In this edition of UBC "Sermon Discussions" Dr. Jeremy Kimble answers questions related to his Genesis 28:10-22 sermon.

The main idea for the sermon was: Know true blessing through trusting in God’s promises and presence.

Questions discussed in this episode: 

Does God still speak (communicate) with people today through dreams?

Is it really true that there is nothing I can do to escape the presence of God?

You shared a monologue you had with yourself during a trip where you were leading your family and you kept getting off course. You heard a voice telling you that you aren’t good enough. Can you share ways to fight the lies the Devil hits us with everyday that tempt us to take our eyes of Jesus?

The simple belief that God’s presence will never leave his children should empower his followers to spread the gospel all the time. Why do you think this is still a struggle for Christians?

I struggle with fear. What are some ways I can get rid of this spirit of fear?

What would you say to Christians who are not making disciples? Am I disobeying God if I am not evangelizing and making disciples?

What would you say to Christians who overemphasize "waiting on God's timing" to be faithful? For example, someone doesn't want to share the gospel with a friend because they feel it isn't quite "God's timing" just yet. Is that similar or different from Jacob waiting 20 years?
