Hope in the Will of God (Genesis 30:25-31:55)

One thing I ask from the Lord,    this only do I seek:that I may dwell in the house of the Lord    all the days of my life,to gaze on the beauty of the Lord    and to seek him in his temple.For in the day of trouble    he will keep me safe in his dwelling;he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent    and set me high upon a rock. Then my head will be exalted    above the enemies who surround me;at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy;    I…

The Birthing of the Nation of Israel (Genesis 29:31-30:24)

The Lord is compassionate and gracious,    slow to anger, abounding in love.He will not always accuse,    nor will he harbor his anger forever;he does not treat us as our sins deserve    or repay us according to our iniquities.For as high as the heavens are above the earth,    so great is his love for those who fear him;as far as the east is from the west,    so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

Learning Through Hard Knocks (Genesis 29:1-30)

In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.  And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says, “My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.” No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but…

Uplifting Grace (Genesis 27:41-28:22)

Where can I go from your Spirit?    Where can I flee from your presence?If I go up to the heavens, you are there;    if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.If I rise on the wings of the dawn,    if I settle on the far side of the sea,even there your hand will guide me,    your right hand will hold me fast. Psalm 139:7-10 Sermon Notes
