• September 17, 2023The pain of sin in Jacob's Family

  Title: The Pain of Sin in Jacob's Family

  Text: Genesis 34

  Big idea: Sin always brings pain.

  
  

  Three sins in this text that lead to pain:

  (1)   Selfish leadership leads to pain

  (2)   Corrupt sexuality leads to pain 

  (3)   Dishonesty leads to pain

  
  

  Application:

  - Looking to Jesus’ sacrificial leadership, let’s pursue selflessness 

  - Looking to Jesus’ joyful purity, let’s fight for personal holiness 

  - Looking to Jesus’ truthfulness, let’s use our words to benefit others
