Divine Providence of God
May 1, 2024 • Dale Jennings • Genesis 49:1–27
We want what is best for our children, don't we? The greatest desire we should have is that they would come to repentance of their sins and surrender their lives to the Lord Jesus. We teach, we love, we pray, and we probably shed some tears along the way as we ask God to work in their lives. As they grow up and mature, we have to let them learn the hard way sometimes and soon they will leave the nest and we have to trust in God's divine providence in their lives. Join us as Jacob, on his deathbed, prepares his sons for the future that is ahead for them and the divine providence of God in their lives.
From Regret to Blessing
April 24, 2024 • Tim Miller • Genesis 48
Our lives are filled with regrets. The older we grow, the more our regrets mount—mistakes, sinful choices, unforeseen tragedies, sickness, loss, toil, and death. Looking back on our lives can be a painful and sorrowful endeavor. But there is a way to find joy and peace in the remembrance of our past and bright hope for our future. Join us night as old Jacob’s life in this world comes to a fitting close, and he shows us the path from regret to blessing.
Reunited
April 10, 2024 • Dale Jennings • Genesis 46
Jacob has learned that Joseph, his son who he thought was dead, is alive! Now, Jacob and the whole family are heading down to Egypt. Great joy came into Jacob's heart when he learned this about his son. Just think of the celebration that is going to take place as Father and Son are reunited. Join us as we look at this glorious reunion in the lives of both Jacob and Joseph!
Forgiveness and Reconciliation
April 3, 2024 • Tim Miller • Genesis 45
As we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus today, we should remember that one of the purposes of His resurrection is reconciliation. He died and rose again so that we who were enemies of God might be forgiven and restored to fellowship with Him. Now, God has given us the ministry of reconciliation. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. Today, we will look to Joseph once again to learn how faith in the mercy and grace of God enables us to be people of forgiveness and reconciliation.
Mercy Abounds
March 20, 2024 • Dale Jennings • Genesis 43
God's mercy is constantly extended to everyone. In Scripture his mercy is described as, abounding, meaning it is overflowing from the very essence of God's character. Are you, are we responding to God's mercy to where it completely changes our life? Join us and we see how God's abounding mercy changes lives!
Remember Me?
February 7, 2024 • Dale Jennings • Genesis 40
As we go through trials in this life, there may be times that we feel so alone or overwhelmed and we ask the Lord, "Lord! Are you there? Do you remember me?" It could be that Jesus can ask the same thing to us, "Remember me?" And then say, "I've never left, I've been here the whole time!" Join us as we see even in our darkest times the Lord never leaves us nor forsakes us!
Overcoming Temptation
January 31, 2024 • Genesis 39
Let’s face it, we have all given in to temptation more times than we’d like to admit, but that doesn’t mean we should lose hope or give up the fight. Join us Wednesday as we learn how our faithful God gives us the power and ability to overcome temptation.
The Cascading Effects of Sin
January 17, 2024 • Dale Jennings • Genesis 37
Join us now as we start a new study called, The Faithfulness of God, The Life of Joseph. We will see how one sinful thought can cause our lives to cascade into thinking thoughts or even committing acts we thought we otherwise may have never done.
A Changed Life
June 28, 2023 • Dale Jennings • Genesis 35—36
God calls us to live a sanctified, holy life set apart from the world. This is definitely a process that takes time in our lives. It all begins with being obedient to the Lord and his commands. Jacob's life was like a roller coaster in his relationship with the Lord, up and down, up and down. You know what! That can be us too! Join us as we see how Jacob's life has changed and we too can learn how to truly have, A Changed Life because of being obedient to the Lord.
The Consequences of Complacency
June 21, 2023 • Tim Miller • Genesis 34
Jacob has finally made it back to the promised land. What a relief! That means he can settle in and grow complacent in his faith, right? Wrong! He was just as much in need of God’s grace in the land of promise as he was in Laban’s household or in his encounter with his brother, Esau. Join us as we learn the hard lessons of what can happen when we stop relying on the Lord and slip into spiritual complacency.
Fear Not, For I Am With You
May 31, 2023 • Dale Jennings • Genesis 32
Fear is a very strong emotion! We would be lying if any of us said that we have never felt fear in our lives. Fear can affect us in one of two ways. It can either paralyze us to the point we can barely function, or it can drive us to seek God and lean into him as we understand God is sovereign over all our circumstances, and we really don't have control over much of anything. Join us as we learn what God teaches us so many times in Scripture, Fear Not, for I am with you!
Family Feud
May 24, 2023 • Tim Miller • Genesis 31
Jacob spent twenty years as a servant in the household of Laban being manipulated and mistreated. It was now finally time for him to leave and return to the land God had promised him, but Laban would not let Jacob go without a fight. Join us as this family feud reaches its climax and Laban pursues Jacob through the hills. Buckle up for this one. It’s going to be a wild ride.
God, The Provider of All Blessings
May 10, 2023 • Dale Jennings • Genesis 29:31—30:24
From God whom all blessings flow! All blessings come from God. Even in spite of ourselves, God does work to show us his faithfulness and the need to trust in his sovereignty. Join us as we continue to look at how God takes our mess and still brings it that his glory is revealed!
Deceiver Deceived
May 3, 2023 • Tim Miller • Genesis 29:1–30
What goes around, comes around. Jacob had deceived his father, and he would very soon learn what it feels like to be on the receiving end of deceit. Join us as we watch the deceiver get deceived and seek to learn how we can graciously walk in the truth in the midst of a world of lies.
