With God: In The Beginning - Jacob [6]

Author: Christ Community, an Evangelical Free Church February 8, 2026 Duration: 44:56

Genesis 21-28 // Paul Brandes

This sermon covers the critical transition in the patriarchal narrative from Genesis 21 through 28. We witness the birth of Isaac, the fulfillment of God’s long-standing promise, and the difficult testing of Abraham’s faith on Mount Moriah. As the story shifts to the next generation, we see the search for Rebekah, the birth of the twins Jacob and Esau, and the dramatic conflict over the birthright and the blessing. This study emphasizes that God’s plan continues through imperfect families and that His sovereign choice remains the driving force behind the history of redemption.
