Pastor Cameron brings our "From Jacob to Israel" series to an end by looking at the final name Jacob was given - Jeshurun. Jeshurun means "straight" - the Lord transformed Jacob until his character was finally completely straightened and upright!

As a result of his encounter with God, Jacob's hip was put out of place and he walked with a limp. This limp was a constant reminder of his need to rely on the Lord's strength and not his own, as Pastor Cameron reminds us today! 

The core characteristic of Jacob's life that led to his transformation was his persistence. He refused to let go until God blessed and transformed him - join Pastor Cameron as he exhorts us to have a similar determination! 

God used Laban as a vessel of wrath in Jacob's life. We never want to be used as a vessel of wrath but rather as a vessel of mercy, as Pastor Cameron encourages us today. 

Join Pastor Cameron for a new week on the podcast. In God's mercy, He revealed the sin and deception in Jacob's life by bringing him to an even greater deceiver, Laban. 

On today's episode, Pastor Cameron discusses how Jacob named the city where he had his vision Bethel, meaning "the house of God." As believers, we need to remember that everywhere we go should become a home for God's presence!

Another aspect of Jacob's transformation was that he had visions from God - when God spoke to Him it gave Jacob confidence that God would be working through the trials that lay ahead. Join Pastor Cameron as he considers Jacob's vision on today's episode. 

On today's podcast, Pastor Cameron discusses Jacob's inability to trust in God's timing for His blessings. Jacob's sin and impatience led to much heartache and pain over the years.

Despite his many sins and imperfections, Jacob desperately desired the blessings of God, and this desire ultimately led to his transformation. Join Pastor Cameron as we look at Jacob's desire on today's episode. 

The life of Jacob shows the transforming power of God - he went from being a liar and deceiver to a prince of God! Join Pastor Cameron as we start a new year with this new series on the podcast!
