In Genesis 31, Jacob flees from Laban by returning to the land of Canaan. Jacob begins his own exodus-like experience and through it all his faith continues to mature as he recognizes all the ways God has been faithful to his covenant. This text reminds us that every believer also experiences a New Exodus as we journey our way home to heaven and we must remember our identity as spiritual-pilgrims. We walk through this text in three parts: 1) The Procession to Canaan, 2) The Pursuit of Laban, and 3) The Protection of the LORD.

In Genesis 29.31 - Genesis 30, we find that sin has plagued Jacob’s household. And yet, through all the mess, God continues to prove that he is trustworthy and faithful to his covenant promises. We walk through this story in two main parts: 1) the multiplication of Jacob’s offspring and 2) the multiplication of Jacob’s possessions.

In Genesis 29.1-30, we find one of the most humiliating moments in the life of Jacob. And yet God sovereignly providentially works through this situation to both humble Jacob and to continue his plan to bring messiah into the world through his unwanted bride, Leah. So that ultimately, Jacob's humiliation points us forward to the humiliation of Christ. We walk through this story in two parts: 1) Jacob meets Rachel and Laban (1-14) and 2) Jacob marries Rachel and Leah (15-30).
