Genesis 28-29
Skip Heitzig
Genesis 28 (NKJV™) | |
1 | Then Isaac called Jacob and blessed him, and charged him, and said to him: "You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan. |
2 | "Arise, go to Padan Aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother's father; and take yourself a wife from there of the daughters of Laban your mother's brother. |
3 | "May God Almighty bless you, And make you fruitful and multiply you, That you may be an assembly of peoples; |
4 | And give you the blessing of Abraham, To you and your descendants with you, That you may inherit the land In which you are a stranger, Which God gave to Abraham." |
5 | So Isaac sent Jacob away, and he went to Padan Aram, to Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau. |
6 | Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Padan Aram to take himself a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, "You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan," |
7 | and that Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother and had gone to Padan Aram. |
8 | Also Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan did not please his father Isaac. |
9 | So Esau went to Ishmael and took Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham's son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife in addition to the wives he had. |
10 | Now Jacob went out from Beersheba and went toward Haran. |
11 | So he came to a certain place and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. And he took one of the stones of that place and put it at his head, and he lay down in that place to sleep. |
12 | Then he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. |
13 | And behold, the LORD stood above it and said: "I am the LORD God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and your descendants. |
14 | "Also your descendants shall be as the dust of the earth; you shall spread abroad to the west and the east, to the north and the south; and in you and in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed. |
15 | "Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you." |
16 | Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, "Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it." |
17 | And he was afraid and said, "How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!" |
18 | Then Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put at his head, set it up as a pillar, and poured oil on top of it. |
19 | And he called the name of that place Bethel; but the name of that city had been Luz previously. |
20 | Then Jacob made a vow, saying, "If God will be with me, and keep me in this way that I am going, and give me bread to eat and clothing to put on, |
21 | "so that I come back to my father's house in peace, then the LORD shall be my God. |
22 | "And this stone which I have set as a pillar shall be God's house, and of all that You give me I will surely give a tenth to You." |
Genesis 29 (NKJV™) | |
1 | So Jacob went on his journey and came to the land of the people of the East. |
2 | And he looked, and saw a well in the field; and behold, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks. A large stone was on the well's mouth. |
3 | Now all the flocks would be gathered there; and they would roll the stone from the well's mouth, water the sheep, and put the stone back in its place on the well's mouth. |
4 | And Jacob said to them, "My brethren, where are you from?" And they said, "We are from Haran." |
5 | Then he said to them, "Do you know Laban the son of Nahor?" And they said, "We know him." |
6 | So he said to them, "Is he well?" And they said, "He is well. And look, his daughter Rachel is coming with the sheep." |
7 | Then he said, "Look, it is still high day; it is not time for the cattle to be gathered together. Water the sheep, and go and feed them." |
8 | But they said, "We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together, and they have rolled the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep." |
9 | Now while he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she was a shepherdess. |
10 | And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went near and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother. |
11 | Then Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice and wept. |
12 | And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's relative and that he was Rebekah's son. So she ran and told her father. |
13 | Then it came to pass, when Laban heard the report about Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him and kissed him, and brought him to his house. So he told Laban all these things. |
14 | And Laban said to him, "Surely you are my bone and my flesh." And he stayed with him for a month. |
15 | Then Laban said to Jacob, "Because you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what should your wages be?" |
16 | Now Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. |
17 | Leah's eyes were delicate, but Rachel was beautiful of form and appearance. |
18 | Now Jacob loved Rachel; so he said, "I will serve you seven years for Rachel your younger daughter." |
19 | And Laban said, "It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me." |
20 | So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed only a few days to him because of the love he had for her. |
21 | Then Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her." |
22 | And Laban gathered together all the men of the place and made a feast. |
23 | Now it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter and brought her to Jacob; and he went in to her. |
24 | And Laban gave his maid Zilpah to his daughter Leah as a maid. |
25 | So it came to pass in the morning, that behold, it was Leah. And he said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? Was it not for Rachel that I served you? Why then have you deceived me?" |
26 | And Laban said, "It must not be done so in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn. |
27 | "Fulfill her week, and we will give you this one also for the service which you will serve with me still another seven years." |
28 | Then Jacob did so and fulfilled her week. So he gave him his daughter Rachel as wife also. |
29 | And Laban gave his maid Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as a maid. |
30 | Then Jacob also went in to Rachel, and he also loved Rachel more than Leah. And he served with Laban still another seven years. |
31 | When the LORD saw that Leah was unloved, He opened her womb; but Rachel was barren. |
32 | So Leah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben; for she said, "The LORD has surely looked on my affliction. Now therefore, my husband will love me." |
33 | Then she conceived again and bore a son, and said, "Because the LORD has heard that I am unloved, He has therefore given me this son also." And she called his name Simeon. |
34 | She conceived again and bore a son, and said, "Now this time my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons." Therefore his name was called Levi. |
35 | And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, "Now I will praise the LORD." Therefore she called his name Judah. Then she stopped bearing. |

Grace cannot be earned; as AW Tozer said, "As mercy is God's goodness confronting human misery and guilt, so grace is His goodness directed toward human debt and demerit." Though Jacob is not deserving of blessing, the grace of God was poured into his life. Though we may reap what we sow, God's grace is sufficient for us.
The book of Genesis is rich with theology including creation, the fall of man, and justification by grace through faith. Genesis, the book of beginnings, provides foundational truths from which we can learn who God is and how He operates in the lives of His people.
In this study of Genesis, Pastor Skip Heitzig presents an in-depth examination and fresh perspective of familiar stories like the creation, Adam & Eve, Noah and the Flood, the call of Abraham, and Sodom and Gomorrah. This series offers solid information to equip believers with truth in today's battle against the lies of evolution, the basic goodness of man, and a "fairy tale" approach to the Bible.

Info Message Summary Mankind is confused about the origin of man. Sadly, many of the world's most intelligent minds embrace the lie of evolution. But man did not accidentally evolve from primordial soup. We are God's crowning creation, a result of His intricate design. |

Genesis 3 Genesis 3 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the boastful pride of life are the oldest tricks in the book. Just as Satan deceived Eve into believing God was holding out on her, we too can be tempted to believe that what God has forbidden is the key to our fulfillment. Can God be trusted? In this message we learn that while the consequences of disobedience are disastrous, the Lord has a plan for our redemption. |

Genesis 4-5 Genesis 4-5 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary Though death was not God's original plan for His creation, through the sin of Adam, death entered the entire human race and has reigned ever since. As we explore the 1500 years of history covered in Chapters 5 and 6 of Genesis, the fruit of sin is evident. We'll discover that from the murder of Abel through the descendants of Cain, love of self ruled in the hearts of men, but those in Christ must rule over sin and let the love of God be our motivation. |

Info Message Summary When Jesus told His disciples about His second coming, He said, "But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be." In this message we'll examine the world conditions at the time of the flood and see how the world has fallen back to similar depravity. We'll also uncover exciting parallels between God's plan of salvation of Noah through the flood and His plan to deliver His children from the coming tribulation. |

Genesis 7-8 Genesis 7-8 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary After 120 years of diligent, obedient preparation for the coming deluge, Noah received God's invitation to board the ark. It must have been a difficult, yet exciting time for Noah and his family; the animals entered the enormous ship, the door was closed behind them, and the rain began to fall. Soon, floodwaters covered the entire planet, and eight souls and the animals on the ark were all that remained. Why is it important to understand the worldwide nature of the flood? How should this ancient cataclysm affect our lives and our view of the coming judgment? |

Info Message Summary Man is the crown of creation made in the image of God, but from the time of creation through the flood mankind was growing more and more corrupt. When Noah and his family stepped off the ark, God established human government and delivered four directives so that as society grew, it could function smoothly. |

Info Message Summary The listing of genealogies recorded in scripture is, at times, difficult. What is the significance of such a detailed account? How are we to apply this information to our lives? Through this meticulous record of the descendants of Noah, God demonstrates His interest in people, His faithfulness to His promise, and His isolation of the people group through whom Messiah would come. |

Info Message Summary All of us make mistakes; we falter and fail in our relationships with the Lord and with others. Abram was no different, but by God's mercy he is the Father of them that believe. As we examine his life and the lives of those around him, we'll see that they encountered trials and temptations not so different from our own. Let's take a look at the differences between godly Abram and worldly Lot, and avoid the hazards of flirting with temptation. |

Info Message Summary It's a common problem; trusting our feelings rather than trusting the Lord. But feelings are misleading, and as we learn from Abram and Sarai, trying to help God fulfill His promises can be costly. Their spiritual detour from the will of God produced ramifications we are experiencing today. God is faithful however to fulfill His promises, His plan is perfect, and His will will be accomplished. |

Info Message Summary The topic of God's judgment makes some people squirm. Believing that God is loving, gracious, merciful and kind often comes easier than viewing Him as Judge. As we investigate the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah we'll come to terms with the necessity of His judgment. We'll also be reminded that God is in the business of redemption, and that He dealt with the sin of those who believe at the cross of Calvary. |

Info Message Summary As believers we are new creations in Christ, however, we still carry around our old nature; the battle between the spirit and the flesh is a struggle for all of us. As we consider the life of Abraham, we see him fall once again into a familiar sin. The consequences of his choices are damaging, hurting others and ruining his testimony before unbelievers. But as we'll see in our text, God is faithful, and causes all things to work together for good for those who love Him and who are called according to His purpose. |

Info Message Summary It can be challenging for us to line up our behavior with the teachings of Scripture. Biblical principles are often contrary to our human nature, and obedience can be uncomfortable. As we examine the profound testing of Abraham's faith, we must ask ourselves, "Am I willing to do what is difficult?" As we walk in obedience to the Lord, our faith is developed and our relationship with Him is strengthened. |

Abraham died full, not merely in quantity of years and physical blessings, but in satisfaction and relationship with the Lord. As we take a look at his final years and the legacy he left behind, we'll be reminded of what's really important in life, and be challenged to consider our own priorities and our spiritual birthright. |

In spite of the continuing battle between Jacob and Esau, and the deceptive habits that have been passed down for generations, the Lord's plan will not be thwarted. His ways are not our ways, and He causes all things to work together for good for those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose. |

Info Message Summary During the difficult days following 9-11, our country experienced a deeper sense of community and spiritual renewal. The tragedy served as a wakeup call; in spite of our prosperity, we are not immune to pain. Often, the Lord gets a hold of us in the midst of suffering; we may endure steady adversity so that we always depend on Him. Let's look again at the life of Jacob as he comes to another turning point on his spiritual journey where he learns that when he is weak, he is made strong. |

Joseph Looks A Lot Like Jesus Genesis 37 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary We've all been told that we look like someone else. Often members of the same family carry a strong resemblance to one another. Joseph reminds us of someone else: Jesus. As we explore their similarities, we'll be challenged with two crucial questions. How much do we resemble Jesus Christ? Do we look like our Heavenly Father? |

Info Message Summary The contrast between Joseph and his brothers is great. Nothing bad is recorded about Joseph, but his brothers' lives are a mess. Joseph was faithful; his brothers were failures. Joseph had rock solid integrity; his brothers practiced wretched morality. Yet in the midst of it all, the Holy Spirit worked behind the scenes, using the most unlikely people to bring the Messiah into the world. |
