Jacob-Glimpses Of His Twilight Years Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on May 18, 2022

The next to last chapters of Jacob's life are like a quiet period between his arrival in Hebron and his final earthly journey to Egypt. He endured several things but there is no record he ever lost his faith.

Isaac, his father, had died; he was at peace with his brother Esau; and it seemed all would be going well for him in his twilight years. But several things were ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

In chapter six, the apostles felt the need to bring before the church the task of selecting seven deacons.
