October 26, 2025 - Genesis 28 - The Blessing of Jacob by Quentin Whitford
Pastor Brian Goke preaching
Blake Randolph continues our sermon in Genesis with Jacobs dream from God at Bethel
“Bless” is a word often used and rarely defined. Therefore, we want to try to study some of God's blessings in Genesis. At the beginning, God blesses creatures with the capacity to flourish— to be fruitful, to multiply, and to abound. Every time we see life spreading and thriving in creation, it's a sign of God's blessing at work. Humans were given an additional blessing: responsibility over the earth. God invited humanity to be partners in extending blessing everywhere. Sometimes humans get it wrong and the blessing is distorted. In this series, we'll explore Genesis through the lens of blessing—what it means for us, and how we are called to live as participants in God's blessing to the world. This week we talk about how sometimes we bargain for blessing.Support the show

Pastor Adam continues in Genesis 28–29, looking at Jacob's dream of a stairway to heaven. This passage shows us how God reaches down to us, reaffirms His promises, and points forward to Jesus as the true connection between heaven and earth.We'll explore what it means to trust God, not only with our lives but also with our giving.

Common Tables September 21, 2025 sermon. Ordinary Time - Genesis 28:10-22 // Changing Journey w/Drew Willson.We look through the lens of Jacob's story in Genesis 28 to consider how we change. We live in a time of polarized, partisan, even petrified perspectives. How might we draw on a different dream of this world? How might we be freed to breathe, move, and change?

Over the breadth of Scripture, humanity encounters God, not only in the bright light of day, but when the shadows fall, and the world becomes still. At night, God keeps close, and we will not be left alone.

One of the great catalysts for faith and growth in Christ is personal experience with God. Consider Paul on the Damascus Rd. (Acts 9), Isaiah's vision of God seated on His throne (Isaiah 6), Joshua's call to lead (Joshua 1), Moses and the burning bush (Exodus 3), and God appearing to Abraham (Genesis 12), Isaac (Genesis 26) and in this chapter Jacob. And God wants you to experience Him!

Jesus Christ: The Ladder to Heaven Genesis 28:10-22 Speaker: Weston Brown Series: Genesis More info @ covenantshreveport.org When Jacob hit rock bottom—alone, guilty, and on the run—God showed up in the wilderness with a vision that changed everything. In Genesis 28, we see a God who meets us at our lowest, reveals His presence and promises, and points us to Christ, the true ladder between heaven and earth. If you've ever felt lost, restless, or weighed down by guilt, this passage reminds us that God's grace meets us right where we are and calls us to respond in worship and trust.
Jacob came from a dysfunctional family and created a dysfunctional family of his own. How can God's grace redeem broken families and broken stories? In this message, Conner Dill, part of Thrive Harbor, unpacks how God's grace meets Jacob, his wives, and his children.
Jacob, the man who outschemes everyone, finally meets his match in his conniving father-in-law, Laban. Tricked into an unwanted marriage, Jacob learns that even when his plans fall apart, God's plans never fail. This message was given by Ken Templeton, interim pastor at Gig Harbor Foursquare.
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?

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.
