January 29, 2023 – Jacob meets and falls in love with Rachel this week, but by the end of the story he’s married her sister Leah! It’s like a soap opera, but there’s gospel in it. After all, have you ever woken up to find you aren’t living the life you thought you would?

January 15, 2023 – In the story of Jacob and Esau (and their parents) we see various parties grasping after what they want, or what they think is rightfully theirs. None of them exemplify great virtue, so it’s hard to know who to root for; but that’s because it’s ultimately not about our virtue. It’s about God.
