While God is hammering out some character flaws and sin issues in Jacob's life, He is also working on other people in Jacob's family. In particular, God takes note of the fact that Jacob's wife, Leah, was unloved. She will go through the painful realization that only God can satisfy the deepest longings of her soul for love and acceptance. Turn in your Bibles to Genesis 29 for today's study with Pastor Gary Hamrick entitled, "For the Love of Leah."

Jacob is on the run from his angry brother, Esau. On the way to Haran, Jacob has an encounter with God through a dream. The dream is of a stairway, or ladder, from earth to heaven with angels ascending and descending, and the Lord at the top of the stairway. Through this divine dream, Jacob learns a few things about the character and nature of God that remain good lessons for us today about the PURSUIT, the PRESENCE, and the PROVISION of God. Turn in your Bibles to Genesis 28 as Pastor Gary Hamrick shares "Lessons from a Ladder."

After Esau was treated with such deception and dishonesty by his brother, the Bible tells us that he "held a grudge" against Jacob. It was so severe that Esau even had thoughts of murdering his brother. Maybe you haven't been angry enough to want to kill someone, but all of us have had to deal with feelings of anger, resentment or bitterness over the way someone has treated us. Unfortunately, we often become prisoners of bitterness when we hold a grudge. But there is a way to experience freedom from resentment! Join Pastor Gary Hamrick today as we tackle this subject from the closing verses of Genesis 27.

"What a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive." The story of Isaac's family in Genesis 27 is a clear illustration of this saying. Every person is manipulating or deceiving another member of the family either to hinder the work of God or to hasten the work of God for personal gain. Unfortunately, they serve as examples of how NOT to behave. We will learn more lessons from this flawed family in today's study with Pastor Gary Hamrick entitled, "A Web of Deception."

After twenty years of infertility, God blesses Isaac and Rebekah with twins--Jacob and Esau. Unfortunately, we learn quickly that the entire family is flawed with favoritism, manipulation, deception, and fleshly desires. They are not unlike ourselves. Still, amazingly, this family is part of God's covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and now Jacob. It's another example of how God uses flawed, ordinary people to accomplish His perfect, extraordinary work. Let's learn lessons together from Genesis 25 as Pastor Gary teaches on "Jacob and Esau: Double Trouble."
