Chris Case and Sarah Pascual dive into Jacob’s messy middle: stolen blessing, the Bethel ladder, Leah & Rachel, baby wars, striped goats, and a tense break with Laban (plus those stolen household idols). They trace God’s sovereign thread through flawed people. In Luke, they contrast a forgiven “woman of the city” with a cautious Pharisee, spotlight the women funding Jesus’ ministry, unpack the Parable of the Sower and lamp, and follow Jesus across the lake to calm a storm, free the Gerasene demoniac, heal a bleeding woman, raise Jairus’s daughter, send the Twelve, and feed 5,000. The through-line: the kingdom breaks in among the humble, and God provides more than enough. This week we talk through Genesis 27-31:55, Luke 7:36-9:17, and Psalm 78.
