Revelation - We examined the first 'letter' to the assemblies, the letter to Ephesus in 2:1-7.

Genesis 31:43-55 - Laban and Jacob cut a covenant to do each other no harm. Laban disappears from the story after this, but the relationship ends in peace.

Genesis 31:33-42 - We continue the saga of Jacob's departure from Laban with a look at the showdown over the stolen idols. It seemed there was plenty of right and wrong to go around.

Genesis 31:11-32 - We continue the saga of Jacob's departure from Laban and his seeming 'race' across the land. We've got people behaving badly and lots of hurt because of it. We even question if Jacob inadvertently spelled Rachel's doom.

Genesis 30:29-31:10 - We continued our study of Jacob and his relationship with Laban. Things are getting worse between them. It appears that God has been preparing Jacob and Laban for Jacob's return to the promised land.

Genesis 30:10-28 - We continue to look at Jacob's children that are being born and the disintegrating family dynamic that continues to brew - now including Laban. In fact, Jacob wants to leave and Laban wants him to stay - why each one wants what he wants is the interesting part...

Genesis 29:28-30:9 - Jacob finally has Rachel for a wife (along with Leah) and we examine the family dynamics during the birth of the first six sons. (Jacob even obtained an extra "wife".)
