| 1 | Biographies | Jacob | (Jacob 01) Introduction | 6003 | God is going to war against self-sufficiency. Jacob's life is summarized in the birthright and the blessing. The birthright is "what God dumps on me"; the blessing (or covenant/promise) is what God gives through me, namely Christ. Jacob represents those who struggle to try to obtain what God had already promised. | Ed Miller | Jacob_01Intro_01.mp3 | Genesis 25 - 35; Hosea 12:3-5 | |||||||
| 2 | Biographies | Jacob | (Jacob 02) The Ladder | 6003 | Jacob's dream is a dream of the grace of God, a revelation that Jesus Christ is the Ladder. The blessing only comes through the Ladder--period. It's a terrible thing to walk away with a religious experience and the Lord Jesus. When I am self-sufficient, God will show me Jesus. | Ed Miller | Jacob_02TheLadder_01.mp3 | Genesis 28:10-22; John 1:43-51 | |||||||
| 3 | Biographies | Jacob | (Jacob 03) Laban | 6003 | God always does these two things when I walk away from the Ladder (Jesus Christ as all sufficient to bless) to bring me back. First He uses sowing and reaping to allow us to taste the harvest and begin to hate the bag of seeds. Second, as He allows us to taste the vanity of our own flesh, a works within a "divine homesickness" to return. | Ed Miller | Jacob_03Laban_01.mp3 | Genesis 29-31; Galatians 6:7-8 | |||||||
| 4 | Biographies | Jacob | (Jacob 04) Wrestling Match | 6003 | For 20 years God is trying to get Jacob back to Bethel again. The message at Peniel is the same as at Bethel; the Lord Jesus is the One who blesses, not depicted as a ladder but as a wrestler. When God fights He is fighting for you and giving the revelation of Christ that transforms you away from self-sufficiency! | Ed Miller | Jacob_04WrestlingMatch_01.mp3 | Genesis 32:22-32; Hosea 12:3-4 | |||||||
| 5 | Biographies | Jacob | (Jacob 05) Transformation | 6003 | What changes can you expect after you meet God face-to-face? Two things it doesn't mean, as evidenced by Jacob's checkered life, is that you life will be trouble free and changes happen overnight. 5 changes that are guaranteed include victory over the past (Esau), living a God-centered life, and an internal desire to be holy. Jacob persevered to the end, dying as a worshipper, leaning on the Lord! | Ed Miller | Jacob_05_01.mp3 | Genesis 33 - 48; Hebrews 11:21 |
