Pastor Dave explorers 5 chapters of Genesis 28-32.
Jacob’s journey in Genesis 28–32 traces his transformation from deceiver to Israel. Fleeing after his deceit, he encounters God at Bethel, where divine pursuit—not human merit—shapes his destiny (“God does not wait for us to find Him…”). Through twenty hard years under Laban, Jacob is disciplined and reshaped. God commands him to return home, protecting him from Laban. At the Jabbok, Jacob wrestles through the night, confessing his name and receiving a new identity. Wounded yet blessed, he meets Esau transformed. The narrative shows God pursuing, refining, and renaming flawed people for His purposes.
