God Revives His People

Cary Cox, from Genesis 35:1-15. In spite of Jacob’s fears and failures, God revives him through his word! Jacob shows us in this passage what spiritual leadership looks like. He proclaims God’s word to his household and leads them in repentance and preparation for worship!

Jacob Faces Esau

Cary Cox, from Genesis 32 and 33. As Jacob prepares to reunite with his brother, Esau, God continues to both bless and break Jacob. God is teaching him to lean on God in faith, rather than self-reliance. This is the heart of Christian discipleship. Not us, but Christ in us!
