With the life of Jacob it is evident that God is present in his life and that His hand is on him. However, with Jacob's twin brother Esau the opposite seems evident. In this sermon based on the history of Esau and his descendants, Brother Tracey looks at the lack of the presence of God in their lives.

Jacob was a blessed man and had God's hand on his life the whole way. In this passage that blessing is explicitly given through God's covenant promises. However, after this promise of blessing the events in Jacob's life look like anything but what we think of as a blessed life. In this sermon Brother Tracey looks at lessons we can all learn from the life of this blessed man.

In this passage God calls Jacob to get up and come to Bethel in order to worship Him there. In this sermon Brother Tracey looks at the response and result of God's call on Jacob and applies it to the different calls He puts on our lives.

The Resurrection of Christ is reason to celebrate. But those reasons cannot be seen unless they are shown in light of the gospel. The resurrection and the gospel are inseparably linked. You can't have one without the other. In this sermon Brother Tracey lays out the gospel by which we are saved and how the resurrection of Christ is a vital part of that.

In this passage sin and tragedy abound. From beginning to end, no one looks good as sin only increases the further the story unfolds. This is one of those shockingly honest passages of Scripture that lays bare the sinfulness of man and all its' ugliness. In this sermon Brother Tracey gives 5 lessons we can learn from this sordid tale.

After a night of wrestling with God, Jacob meets his brother Esau and by God's grace the two experience a beautiful tear filled reconciliation. Jacob had fervently sought God's blessing and as a result God not only delivered him from his fear that Esau would kill him, but he also gave him the gift of the favor and forgiveness of his brother. But, unfortunately it does not take Jacob long to slip into some old tendencies and take a spiritual step backward. In this passage Brother Tracey looks at both the good and the bad of Jacob's reunion with his brother Esau.

In this passage we once again see Jacob striving and seeking certain ends in his life. But this time, the things he is striving for are things that should be diligently sought after by people of faith. In examining this chapter, we can learn a lot about what we should be striving for and how to go about it.

Jacob's exodus from Mesopotamia highly resembles the Israelites' exodus from Egypt which is a picture of our own salvation in Christ. In this sermon Brother Tracey looks at how Jacob's exodus points to Christ and our salvation in Him.
