This is the final message in our worship series, “Growing Into God’s Purpose.” We’re reflecting the story of Jacob as we consider how God helps us grow into the mission that he’s given us.

This week we’ll be looking at the conclusion Jacob’s story in Genesis 33 and consider how Christ gives us the hope of reconciliation, even in the most impossible of circumstances.

Rev. Read will be on vacation and study leave for the next two Sundays, so our next posted sermon will go up on Tuesday December 5th.

Sermon for Sunday October 22, 2023

This is the first message in our new worship series, “Growing Into God’s Purpose.” It’s often said in church circles that “God doesn’t call the qualified, he qualifies the called.” We’re going to spend a few weeks exploring this idea by working through the story of Jacob in Genesis 25-35.

This week we’ll be looking at the start of Jacob’s story in Genesis 25 & 27, and reflect on how there’s good news in the fact that he seems like last person God would choose to be a part of his mission to bless the world.
