Genesis 28:1-29:27; Genesis 32:3-28; Hebrews 12:6-13

Summary

The life of Jacob and his interactions with God are examined.At each major point in his life, Jacob had to decide if he was going to obey God or not. Jacob seems to fight God at every turn, relying more on himself and on the plan he has for his own life, rather than on God's. These passages follow Jacob as he flees his homeland to find a wife and as he returns and confronts his brother after years of separation. Believers wrestle with God in similar ways and can learn personal applications from Jacob's life.
