In this Wednesday night Genesis class, Carl Dennis walks through one of the most troubling chapters in the Bible — the story of Dinah's assault, her brothers' deception and violent retaliation, and a father's misplaced concern for his own reputation. Throughout Genesis 34, not a single person seeks God's guidance, and the consequences ripple through generations, ultimately affecting who receives the firstborn blessing in Genesis 49. But the story doesn't end there. In Genesis 35:1–7, God breaks the silence with a powerful course correction, calling Jacob back to Bethel — back to the place where God first revealed Himself. This teaching explores what happens when God's people act on their own impulses rather than seeking His counsel, and the hope that comes when we finally turn back to Him. No matter how far off course we've gone, God remains faithful to His covenant and ready to restore those who return to Him.
