Senior Pastor
In our next passage, Jacob foolishly moves his family to the Canaanite town of Shechem. After their sister Diana is violated, the brothers take matters into their own hands, bringing yet another threat to the well being of God’s people.
After 20 years of absence from his homeland, Jacob finally faces his brother Esau. The last time they were together Esau threatened to murder Jacob for cheating him out of his birthright. Jacob has received word that Esau is coming with 400 men. Will this meeting be defined by revenge or reconciliation? This week we will finally find out!

Who or what is ultimately responsible for our success? It is rooted in our efforts, our intellect, our wisdom, or is it due to something else? Pastor Doug uses the next passage of Jacob’s life to answer this question.
Jacob finally breaks free from his servitude to Laban, abruptly and secretly leaving with his family and livestock. Laban is furious! From this episode we see that God sometimes intervenes to protect his people. We also learn how to and how not to live in peace with others!

In this portion of our study, Jacob makes his way from his home in Beersheba to Haran where his uncle Laban lives. Jacob lives with his uncle and ends up marrying two of his daughters–Leah and Rachel. But these marriages are ironically brought about through deception. Jacob the deceiver is deceived himself. The Law of Sowing and reaping has come home to Jacob. What comes around, goes around!
