Podcasts about genesis 28

Welcome to I Love to Tell the Story, a podcast on the narrative lectionary! In this episode for September 21, 2025, hosts Rolf Jacobson, Kathryn Schifferdecker, and Karoline Lewis dive deep into the complex story of Jacob stealing his brother Esau's blessing with the help of his mother Rebecca. This episode explores the third week of the narrative lectionary cycle, examining one of the most morally complex stories in Genesis.  Our hosts discuss: * The dysfunctional family dynamics in Genesis and what they reveal about humanity * Jacob as a "trickster" figure and the consequences of deception * The theological significance of God meeting Jacob at Bethel when he had nothing but a stone for a pillow * How this Old Testament story connects to John 1:50-51 and Jesus as the place where heaven and earth meet * The contrast between trying to "box God in" versus recognizing God's presence in daily life The conversation reveals how these ancient stories continue to speak truth about both God's character and human nature, showing how God works with and through flawed people throughout salvation history.

We all experience “dark nights,” seasons in our lives when circumstances leave us feeling vulnerable and unsure about the future. Can you look back and remember an encounter with God in a difficult season that changed you - a moment so monumental it shook you to the core of your being and left you a different person? Or maybe that's what you need today. In Genesis 28:10-22, after all the manipulation and deceit to get his father's blessing, Jacob is running for his life and uncertain about his future. How is an unexpected encounter with God in the dark night of his life the beginning of something new? And what does it mean for the dark night of our lives today?

Daniels speaks on "Presence of God". The Bible reading is Genesis 20:10-15 © 2017 by Holman Bible Publishers.

In Genesis 28:10-22 Jacob has a vision of a ladder whose top reaches to heaven. It is a vision of heaven itself and shows that God is gracious to Jacob despite his sins. The question that hangs over entire narrative is whether or not God will be the God of Jacob. Here we get the beginning of the answer: yes, by His grace.

In Depth - Joe Focht

In Genesis 28, we see Jacob's departure from Canaan as he heads to Haran to find a wife. On his journey, he stops to rest and has a vision of the heavens. In this dream, there is a vision of angels ascending and descending on a ladder. When we read this with New Testament eyes, we know that Christ is the ladder. We hope this message blesses you in the Lord. Originally June 30th, 2025. Hank Atchison. Covenant Church. Tuscaloosa, AL.

What if the presence of God has been with you all along—you just haven't noticed? In this message from Genesis 28, Pastor Daniel Edwards unpacks Jacob's life-changing realization: “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” God's presence isn't something we strive to achieve—it's already here, right where we are. Discover how to shift from striving to awareness and learn what it means to encounter the God who comes to us, not the other way around.

Genesis 28 pt3 - Don't Be An Esau by Ray Jensen

Don't be an Esau.

Part of the A Land of Milk & Honey – Abraham to David series. Sermon by Pastor Nathan Alley The post Bethel – Genesis 28:10-22 first appeared on Applewood Community Church.

Summary: In our passage today, we read of one of e greatest accounts of grace and Jacob is on the run from his brother Esau for deceiving him and his father Issac regarding the family blessing; yet God shows up and pours grace out upon him.  We don't understand grace and that's the point, for if we could, it wouldn't be grace. We can only stand on the promise of grace, and receive it, though never fully understanding it. Maybe you need some grace, or need to give some grace, join us God pours out His grace.

Discover Jacob's incredible journey from a scheming scoundrel to a changed man. Witness his divine dream of a stairway to heaven, where God bestows the Abrahamic covenant and personal promises. Learn how Jacob's encounter reveals God's unmerited favor and a call to trust in His provision, transforming his life at Bethel.For the study resources and manuscript go to VBVF.ORG

In his last sermon at Citylight Lincoln before moving to be the Salt Director at Citylight Kearney, Chaten Edgrin takes us through Genesis 28 and Jacob's vision of the ladder to Heaven

Jacob is on the run. From Esau's fury, but also from the consequences of deceit and dysfunction. He is charged by Isaac to find a wife and preserve the covenant line. Although Jacob leaves behind the land of promise, he is accompanied by the God of promise. He stops for the night with nothing but a stone for a pillow. In the middle of nowhere, heaven opens. A ladder appears with angels ascending and descending. And the LORD Himself appears—not with wrath, but with a reaffirmation of the promises made to Abraham and Isaac.  The Rev. Jacob Hercamp, pastor of Christ Lutheran Church in Noblesville, IN, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Genesis 28.  To learn more about Christ Lutheran Church, visit www.clc-in.org.

When you're going through pain, confusion, or silence—it can feel like God is nowhere to be found. But in Genesis 28, Jacob had a dream, woke up, and said: “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” This devotional is for anyone who feels forgotten or overlooked by God in the middle of their trial. Just because you don't see Him working doesn't mean He's not there. His presence isn't always loud—but it is always faithful.
