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!

The Law of Sowing and reaping has come home to Jacob. What comes around, goes around!
God appears to Jacob at a place called Bethel and repeats his promise to bless him with a place, a people, a program, his presence and protection. Jacob deserves none of this. But we discover that grace surprises, offends, overflows and impresses. It is designed to elicit a life of worshipful devotion.
