The one

Last week the story being retold was that of Esau & Jacob and it finished where Jacob is sent away to his uncle.

Amazing how despite the families weaknesses, lies and deception, God is there.

In this weeks story we continue with Jacobs story, his passion for one woman and his relationships with several.

What can we learn from this ?

What does the bible have to say about being married to the wrong person ?

Sibling rivalry

Continuing with the book of Genesis .....this week with a story about parental favouritism, blessings, deals, deception and a family being torn apart.

Soulmates ?

What a strange world the Old Testament seems at times.

Last week we thought about God asking someone to sacrifice their child. This week it's someone finding a bride for their son (not their daughter, mind you - how odd...).

Does this really have much to say to us in our modern world where we marry the person we 'fall in love' with?
