Ep 46. Prepisode for Genesis 29-33: Jacob Meets His Match (Women's Bible Study)

We tackle five chapters of Genesis this week in our Women's Bible Study as we begin to look in earnest at the life of Jacob after he receives his first visit from the LORD. You'll see this week that Jacob meets his match in his manipulative father-in-law...and he doesn't like being treated that way. It's almost like he's looking in a mirror. 

While Jacob's childhood was marked by parents playing favorites, his marriage bears an uncanny familiarity when he favors one wife over another. 

Even through Jacob's missteps and his manipulating father-in-law, we see the LORD faithfully working to bring about his promises: Jacob is blessed with 12 sons (and at least one daughter!!), he is prospered in spite of his superstitious animal husbandry, and he is reunited with this brother who was out to get him the last time we saw him. How will that reunion go?

All five chapters have a reading time of about 18 minutes...your coffee won't even get cold!!
