We are living through intense division in our society. But the problem of division is not unique to our time. The first book of the Bible, Genesis, is filled with division. In this sermon series, “Jacob: God's Hope for a Divided People," we will study the story of Jacob (Genesis 25-48) to consider the great hope God gives us for redemption and reconciliation across seemingly irreconcilable differences.

Looking for fresh ways to cultivate critical thinking and reflection in your classroom? Tune in to hear Heather talk with three TeachBeyond educators about the value of critical thinking, examples from their classrooms, and practical steps to get started. Cultivating a Culture of Critical Thinking by Diane Peneycad Cultivating a Culture of Reflection by Leighton Helwig “Simply put, critical thinking is what your brain does with facts and information.” - Diane “Critical thinking is such an essential part of our image-bearing nature. This is a great privilege we have. We don't live by instinct like animals, but we get to image God.” - Jacob “If we can eat and drink to the glory of God, we can also think to the glory of God.” - Jacob “We do want students to ask questions, but we don't want them to be cynical in an unhealthy way, so I think there's a good balance to have a teachable attitude.” - Jacob “There has to be a balance of responsibility to content and objectives and what's required for us to teach, while still offering an environment or opportunity for the questioning and the thinking. I think if I would err on the side of one or the other, I would err on the side of thinking and equipping for future consumption of content.” - Leighton “There are times we're going to go really deep, and there are times when it may not, but we can still engage them in the thinking process at various levels… Students need time at various levels of thinking throughout their day and throughout their courses.” - Diane “You need to create an environment that's a safe environment, that they understand that we're going to be thinking and there may not be one right answer.” - Diane Project Zero's Thinking Routines Toolbox “Modeling is super important. We bring our own transformed life into the classroom.” - Diane “The best-case scenario is when students choose to use [a tool] on their own for their own learning. That's how you know it's been embedded in the way that they are thinking.” - Leighton “Never say what a kid can say. In other words, I need to create the environment where I'm asking the right question that the student is then going to frame the response.” - Diane “It's okay to disagree, but how do we do so respectfully? How do we honor each other as image bearers of Christ?” - Diane “What makes you say that?” - Diane “I think it's really important for teachers to be willing to seize those teachable moments.” - Jacob “God created our minds to think. If we're not creating environments to have that happen, then we're not allowing the full potential of what God has created in our classroom.” - Leighton “As you develop a school-wide culture of thinking, it just becomes a way of life for teachers and students.” - Diane “To be able to go to that deep place of thought, we have to rest. We have to rest to reflect.” - Jacob Sign up to receive TeachBeyond's OnPractice publication here!

Going Through the Motions - Right Thinking: What Is Your Name? (Genesis 32:27) God is not suddenly forgetful. It's not like he doesn't know who this is. This is God calling upon Jacob to remember who he is. He is Jacob. Deceiver. Grasper. Out of control, but always trying to work the angle. But God gives him a new name: Israel, God fights. This had to be mind-blowing to Jacob - God fights? Is it that God fights against him? No, not really - it is that God fights for him. Jacob declared, "I will not let you go until you bless me" - only to discover that it is God who will not let him go. God will not abandon his promise. His word is sure. This question is all about identity. The ONLY ONE who gets to tell us who we are - is God and God alone. I am not my sin I am not my struggle. I am not my failure. I am His.

Hey friend! Have you ever wondered if your past is too much for God to use you? What can He do with all of the ways we struggle? Have you ever bargained or wrestled with God?  One of my favorite guests (and fan-favorite!) Max Lucado is here to talk with us about it all today.  Called “America's Pastor” by Christianity Today, Max is the bestselling author of 45 books and counting. He is a pastor and speaker who says he “writes books for people who don't read books.” Max is a father of three, grandfather of two, and he lives with his wife in San Antonio.  In his newest book, God Never Gives Up on You: What Jacob's Story Teaches Us About Grace, Mercy, and God's Relentless Love, Max examines the life of Jacob in Scripture, how God loved and pursued Jacob, and what that means for us.  Join Max and I for a great conversation as we talk about:  Where he gets his  book ideas Why there aren't as many books about Jacob as there are about biblical heroes like Daniel and David How to discern when our understanding of God has become too small Why Max connects with and treasures the story of Jacob God's faithfulness to his people, no matter what You'll also love hearing my chat with Max about how to have hope in a divided world. Check it out here. Favorite quotes: “In the story of Jacob he is hot and cold, in and out, weak, and then he's strong. He has dreams and then he wrestles with God. Then he falls and flops. It is every person's story.” “Jacob's relationship is a transactional relationship with God. You do this. I'll do that. That really strikes home with many of us.” “All of us go through some negotiation or transactional relationship with God.” “It is okay to wrestle with these things. Ultimately there is one authority and it is not you or me.” “Be kind to yourself. God hasn't given up on you. Don't give up on yourself.” Coaching this week:  Three truths about business you won't find anywhere else on the internet.  (31:40) Links to great things we discussed:  Max Lucado Website God Never Gives Up on You: What Jacob's Story Teaches Us About Grace, Mercy, and God's Relentless Love These Days - Jackson Browne The Chosen 1883 1923 PXG Golf Irons The Wino and I Know - Jimmy Buffett Migration - Jimmy Buffett The Coach School The Coach School Instagram 3 Secrets to Become a Successful Coach Order your copy of Remaining You While Raising Them here.

Ok, friends, let's just start with this... there's some really hard stuff found in Genesis 34-36. This one actually comes with a trigger warning as the subject of rape, abuse, and murder are all dealt with in Dinah's story, as found in Genesis 34.   However, as God often does, there is so much tenderness and steadfast love tucked in these chapters as well.   Reminders that Jacob's return to Bethel… to the place he had previously met with God – is also a valuable reminder to each of us to take time in our own lives to remember God's faithfulness to us in gratitude and worship… to keep looking for those reminders of God's faithfulness in our lives. The importance of returning to the places we previously met with God…where we saw His faithfulness… the importance of remembering.   Such a beautiful reminder for us all - even when we are unfaithful, God is faithful. Thank You, God.   So with that in mind, please be sure to listen in for all of this and much more in today's episode release of OOBT!   For the full episode show notes, please go to https://mfahring.com/genesis-34-36/.

Genesis 28:10-22 – Jacob God Builds a Man, shows us the lengths God goes through to build His leaders. Despite Jacob's God-fearing family, a relationship with God was not automatic. In this sermon we see how God reaches out individually to Jacob through a dream to establish a personal relationship with him. Jacob envisions a […] The post Genesis 28:10-22 – Jacob God Builds a Man appeared first on The Mission Church.

We are part of a very big story. Every single one of us who calls on Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior is a living stone. Every single one of us has a precious and important part to play in creating this spiritual house, this place where God dwells. I am living my life out as a piece of the dwelling place of God! I take my little piece everywhere I go. Everywhere you go, you bring a dwelling place of God with you. WHAT DOES IT SAY?Jacob's Dream at Bethel - Genesis 28:10-22:10 Jacob left Beersheba and set out for Harran. 11 When he reached a certain place, he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep. 12 He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. 13 There above it[a] stood the Lord, and he said: “I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying. 14 Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring.[b] 15 I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”16 When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” 17 He was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven.”18 Early the next morning, Jacob took the stone he had placed under his head and set it up as a pillar and poured oil on top of it. 19 He called that place Bethel,[c] though the city used to be called Luz.20 Then Jacob made a vow, saying, “If God will be with me and will watch over me on this journey I am taking and will give me food to eat and clothes to wear 21 so that I return safely to my father's household, then the Lord[d] will be my God 22 and[e] this stone that I have set up as a pillar will be God's house, and of all that you give me I will give you a tenth.”Questions you might ask the text:1. What does the dream mean?2. Jacob receives the blessing?3. Do the stones matter?4. Call the place Bethel? Observations:1. Standard approach: humans quake with fear when God shows up2. Same blessing is again repeated--maybe we also need to hear things a lot to believe them, especially when they take faith.3. Gen 28:13-15: Sounds like a covenant4. Gen 28: 20-21: IF God is with me… Jacob is not totally sold?5. Gen 28:22: Promised sanctuary, the stone is the consecration…WHAT IS THE BACKSTORY?1. Jacob's childhood and adolescence - he has swindled his brother out of this birthright AND blessing2. His father Isaac sends him away and confers God's blessing on him3. God then confirms the blessing through the dream.WHAT DOES IT MEAN?1. God is committed to making the earth his dwelling place.2. This story is linked to the bigger story of lineage in Genesis, which is linked to the BIGGER story of a coming king, which is the story of Jesus and the story of you and me.WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR ME?1. God is committed to dwelling with us.2. Are you committed to dwelling with him?3. Jacob's stone is a signpost pointing us toward the promised sanctuary in 1 Peter 2:4-6:4 As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him— 5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house[a] to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 For in Scripture it says:“See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone,and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame.” WANT MORE?

Text: Genesis 29:1-30 Speaker: Lance Williams Date: August 7, 2022

Pastor Marq Toombs continues our sermon series "The Promises" in Genesis 28. Jacob finds himself homeless, a fugitive, a wanderer. And what does that mean for us? Jacob is in his darkest season of life. He's lost everything and is hopeless. And this is where God meets with him. Maybe that's exactly where God will meet with you too.
