Walk Worthy

Pastor Caleb preaches from Genesis 35:1-29.  As the Jacob narrative (Genesis 25 - 35) comes to a close, it is evident that Jacob's life has been one of continual turbulence; Jacob has been the cause of his own distress. In Genesis 35 we are pointed to the enduring grace of God - a grace that meets us in our distress and failure. Originally recorded Sunday, May 8, 2022.

Pastor Sean preaches from Genesis 34:1-31.  Like his father Isaac before him, and his grandfather Abraham before him, Jacob’s failures, and the failures of his sons, are utterly repugnant. These are some of the worst moments of Jacob’s life, calling into question how it is that Yahweh could stomach partnering with such flawed individuals. Yet despite the colossal failures of the seed of Abraham, Yahweh’s faithfulness to raise up one born of a woman to crush the head of the serpent is invincible, and this is the best of God that we ache for when the complete disaster of partial obedience exposes us to the worst of people.

Pastor Sean preaching from Genesis 32:1-32 - Jacob undergoes an extremely significant transformation in Genesis 32. He has to deal with Esau, and by extension, God, as a result of his deception 20 years earlier. He is threatened, fearful, prayerful, wrestles with God alone in the dark, is defeated, and limps away, yet with a new name and God’s blessing at the break of day. Are we prepared for God to humble our schemes and ambitions so that we would truly know his blessing?

In the world of music there is a term known as “overture,” which introduces melodies, harmonies, and movements that the audience will hear throughout a performance. As we continue in Genesis, we come to a theological overture in the life of Jacob, a taste of what is to come for those who belong to Yahweh. But is this anthem one that our ears are tuned to? Is Yahweh’s salvation anthem the theme song of our lives? Pastor Sean is preaching from Genesis 31:22-55. Originally recorded March 27, 2022.

Pastor Sean preaches from Genesis 30:25-31:21. At some point in the life of a Christian, or in the life of a church, God’s people will find themselves looking around in despair or anger at this never ceasing conundrum: wicked people prosper. In this episode in Jacob’s life, after 20 years of woe at the hands of his uncle Laban, we can confidently say that the wicked will not proposer forever. God will curse those who curse us and bless us in the process. Originally recorded live at HBC on Sunday, March 20, 2022.

Pastor Sean preaches from Genesis 29:36-30:24. There’s no doubt: this is an ugly portion of Scripture. Really ugly. There is envy, bitterness, anger, rivalry, superstition, and sexual sin. Yet what’s most shocking isn’t the scandalous sin but the stunning grace. Sin abounds here, but grace abounds all the more. Originally recorded Sunday, March 6, 2022.
