Genesis 21-28 // Nathan MillerThis sermon covers the critical transition in the patriarchal narrative from Genesis 21 through 28. We witness the birth of Isaac, the fulfillment of God's long-standing promise, and the difficult testing of Abraham's faith on Mount Moriah. As the story shifts to the next generation, we see the search for Rebekah, the birth of the twins Jacob and Esau, and the dramatic conflict over the birthright and the blessing. This study emphasizes that God's plan continues through imperfect families and that His sovereign choice remains the driving force behind the history of redemption.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2542/responses/new26.02.08

In Genesis 28, we find Jacob running from the consequences of his deceitful actions. Through this chapter, we are reminded that God is not deterred by our circumstances or mistakes. Join us as Pastor Phil Moser unpacks this story in our series, "One Story: The God Who Draws Near."
Sermon preached by Peter Anderson on Sunday, January 25, 2026.
Have you ever fallen in love with the place of God but missed the presence of God? In Genesis 28, Jacob encounters the Lord at Bethel, a holy moment that reveals how easy it is to be captivated by the experience rather than transformed by the One who meets us there. In this message, Pastor Nate challenges us to look beyond sacred spaces and familiar moments, and seek the face of God Himself.--Sermon by Pastor Nate Click--New to Heritage?

In this message, Pastor Andrew reflects on Genesis 28:10-22, highlighting how God meets us in our messes and extends His promises even when we feel undeserving. He recounts the story of Jacob, who, while fleeing from his troubled past, encounters God in a dream where he sees a ladder connecting heaven and earth. God reassures Jacob of His presence and promises, leading Jacob to respond with awe, worship, and a commitment to honor God. The key takeaway is that no matter how messy our lives may seem, God is always ready to step in and transform our circumstances.
Join us for an incredible journey through Genesis 28-29 as we explore Jacob's famous dream of the ladder to heaven, his encounter with God at Bethel, and his journey to find a wife. This sermon reveals powerful truths about the spiritual realm, angels among us, work ethic, and God's sovereignty even through deception and disappointment.Whether you're facing deception, disappointment, or difficult circumstances, this message will encourage you to trust God's plan and recognize His presence all around you.Bible Chapter References:Genesis 28:1-22Genesis 29:1-30Hebrews 13:1-2Daniel 2:21Romans 9

The story of Jacob is well-known to students of the Bible. What may not be as well known is why God would bless a man whose character, at first, was so clearly out of sorts with godliness. Today we'll learn about the path the Lord used to bring Jacob to a place of faith, trust and obedience. Join us in this face-paced look at Genesis 28, which also will skim Genesis 25, 26, & 27! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. When was there a time in your life where you consciously made a life decision in light of your standing as a member of God's people? What was the outcome of that decision? 2. Take a moment to evaluate your personal commitment to the kingdom of God. On a scale of 1 to 10, how committed are you to reflecting God's kingdom now and investing in God's kingdom to come? Why did you choose that number? 3. Why do you think that the Lord allowed Isaac and Rebekah to not be able to have children until later in life? What impact would this (or should this) have on the spiritual lessons they would teach their children? Did it? 4. How would you describe the family dynamics in Isaac's household? What kind of problems did their favoritism create? Who was responsible to rectify these problems? What are some possible reasons for why these problems weren't properly addressed? 5. In Genesis 25:23, what was the Lord's promise to Rebekah about the twins she was bearing? How is this promise important as the story of Jacob's life unfolds? 6. What were God's promises to Isaac in Genesis 26:3 and 4? How was this similar to the Lord's promises to Abraham? What would these promises also indicate about Isaac's role as the patriarch of his family? What would these promises mean for the role one of his sons would have over these future descendants? 7. In Genesis 25:27-34, why do you think Esau sold his birthright to Jacob? Was this a true "sale"? Was the birthright his to "sell" anyway? How does this set the tone for the unraveling of Esau's role as firstborn? 8. In Genesis 26:34-45, Esau marries two Hittite women. What significance might his marriage have on the direction of his leadership over the descendants of Abraham? 9. Esau didn't cherish his birthright because he didn't cherish God's promises. If he did, what would that have looked like in his life? What does it look like, in our world today, to cherish God's promises and live in light of them? Why is this sometimes difficult to do? 10. Although the study didn't address very much from Genesis 26, you have probably read it by now. As you reflect upon the events of Genesis 26, what do they show you about the quality of Isaac's faith? Why do you think his faith was like this? 11. The Bible often reminds us that although we are to walk in God's ways, it's not to curry His favor, but rather to glorify Him. Both Abraham and Isaac show us that God uses imperfect people. Why do you think that is? What encouragement does this give you if and when you struggle in your walk?

Are the benefits of God's covenant earned by performance—or secured by promise? This message reveals a powerful truth: God's covenant blessings are based on His faithfulness, not our performance. As we study Jacob's encounter at Bethel, we're invited to respond to God's mercy with awe, remembrance, surrender, and a life marked by trust and generosity.

In Genesis 28 Jacob flees the results of his sin, and receives an unexpected, undeserved gift of grace: a vision of a stairway (ladder) to heaven. The symbolism, meaning and theological significance of the ladder will be the main focus of this post.
God awakens us to His presence, not by changing where we are, but by changing what we see—so our lives are transformed in response. Listen to part 1 of our 2-week series, “Preparing for His Presence.”
