a Vision That Changed The World” Series

Contributed by James Lee on Dec 4, 2015

I would like to thank Pastor Jerry Shirley for sharing this series on Acts. It has been a blessing as well as a great help. I have used these for our church, as I spend my days caring for my dying father.

“A Vision that Changed the World” Acts 10:1-33 God called the people of Israel to a special relationship with Him. They were to be His people, His witnesses and His missionaries to the rest of the world. But somewhere along the way they forgot their purpose and began to create barriers ...read more

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. On the one hand, maybe you’re just getting off the plane after a long tour of duty, your eyes scanning all ...read more

Going Forward With God Series

Contributed by Joel Smith on Jan 24, 2009

A rather mediocre sermon about Jacob’s facinating encounter with God at the Jabbok. The so-so title tells it all.

If you take the Bible seriously, it’s quite a frustrating book. Within its pages are outrageous commands like “be holy” (1 Peter 1:16) and “offer the parts of your body to [God] as instruments of righteousness” (Romans 6:13). Jesus laid a heavy burden on us when He said, “…be perfect, just as ...read more
