Sermon 10/04/2015

A challenging sermon on the life and character of Jacob. It has been said that the life of Jacob represents the conflict of the two natures within the believer. Certainly crafty and deceitful, we must also keep in mind that Jacob was chosen by God to carry out His purpose. 

For much of his life, Jacob was not where God wanted him to be. Nevertheless, God showed such mercy towards Jacob and tenderly directed him back to the place where he should have been the entire time. 

We, as Christians, should grow closer to God and live a life worthy of the price that was paid for us. 

The good news is that there is always a way back to God.
