00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.000
 Amen. Thank you, Nathan.

00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:04.240
 All right, good morning, everyone.

00:00:05.560 --> 00:00:06.000
!

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:34.060
 When Abraham went to Egypt, there was a famine in the land.

00:00:34.859 --> 00:00:36.259
 Abraham didn't cause the famine.

00:00:36.460 --> 00:00:37.240
 It happened.

00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:41.780
 And obviously, it's all under the sovereignty, the providence of God,

00:00:42.120 --> 00:00:45.560
 but outside our control, even when it's under God's control.

00:00:46.980 --> 00:00:53.140
 Sometimes the messes we find ourselves in come because of what others do to us,

00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:55.659
 the mistakes, the sins other people commit.

00:00:56.439 --> 00:00:59.919
 Someone hurts us, betrays us, disappoints us,

00:01:00.699 --> 00:01:04.799
 just like when Abraham lied to Pharaoh, lied to Abimelech,

00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:08.219
 and they face the consequences of Abraham's actions.

00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:11.019
 But then there's other kinds of messes, too.

00:01:11.780 --> 00:01:15.799
 There are messes where we have to admit that we had a part to play in it.

00:01:16.500 --> 00:01:18.819
 It can come from a bad decision.

00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.400
 You're having an argument, loud conversation with your parents, let's say.

00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:27.820
 It's tense, emotions are high, you feel yourself getting upset,

00:01:27.980 --> 00:01:30.900
 and then out comes a few words, and you realize,

00:01:31.100 --> 00:01:34.340
 I've made this worse, I've made a mess of things, everything's on fire.

00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:35.500
 And who made this mess?

00:01:36.160 --> 00:01:37.400
 Well, you did.

00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:40.960
 Sometimes it's not just a split-second decision,

00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:45.780
 but a whole series of choices made over months, over years, a pattern.

00:01:46.080 --> 00:01:47.500
 You head off in the wrong direction,

00:01:48.080 --> 00:01:50.920
 and before you know it, you've gone farther than you imagined.

00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:53.400
 And now you're thinking, how did I get here?

00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:54.460
 What happened?

00:01:55.659 --> 00:01:57.519
 Sometimes life is hard because things happen.

00:01:57.659 --> 00:02:00.760
 Sometimes life is hard because someone sinned against us.

00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:03.420
 Sometimes it's because of our own foolish choices.

00:02:03.659 --> 00:02:05.799
 And often it's a mixture of all three of these things.

00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:07.840
 And whatever the cause,

00:02:08.620 --> 00:02:11.219
 sometimes we find ourselves looking around,

00:02:11.340 --> 00:02:13.400
 and we wonder, how did I end up here?

00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:19.819
 And that's the type of situation we find Jacob in, in Genesis 28.

00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:22.300
 We've been going through Genesis,

00:02:22.700 --> 00:02:26.159
 and last week we read how Jacob and Rebekah,

00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:29.599
 they schemed to get the blessing from Isaac.

00:02:30.040 --> 00:02:30.540
 They schemed.

00:02:31.379 --> 00:02:33.140
 And actually their plan worked.

00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:34.259
 Their plan worked.

00:02:34.379 --> 00:02:36.180
 Jacob got what he wanted.

00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:37.960
 He got the blessing he was after.

00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:41.700
 But now, his life is a mess.

00:02:42.540 --> 00:02:43.780
 His brother wants to kill him.

00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:46.100
 His twin brother, Esau, wants to kill him.

00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:48.200
 Jacob is now fleeing from his home,

00:02:48.540 --> 00:02:50.340
 leaving the land that God promised to give him.

00:02:51.260 --> 00:02:52.420
 He got the blessing,

00:02:52.540 --> 00:02:54.080
 but everything else is falling apart.

00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:57.240
 And here's the question as we read this chapter,

00:02:57.360 --> 00:02:57.980
 Genesis 28.

00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:00.960
 What does God do when we find ourselves

00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:03.260
 in the messes of life,

00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:05.240
 even the messes that we create for ourselves?

00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:07.580
 This is what we see in our text today,

00:03:07.900 --> 00:03:09.939
 that in the middle of Jacob's mess,

00:03:10.180 --> 00:03:13.219
 God comes, God reaches down to meet him.

00:03:13.340 --> 00:03:15.879
 God comes and finds him with grace.

00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:18.080
 And that's also the good news for us.

00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:20.580
 If we find ourselves in a low place today,

00:03:20.659 --> 00:03:22.180
 even if it's our own doing,

00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:23.540
 I want us to know,

00:03:24.500 --> 00:03:27.660
 God meets us in our mess with grace.

00:03:28.060 --> 00:03:28.920
 He is with you.

00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:31.360
 He will never leave you or forsake you.

00:03:31.640 --> 00:03:33.780
 He will do all that he has promised you

00:03:33.780 --> 00:03:35.599
 when we put our faith in Jesus.

00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:37.560
 So let's stand together

00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:40.159
 as we read from Genesis 28.

00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:41.740
 I mentioned faith comes by hearing.

00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:44.620
 We're going to play the audio recording,

00:03:44.740 --> 00:03:46.420
 actually, one of them from Genesis 28.

00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:49.920
 If you guys find it hard to read the Bible sometimes,

00:03:50.020 --> 00:03:53.420
 actually, I find listening can be good.

00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:54.780
 I was just on a run this week,

00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:56.080
 listened to all of Hebrews.

00:03:57.300 --> 00:03:59.039
 And yeah, it's just something good

00:03:59.039 --> 00:03:59.879
 you can play in the background.

00:03:59.879 --> 00:04:02.000
 So can you play that for us, please, Darren?

00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:04.439
 I'm going to play that for us, please, Darren.

00:04:04.620 --> 00:04:06.800
 Then Isaac called Jacob

00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:07.759
 and blessed him

00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:11.340
 and directed him

00:04:11.340 --> 00:04:13.879
 You must not take a wife

00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:15.219
 from the Canaanite women

00:04:15.219 --> 00:04:16.899
 Arise

00:04:16.899 --> 00:04:18.620
 to the house of Bethuel

00:04:18.620 --> 00:04:21.840
 your mother's father

00:04:21.840 --> 00:04:23.660
 and take it your wife

00:04:23.660 --> 00:04:24.280
 from there

00:04:24.280 --> 00:04:26.120
 one of the daughters of Laban

00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:27.620
 your mother's brother

00:04:27.620 --> 00:04:28.240
 God Almighty bless you

00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:30.500
 and make you fruitful

00:04:30.500 --> 00:04:31.860
 and make you fruitful

00:04:31.860 --> 00:04:34.160
 and multiply you

00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:35.439
 that you may become

00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:37.100
 a company of peoples

00:04:37.100 --> 00:04:38.140
 the blessing of Abraham

00:04:38.140 --> 00:04:39.820
 may he give the blessing

00:04:39.820 --> 00:04:41.400
 of Abraham to you

00:04:41.400 --> 00:04:43.060
 and to your offspring

00:04:43.060 --> 00:04:43.780
 with you

00:04:43.780 --> 00:04:45.860
 you may take possession

00:04:45.860 --> 00:04:46.600
 of the land

00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:47.939
 of your sojournings

00:04:47.939 --> 00:04:49.960
 that God gave to Abraham

00:04:49.960 --> 00:04:53.400
 Thus Isaac sent Jacob away

00:04:53.400 --> 00:04:55.439
 and he went to Paddan

00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:56.520
 to Laban

00:04:56.520 --> 00:04:57.700
 the son of Bethuel

00:04:57.700 --> 00:04:58.600
 the Aramean

00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:00.439
 the brother of Rebekah

00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:01.000
 Jacob's

00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:01.879
 Esau's father

00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:03.740
 Now Esau saw

00:05:03.740 --> 00:05:04.319
 that Isaac

00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:05.180
 had blessed Jacob

00:05:05.180 --> 00:05:06.139
 and sent him away

00:05:06.139 --> 00:05:06.740
 to Paddan

00:05:06.740 --> 00:05:08.139
 to take a wife

00:05:08.139 --> 00:05:10.300
 and that as he blessed him

00:05:10.300 --> 00:05:11.180
 he directed him

00:05:11.180 --> 00:05:13.420
 and that Jacob

00:05:13.420 --> 00:05:16.800
 had obeyed his father

00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:17.500
 and his mother

00:05:17.500 --> 00:05:18.399
 and gone to Paddan

00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:19.100
 So when Esau saw

00:05:19.100 --> 00:05:20.319
 that the Canaanite women

00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:24.060
 did not please Isaac

00:05:24.060 --> 00:05:24.600
 his father

00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:26.579
 Esau went to Ishmael

00:05:26.579 --> 00:05:27.819
 and took as his wife

00:05:27.819 --> 00:05:28.899
 besides the wives

00:05:28.899 --> 00:05:29.439
 he had

00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:30.540
 Mahalab

00:05:30.540 --> 00:05:32.000
 the daughter of Ishmael

00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:33.060
 Abraham's son

00:05:33.060 --> 00:05:34.700
 the sister of Nebeah

00:05:34.700 --> 00:05:35.540
 and went toward

00:05:35.540 --> 00:05:36.960
 Jacob left Beersheba

00:05:36.960 --> 00:05:38.260
 and went toward Harry

00:05:38.260 --> 00:05:40.819
 and he came to a certain place

00:05:40.819 --> 00:05:41.680
 and stayed there

00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:42.200
 that night

00:05:42.200 --> 00:05:43.620
 because the son had set

00:05:43.620 --> 00:05:45.580
 taking one of the stones

00:05:45.580 --> 00:05:46.240
 of the place

00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:47.960
 he put it under his head

00:05:47.960 --> 00:05:49.460
 and lay down in that place

00:05:49.460 --> 00:05:49.960
 to sleep

00:05:49.960 --> 00:05:51.259
 and he dreamed

00:05:51.259 --> 00:05:53.320
 and behold there was a ladder

00:05:53.320 --> 00:05:54.400
 set up on the earth

00:05:54.400 --> 00:05:55.759
 and the top of it

00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:56.540
 reached to heaven

00:05:56.540 --> 00:05:59.280
 the angels of God

00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:00.699
 were ascending and descended

00:06:00.699 --> 00:06:01.479
 and descended above it

00:06:01.479 --> 00:06:02.199
 and behold

00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:03.839
 the Lord stood above it

00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:04.339
 and said

00:06:04.339 --> 00:06:04.859
 Abraham

00:06:04.859 --> 00:06:05.939
 I am the Lord

00:06:05.939 --> 00:06:07.239
 and the God of Abraham

00:06:07.239 --> 00:06:07.919
 your father

00:06:07.919 --> 00:06:09.339
 and the God of Isaac

00:06:09.339 --> 00:06:10.159
 I will give to you

00:06:10.159 --> 00:06:11.559
 the land on which you lie

00:06:11.559 --> 00:06:12.679
 I will give to you

00:06:12.679 --> 00:06:13.799
 and to your offspring

00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:15.460
 your offspring

00:06:15.460 --> 00:06:16.639
 shall be like the dust

00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:17.120
 of the earth

00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:18.900
 and you shall spread abroad

00:06:18.900 --> 00:06:19.579
 to the west

00:06:19.579 --> 00:06:20.680
 and to the east

00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:21.720
 and to the north

00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:22.920
 and to the south

00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:24.480
 and in you

00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:25.360
 and your offspring

00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:26.580
 shall all the families

00:06:26.580 --> 00:06:27.120
 of the earth

00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:27.660
 be blessed

00:06:27.660 --> 00:06:29.100
 and behold

00:06:29.100 --> 00:06:30.519
 I am with you

00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:31.439
 and will keep you

00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:32.379
 wherever you go

00:06:32.379 --> 00:06:33.540
 and will bring you

00:06:33.540 --> 00:06:34.639
 back to this land

00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:36.400
 for I will not leave you

00:06:36.400 --> 00:06:37.259
 until I have done

00:06:37.259 --> 00:06:38.100
 what I have done

00:06:38.100 --> 00:06:39.520
 and I will not leave you

00:06:39.520 --> 00:06:40.300
 and Jacob awoke

00:06:40.300 --> 00:06:41.180
 from his sleep

00:06:41.180 --> 00:06:41.640
 and said

00:06:41.640 --> 00:06:43.220
 surely the Lord

00:06:43.220 --> 00:06:44.040
 is in this place

00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:45.020
 and I did not know it

00:06:45.020 --> 00:06:46.520
 and he was afraid

00:06:46.520 --> 00:06:47.340
 and said

00:06:47.340 --> 00:06:49.740
 how awesome is this place

00:06:49.740 --> 00:06:51.640
 this is none other than

00:06:51.640 --> 00:06:52.680
 the house of God

00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:54.660
 and this is the gate of heaven

00:06:54.660 --> 00:06:56.540
 so early in the morning

00:06:56.540 --> 00:06:57.920
 Jacob took the stone

00:06:57.920 --> 00:06:59.500
 that he had put under his head

00:06:59.500 --> 00:07:01.080
 and set it up for a pillar

00:07:01.080 --> 00:07:02.400
 and poured oil

00:07:02.400 --> 00:07:03.480
 on the top of it

00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:04.740
 he called the name

00:07:04.740 --> 00:07:05.980
 of that place Bethel

00:07:05.980 --> 00:07:07.660
 but the name of the city

00:07:07.660 --> 00:07:08.520
 was Lodipah

00:07:08.520 --> 00:07:09.080
 saying

00:07:09.080 --> 00:07:10.940
 then Jacob made a bow

00:07:10.940 --> 00:07:11.400
 saying

00:07:11.400 --> 00:07:13.340
 if God will be with me

00:07:13.340 --> 00:07:14.080
 and will keep me

00:07:14.080 --> 00:07:15.100
 in this way that I go

00:07:15.100 --> 00:07:16.379
 and will give me bread

00:07:16.379 --> 00:07:16.720
 to wear

00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:17.620
 clothing to wear

00:07:17.620 --> 00:07:19.080
 so that I come again

00:07:19.080 --> 00:07:19.980
 to my father's house

00:07:19.980 --> 00:07:20.620
 in peace

00:07:20.620 --> 00:07:22.040
 then the Lord

00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:23.000
 shall be my God

00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:24.240
 and this stone

00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:25.139
 which I have set up

00:07:25.139 --> 00:07:25.639
 for a pillar

00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:26.879
 shall be God's house

00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:29.180
 and of all that you give me

00:07:29.180 --> 00:07:30.660
 I will give a full team

00:07:30.660 --> 00:07:31.300
 alright this is the word

00:07:31.300 --> 00:07:31.680
 of the Lord

00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:33.379
 the fully dramatized version

00:07:33.379 --> 00:07:34.220
 yeah

00:07:34.220 --> 00:07:35.160
 please take a seat

00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:36.500
 and Lord

00:07:36.500 --> 00:07:38.199
 we trust that your word

00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:39.199
 is living and active

00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:40.519
 it cuts to our hearts

00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:41.699
 and we pray in faith

00:07:41.699 --> 00:07:42.540
 that you do that today

00:07:42.540 --> 00:07:43.660
 speak to us

00:07:43.660 --> 00:07:45.139
 just as you spoke

00:07:45.139 --> 00:07:45.780
 to Jacob

00:07:45.780 --> 00:07:46.960
 we pray in Jesus name

00:07:46.960 --> 00:07:47.420
 amen

00:07:47.420 --> 00:07:49.699
 and so what we read

00:07:49.699 --> 00:07:50.860
 what we listened to today

00:07:50.860 --> 00:07:52.519
 this is a famous story

00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:53.680
 Jacob's Ladder

00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:54.900
 the Lord

00:07:54.900 --> 00:07:55.959
 appeared to Jacob

00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:56.780
 in a strange dream

00:07:56.780 --> 00:07:57.759
 what does it all mean

00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:00.300
 before we look at the dream

00:08:00.300 --> 00:08:01.079
 I just want us

00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:02.079
 to take a step back

00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:04.060
 and see the situation

00:08:04.060 --> 00:08:05.160
 that Jacob's in

00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:07.180
 this whole family's

00:08:07.180 --> 00:08:07.680
 a mess

00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:08.620
 it's a mess

00:08:08.620 --> 00:08:10.300
 Isaac said to Jacob

00:08:10.300 --> 00:08:11.160
 in verse 1

00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:12.240
 he says

00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:13.720
 you must not take

00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:14.399
 a wife from the

00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:15.019
 Canaanite woman

00:08:15.019 --> 00:08:15.480
 arise

00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:16.639
 go to Paddan Aram

00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:17.860
 to the house of Bethuel

00:08:17.860 --> 00:08:18.680
 your mother's father

00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:20.160
 and take as your wife

00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:20.500
 from there

00:08:20.500 --> 00:08:21.280
 one of the daughters

00:08:21.280 --> 00:08:22.259
 of Laban

00:08:22.259 --> 00:08:23.659
 your mother's brother

00:08:23.659 --> 00:08:24.920
 and so yes

00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:25.839
 if you think about it

00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:27.959
 Isaac is sending Jacob off

00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:29.139
 to marry one of his cousins

00:08:29.139 --> 00:08:30.759
 and you might have some questions

00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:31.159
 about that

00:08:31.159 --> 00:08:32.220
 that's not our focus today

00:08:32.220 --> 00:08:33.059
 that was

00:08:33.059 --> 00:08:34.019
 that's odd to us

00:08:34.019 --> 00:08:34.860
 but that's

00:08:34.860 --> 00:08:36.740
 common in their culture

00:08:36.740 --> 00:08:38.919
 more important than that

00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:40.899
 is why Jacob is

00:08:40.899 --> 00:08:43.600
 why Isaac is sending Jacob off

00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:44.480
 in the first place

00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:46.279
 we read last week

00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:47.779
 Jacob and Rebecca

00:08:47.779 --> 00:08:49.079
 they worked together

00:08:49.079 --> 00:08:49.740
 they schemed

00:08:49.740 --> 00:08:50.819
 so that Jacob

00:08:50.819 --> 00:08:52.360
 would get Isaac's blessing

00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:53.539
 rather than

00:08:53.539 --> 00:08:55.259
 Jacob's older brother

00:08:55.259 --> 00:08:55.659
 Esau

00:08:55.659 --> 00:08:56.720
 and

00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:57.600
 now

00:08:57.600 --> 00:08:59.419
 to want the blessing

00:08:59.419 --> 00:09:00.740
 the blessing is actually

00:09:00.740 --> 00:09:01.399
 a good thing

00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:03.500
 it's great to be wanted

00:09:03.500 --> 00:09:04.679
 to be included

00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:05.620
 in this covenant

00:09:05.620 --> 00:09:06.699
 that the Lord

00:09:06.699 --> 00:09:07.819
 made with Abraham

00:09:07.819 --> 00:09:09.079
 we see in verse 4

00:09:09.079 --> 00:09:10.519
 that's what the blessing includes

00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:11.899
 may he give the blessing

00:09:11.899 --> 00:09:12.860
 of Abraham to you

00:09:12.860 --> 00:09:13.600
 and to your offspring

00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:14.079
 with you

00:09:14.079 --> 00:09:15.480
 that you may take possession

00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:16.340
 of the land

00:09:16.340 --> 00:09:17.200
 of your sojournings

00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:19.220
 that God gave to Abraham

00:09:19.220 --> 00:09:20.519
 it's good to want

00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:21.100
 this blessing

00:09:21.100 --> 00:09:22.440
 it's a good thing

00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:24.420
 the problem is

00:09:24.420 --> 00:09:25.420
 that

00:09:25.420 --> 00:09:26.759
 you can pursue

00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:28.100
 a good thing

00:09:28.100 --> 00:09:29.340
 the wrong way

00:09:29.340 --> 00:09:31.120
 they wanted to take

00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:31.600
 the blessing

00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:32.820
 that's good

00:09:32.820 --> 00:09:33.779
 but

00:09:33.779 --> 00:09:34.580
 they did it

00:09:34.580 --> 00:09:35.159
 by lying

00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:35.980
 scheming

00:09:35.980 --> 00:09:36.940
 manipulating

00:09:36.940 --> 00:09:38.800
 we read last week

00:09:38.800 --> 00:09:40.180
 Isaac was old

00:09:40.180 --> 00:09:41.500
 his eyesight

00:09:41.500 --> 00:09:43.720
 was failing

00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:44.720
 he thought

00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:45.540
 he was about to die

00:09:45.540 --> 00:09:46.080
 everyone thought

00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:46.740
 he was about to die

00:09:46.740 --> 00:09:47.580
 and he wanted to bless

00:09:47.580 --> 00:09:48.080
 his sons

00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:49.320
 one last time

00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:50.040
 before he died

00:09:50.040 --> 00:09:50.560
 he wanted to give

00:09:50.560 --> 00:09:51.960
 this final blessing

00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:52.980
 on his deathbed

00:09:52.980 --> 00:09:54.139
 to only

00:09:54.139 --> 00:09:55.100
 the older brother

00:09:55.100 --> 00:09:55.519
 Esau

00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:56.800
 but then

00:09:56.800 --> 00:09:57.940
 his wife

00:09:57.940 --> 00:09:58.340
 Rebecca

00:09:58.340 --> 00:09:59.800
 overheard this conversation

00:09:59.800 --> 00:10:00.379
 and came up

00:10:00.379 --> 00:10:00.899
 with a plan

00:10:00.899 --> 00:10:02.019
 she told Jacob

00:10:02.019 --> 00:10:02.320
 this

00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:02.800
 hey

00:10:02.800 --> 00:10:04.379
 pretend to be Esau

00:10:04.379 --> 00:10:05.399
 I'll cook food

00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:06.960
 you put on Esau's clothes

00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:07.560
 you dress up

00:10:07.560 --> 00:10:08.120
 like him

00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:09.320
 your dad is old

00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:10.660
 he's pretty much blind

00:10:10.660 --> 00:10:11.920
 he's about to die

00:10:11.920 --> 00:10:12.740
 we can trick dad

00:10:12.740 --> 00:10:14.299
 before he passes away

00:10:14.299 --> 00:10:14.899
 like

00:10:14.899 --> 00:10:16.519
 isn't that just messed up

00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:17.519
 that's what they did

00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:18.480
 they're tricking

00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:19.379
 their dying father

00:10:19.379 --> 00:10:21.799
 but it works actually

00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:23.480
 this plan actually works

00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:24.259
 or so it seems

00:10:24.259 --> 00:10:25.299
 Jacob

00:10:25.299 --> 00:10:26.460
 gets the blessing

00:10:26.460 --> 00:10:27.840
 but then

00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:28.779
 Esau finds out

00:10:28.779 --> 00:10:29.840
 and he's furious

00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:31.639
 Esau says to himself

00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:32.720
 hey

00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:33.639
 my dad's nearly dead

00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:34.419
 I'll wait for him

00:10:34.419 --> 00:10:35.100
 to die

00:10:35.100 --> 00:10:35.919
 so I don't cause him

00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:36.620
 any more pain

00:10:36.620 --> 00:10:37.740
 but after that

00:10:37.740 --> 00:10:38.360
 I'm gonna go

00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:39.180
 and kill my brother

00:10:39.180 --> 00:10:39.840
 I'm gonna kill

00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:40.879
 my younger twin brother

00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:42.720
 that's the situation

00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:43.519
 we're in

00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:44.940
 and that's why

00:10:44.940 --> 00:10:46.200
 Rebecca complained

00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:47.480
 about Esau's wives

00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:49.019
 so that Isaac

00:10:49.019 --> 00:10:50.040
 would go and send

00:10:50.040 --> 00:10:50.620
 Jacob off

00:10:50.620 --> 00:10:51.620
 to find a wife

00:10:51.620 --> 00:10:52.300
 somewhere else

00:10:52.300 --> 00:10:53.740
 away from his brother

00:10:53.740 --> 00:10:55.480
 he's complaining

00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:56.120
 about these wives

00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:56.560
 but really

00:10:56.560 --> 00:10:57.740
 it's part of her plan

00:10:57.740 --> 00:10:59.379
 to continue manipulating

00:10:59.379 --> 00:11:00.540
 continue controlling

00:11:00.540 --> 00:11:01.139
 the situation

00:11:01.139 --> 00:11:02.720
 and send Jacob off

00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:04.259
 so that Jacob

00:11:04.259 --> 00:11:04.779
 would be safe

00:11:04.779 --> 00:11:05.279
 from his brother

00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:06.519
 and so that's why

00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:07.279
 Isaac does that

00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:08.060
 in verse 1

00:11:08.060 --> 00:11:09.139
 he says to Jacob

00:11:09.139 --> 00:11:10.420
 you must not take a wife

00:11:10.419 --> 00:11:11.579
 from the Canaanite woman

00:11:11.579 --> 00:11:13.500
 so look at this mess

00:11:13.500 --> 00:11:14.299
 look at this whole mess

00:11:14.299 --> 00:11:16.419
 Rebecca's plan works

00:11:16.419 --> 00:11:17.799
 but she has to send

00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:18.719
 away the son

00:11:18.719 --> 00:11:19.319
 that she loves

00:11:19.319 --> 00:11:20.799
 Jacob has the blessing

00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:21.599
 but he's fleeing

00:11:21.599 --> 00:11:22.459
 for his life

00:11:22.459 --> 00:11:23.219
 because his brother

00:11:23.219 --> 00:11:24.039
 wants him dead

00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:27.979
 and it's a messy situation

00:11:27.979 --> 00:11:28.799
 all because

00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:30.120
 they chased after

00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:30.879
 the right thing

00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:32.419
 the wrong way

00:11:32.419 --> 00:11:34.059
 right thing

00:11:34.059 --> 00:11:34.719
 the wrong way

00:11:34.719 --> 00:11:36.120
 and have we done

00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:36.919
 that before too

00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:38.740
 so often

00:11:38.740 --> 00:11:40.099
 that's what sin is

00:11:40.099 --> 00:11:41.599
 we take a good gift

00:11:41.599 --> 00:11:42.860
 God has given us

00:11:42.860 --> 00:11:44.120
 and twist it

00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:45.299
 twist it

00:11:45.299 --> 00:11:46.659
 with evil desires

00:11:46.659 --> 00:11:47.259
 it's good

00:11:47.259 --> 00:11:48.719
 to work hard

00:11:48.719 --> 00:11:49.819
 to want to provide

00:11:49.819 --> 00:11:50.620
 for your family

00:11:50.620 --> 00:11:52.120
 but then

00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:53.219
 don't we

00:11:53.219 --> 00:11:54.139
 scheme

00:11:54.139 --> 00:11:55.059
 maybe

00:11:55.059 --> 00:11:56.740
 you go against

00:11:56.740 --> 00:11:57.319
 your co-worker

00:11:57.319 --> 00:11:58.839
 or neglect your family

00:11:58.839 --> 00:11:59.439
 in your attempts

00:11:59.439 --> 00:12:00.899
 to go and provide for them

00:12:00.899 --> 00:12:01.719
 it's good to encourage

00:12:01.719 --> 00:12:01.959
 someone

00:12:01.959 --> 00:12:02.819
 to rebuke someone

00:12:02.819 --> 00:12:03.899
 to spread the gospel

00:12:03.899 --> 00:12:04.919
 even all those are good

00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:05.740
 but we can twist

00:12:05.740 --> 00:12:06.500
 those desires

00:12:06.500 --> 00:12:07.639
 and go after

00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:08.419
 a good thing

00:12:08.419 --> 00:12:09.320
 the wrong way

00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:10.419
 Jacob and Rebecca

00:12:10.419 --> 00:12:10.919
 did that

00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:11.860
 and it caused a mess

00:12:11.860 --> 00:12:13.919
 Esau

00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:14.820
 on the other hand

00:12:14.820 --> 00:12:15.940
 he's even worse

00:12:15.940 --> 00:12:17.539
 Esau is even worse

00:12:17.539 --> 00:12:19.279
 Esau is impulsive

00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:20.139
 we've been seeing that

00:12:20.139 --> 00:12:20.879
 he thinks before

00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:21.559
 he acts

00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:22.700
 he thinks with his stomach

00:12:22.700 --> 00:12:24.159
 according to just

00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:25.399
 his fleshly desires

00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:27.000
 and years ago

00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:28.720
 Esau had married

00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:29.820
 two Canaanite women

00:12:29.820 --> 00:12:31.740
 who made life bitter

00:12:31.740 --> 00:12:32.539
 for his parents

00:12:32.539 --> 00:12:33.659
 Isaac and Rebecca

00:12:33.659 --> 00:12:34.620
 and only now

00:12:34.620 --> 00:12:35.759
 in verse 8

00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:37.360
 years later

00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:38.759
 Esau finally

00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:39.539
 seems to realize

00:12:39.539 --> 00:12:41.019
 oh my parents

00:12:41.019 --> 00:12:42.399
 don't like them

00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:43.220
 they don't like that

00:12:43.220 --> 00:12:45.379
 years later

00:12:45.379 --> 00:12:46.120
 he finally starts

00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:46.580
 to realize

00:12:46.580 --> 00:12:47.419
 that's the type

00:12:47.419 --> 00:12:47.819
 of person

00:12:47.819 --> 00:12:48.460
 Esau is

00:12:48.460 --> 00:12:49.519
 but instead

00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:50.639
 of repenting

00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:51.980
 instead of realizing

00:12:51.980 --> 00:12:52.779
 this mistake

00:12:52.779 --> 00:12:53.980
 turning from it

00:12:53.980 --> 00:12:55.419
 Esau adds

00:12:55.419 --> 00:12:56.159
 to his mistake

00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:57.419
 Esau's in a hole

00:12:57.419 --> 00:12:58.720
 and he keeps digging

00:12:58.720 --> 00:12:59.960
 he already had

00:12:59.960 --> 00:13:00.500
 two wives

00:13:00.500 --> 00:13:01.659
 we know that's not

00:13:01.659 --> 00:13:03.019
 the plan for marriage

00:13:03.019 --> 00:13:03.659
 in the Bible

00:13:03.659 --> 00:13:04.360
 that's between

00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:04.799
 one man

00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:05.719
 one woman only

00:13:05.719 --> 00:13:07.679
 Esau had two wives

00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:08.480
 and so what does

00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:08.819
 he do?

00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:10.519
 he decides to take

00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:11.079
 a third wife

00:13:11.079 --> 00:13:12.240
 that'll make it better

00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:13.319
 and look who he marries

00:13:13.319 --> 00:13:13.879
 in verse 9

00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:15.000
 Esau went to Ishmael

00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:16.579
 and took as his wife

00:13:16.579 --> 00:13:17.639
 beside the wives

00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:18.319
 that he had

00:13:18.319 --> 00:13:20.519
 Mahalath

00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:21.139
 the daughter

00:13:21.139 --> 00:13:22.019
 of Ishmael

00:13:22.019 --> 00:13:23.980
 so Esau

00:13:23.980 --> 00:13:25.339
 sees that Isaac

00:13:25.339 --> 00:13:26.439
 sent Jacob away

00:13:26.439 --> 00:13:27.379
 to marry someone

00:13:27.379 --> 00:13:28.379
 from the family

00:13:28.379 --> 00:13:30.259
 weird we know

00:13:30.259 --> 00:13:31.519
 but that's what he does

00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:33.399
 and so Esau thinks

00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:34.620
 hey maybe I should

00:13:34.620 --> 00:13:35.340
 do that too

00:13:35.340 --> 00:13:36.659
 that's making Isaac

00:13:36.659 --> 00:13:37.139
 happy

00:13:37.139 --> 00:13:38.779
 Isaac blessed Jacob

00:13:38.779 --> 00:13:39.980
 maybe if I do

00:13:39.980 --> 00:13:40.699
 something that makes

00:13:40.699 --> 00:13:41.500
 my dad happy

00:13:41.500 --> 00:13:42.460
 he might change

00:13:42.460 --> 00:13:43.059
 his mind maybe

00:13:43.059 --> 00:13:43.620
 I don't know

00:13:43.620 --> 00:13:44.360
 but so

00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:45.759
 Esau goes

00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:48.639
 and marries

00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:49.279
 someone from

00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:50.279
 his father's side

00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:50.899
 of the family

00:13:50.899 --> 00:13:52.639
 and he goes

00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:53.340
 and marries

00:13:53.340 --> 00:13:54.659
 Ishmael's

00:13:54.659 --> 00:13:55.539
 daughter

00:13:55.539 --> 00:13:56.919
 but here's the

00:13:56.919 --> 00:13:57.699
 irony of that

00:13:57.699 --> 00:13:58.779
 Ishmael

00:13:58.779 --> 00:13:59.919
 who is

00:13:59.919 --> 00:14:01.240
 Esau's

00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:01.639
 uncle

00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:02.720
 Ishmael

00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:04.259
 was the son

00:14:04.259 --> 00:14:05.779
 that Abraham

00:14:05.779 --> 00:14:06.519
 sent away

00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:07.139
 from the family

00:14:07.139 --> 00:14:07.839
 do you remember

00:14:07.839 --> 00:14:08.139
 that

00:14:08.139 --> 00:14:09.360
 Ishmael

00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:10.799
 was the one

00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:11.980
 who

00:14:11.980 --> 00:14:12.919
 he's not

00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:13.919
 the child of promise

00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:14.519
 that was

00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:15.139
 Isaac

00:14:15.139 --> 00:14:16.699
 Ishmael

00:14:16.699 --> 00:14:17.339
 wasn't the son

00:14:17.339 --> 00:14:17.819
 to inherit

00:14:17.819 --> 00:14:18.299
 the covenant

00:14:18.299 --> 00:14:19.480
 so Esau

00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:19.980
 thinks he's

00:14:19.980 --> 00:14:20.559
 getting closer

00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:21.240
 to the blessing

00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:22.360
 but by marrying

00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:23.620
 Ishmael's daughter

00:14:23.620 --> 00:14:24.919
 ironically

00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:25.819
 he's moving

00:14:25.819 --> 00:14:26.779
 even further

00:14:26.779 --> 00:14:27.419
 away from that

00:14:27.419 --> 00:14:29.299
 and do we also

00:14:29.299 --> 00:14:29.839
 do the same

00:14:29.839 --> 00:14:30.299
 sometimes

00:14:30.299 --> 00:14:31.279
 caught in a mess

00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:32.279
 instead of

00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:32.879
 repenting

00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:34.259
 realizing our

00:14:34.259 --> 00:14:34.439
 sin

00:14:34.439 --> 00:14:35.219
 casting upon

00:14:35.219 --> 00:14:35.799
 God

00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:36.779
 casting it

00:14:36.779 --> 00:14:37.319
 upon Christ

00:14:37.319 --> 00:14:37.679
 we double

00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:38.039
 down

00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:38.719
 on our

00:14:38.719 --> 00:14:39.159
 mistakes

00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:40.659
 and so

00:14:40.659 --> 00:14:42.000
 this is

00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:42.819
 the situation

00:14:42.819 --> 00:14:43.459
 we find

00:14:43.459 --> 00:14:43.899
 this family

00:14:43.899 --> 00:14:44.339
 in

00:14:44.339 --> 00:14:45.319
 Esau's

00:14:45.319 --> 00:14:46.000
 in a rage

00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:46.959
 Jacob's

00:14:46.959 --> 00:14:47.639
 on the run

00:14:47.639 --> 00:14:48.459
 Esau wants

00:14:48.459 --> 00:14:49.159
 to kill him

00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:50.240
 Jacob has

00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:51.759
 God's blessing

00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:52.419
 the blessing

00:14:52.419 --> 00:14:53.120
 of the Lord's

00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:53.439
 covenant

00:14:53.439 --> 00:14:54.000
 to Abraham

00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:55.079
 but he's

00:14:55.079 --> 00:14:55.879
 also forced

00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:56.399
 to flee

00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:57.579
 from the

00:14:57.579 --> 00:14:57.779
 covenant

00:14:57.779 --> 00:14:58.159
 promises

00:14:58.159 --> 00:14:58.779
 from the

00:14:58.779 --> 00:14:59.399
 promised land

00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:01.059
 that's what

00:15:01.059 --> 00:15:01.439
 we see

00:15:01.439 --> 00:15:01.980
 in verse 10

00:15:01.980 --> 00:15:02.799
 Jacob left

00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:03.319
 Beersheba

00:15:03.319 --> 00:15:03.819
 and went

00:15:03.819 --> 00:15:04.340
 towards

00:15:04.340 --> 00:15:04.939
 Haran

00:15:04.939 --> 00:15:06.639
 that's the

00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:07.079
 situation

00:15:07.079 --> 00:15:07.539
 we're in

00:15:07.539 --> 00:15:08.079
 and night

00:15:08.079 --> 00:15:08.480
 falls

00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:09.639
 Jacob

00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:10.159
 is on

00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:10.500
 the run

00:15:10.500 --> 00:15:11.100
 he's in

00:15:11.100 --> 00:15:11.539
 the wilderness

00:15:11.539 --> 00:15:12.199
 in Haran

00:15:12.199 --> 00:15:13.579
 night comes

00:15:13.579 --> 00:15:14.159
 where does

00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:14.559
 he sleep

00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:15.579
 taking one

00:15:15.579 --> 00:15:15.840
 of the

00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:16.179
 stones

00:15:16.179 --> 00:15:16.559
 of the

00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:16.899
 place

00:15:16.899 --> 00:15:17.819
 he put

00:15:17.819 --> 00:15:18.439
 it under

00:15:18.439 --> 00:15:18.939
 his head

00:15:18.939 --> 00:15:19.539
 and lay

00:15:19.539 --> 00:15:19.819
 down

00:15:19.819 --> 00:15:20.039
 in that

00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:20.279
 place

00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:20.720
 to sleep

00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:21.740
 Jacob

00:15:21.740 --> 00:15:22.259
 spent all

00:15:22.259 --> 00:15:22.620
 his life

00:15:22.620 --> 00:15:22.939
 trying to

00:15:22.939 --> 00:15:23.240
 secure the

00:15:23.240 --> 00:15:23.500
 blessing

00:15:23.500 --> 00:15:24.340
 but now

00:15:24.340 --> 00:15:25.000
 he's just

00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:25.460
 alone

00:15:25.460 --> 00:15:26.220
 in the

00:15:26.220 --> 00:15:26.600
 dark

00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:27.360
 lying on

00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:27.759
 the ground

00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:28.500
 with a stone

00:15:28.500 --> 00:15:29.280
 by his head

00:15:29.280 --> 00:15:30.600
 that's what

00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:31.040
 happens

00:15:31.040 --> 00:15:31.980
 he's at one

00:15:31.980 --> 00:15:32.340
 of the

00:15:32.340 --> 00:15:33.180
 lowest points

00:15:33.180 --> 00:15:33.720
 in his life

00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:34.320
 so far

00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:36.560
 and what I

00:15:36.560 --> 00:15:36.960
 want to see

00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:37.200
 in bringing

00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:37.560
 this up

00:15:37.560 --> 00:15:38.300
 is that

00:15:38.300 --> 00:15:39.900
 in Jacob's

00:15:39.900 --> 00:15:40.259
 low point

00:15:40.259 --> 00:15:40.740
 this is where

00:15:40.740 --> 00:15:41.519
 Jacob is

00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:42.780
 it's that

00:15:42.780 --> 00:15:44.139
 this is the

00:15:44.139 --> 00:15:44.500
 time

00:15:44.500 --> 00:15:45.360
 this is the

00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:45.720
 place

00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:46.740
 where God

00:15:46.740 --> 00:15:47.680
 meets Jacob

00:15:47.680 --> 00:15:48.560
 in that low

00:15:48.560 --> 00:15:48.740
 point

00:15:48.740 --> 00:15:49.560
 this is where

00:15:49.560 --> 00:15:50.160
 we see the

00:15:50.160 --> 00:15:50.879
 grace of God

00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:51.560
 reach down

00:15:51.560 --> 00:15:52.360
 to find Jacob

00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:53.340
 in Jacob's

00:15:53.340 --> 00:15:53.540
 mess

00:15:53.539 --> 00:15:54.399
 this is where

00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:55.500
 God appears

00:15:55.500 --> 00:15:56.179
 to Jacob

00:15:56.179 --> 00:15:56.759
 in a dream

00:15:56.759 --> 00:15:58.339
 God's grace

00:15:58.339 --> 00:15:59.559
 came to Jacob

00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:00.539
 in his

00:16:00.539 --> 00:16:01.659
 time of trial

00:16:01.659 --> 00:16:02.279
 in his low

00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:02.480
 point

00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:03.199
 not when he's

00:16:03.199 --> 00:16:03.779
 safe at home

00:16:03.779 --> 00:16:05.480
 not when he has

00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:06.079
 his life all

00:16:06.079 --> 00:16:06.539
 sorted out

00:16:06.539 --> 00:16:07.099
 God can do

00:16:07.099 --> 00:16:07.639
 this but that's

00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:08.099
 not what he

00:16:08.099 --> 00:16:08.679
 did to Jacob

00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:10.419
 it's not when

00:16:10.419 --> 00:16:10.839
 God

00:16:10.839 --> 00:16:11.659
 when Jacob

00:16:11.659 --> 00:16:12.059
 had done

00:16:12.059 --> 00:16:12.559
 anything

00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:13.439
 to earn

00:16:13.439 --> 00:16:14.120
 God's favor

00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:16.059
 God meets

00:16:16.059 --> 00:16:16.500
 Jacob

00:16:16.500 --> 00:16:17.559
 after he

00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:18.039
 screwed it

00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:18.439
 all up

00:16:18.439 --> 00:16:19.719
 after his

00:16:19.719 --> 00:16:20.559
 sin and

00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:21.019
 scheming

00:16:21.019 --> 00:16:21.419
 blew up

00:16:21.419 --> 00:16:21.959
 in his face

00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:23.200
 that's where

00:16:23.200 --> 00:16:23.580
 God

00:16:23.580 --> 00:16:24.360
 comes

00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:24.960
 and meets

00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:25.360
 Jacob

00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:26.060
 in chapter

00:16:26.060 --> 00:16:26.560
 28

00:16:26.560 --> 00:16:28.440
 and now

00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:29.200
 maybe

00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:30.019
 you're in

00:16:30.019 --> 00:16:30.960
 a similar

00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:31.540
 situation

00:16:31.540 --> 00:16:32.080
 a similar

00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:32.460
 place

00:16:32.460 --> 00:16:32.940
 here today

00:16:32.940 --> 00:16:34.100
 maybe you're

00:16:34.100 --> 00:16:34.580
 dealing with

00:16:34.580 --> 00:16:35.240
 consequences

00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:36.440
 of some of

00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:36.720
 your own

00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:37.379
 bad decisions

00:16:37.379 --> 00:16:38.460
 or suffering

00:16:38.460 --> 00:16:39.080
 because someone

00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:39.980
 else had

00:16:39.980 --> 00:16:40.680
 done something

00:16:40.680 --> 00:16:41.980
 to you

00:16:41.980 --> 00:16:43.259
 maybe life

00:16:43.259 --> 00:16:43.900
 took a turn

00:16:43.900 --> 00:16:44.220
 that you

00:16:44.220 --> 00:16:44.980
 didn't expect

00:16:44.980 --> 00:16:45.960
 that wasn't

00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:46.320
 in your

00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:46.700
 control

00:16:46.700 --> 00:16:48.000
 but whatever

00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:48.540
 brought

00:16:48.540 --> 00:16:49.920
 you to

00:16:49.920 --> 00:16:50.379
 this low

00:16:50.379 --> 00:16:50.720
 point

00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:52.279
 I want

00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:52.580
 us to

00:16:52.580 --> 00:16:53.139
 see today

00:16:53.139 --> 00:16:54.340
 that this

00:16:54.340 --> 00:16:54.860
 is the

00:16:54.860 --> 00:16:55.379
 God we

00:16:55.379 --> 00:16:55.660
 worship

00:16:55.660 --> 00:16:56.279
 this is

00:16:56.279 --> 00:16:56.720
 the type

00:16:56.720 --> 00:16:57.060
 of God

00:16:57.060 --> 00:16:57.460
 we worship

00:16:57.460 --> 00:16:58.060
 behold your

00:16:58.060 --> 00:16:58.360
 God

00:16:58.360 --> 00:16:59.220
 he is the

00:16:59.220 --> 00:16:59.480
 Lord

00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:00.220
 who is

00:17:00.220 --> 00:17:00.700
 near to

00:17:00.700 --> 00:17:01.120
 the broken

00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:01.639
 hearted

00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:02.440
 and saves

00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:03.120
 those crushed

00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:04.200
 in spirit

00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:05.559
 he is with

00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:06.019
 you not

00:17:06.019 --> 00:17:07.000
 only when we

00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:07.460
 have it all

00:17:07.460 --> 00:17:07.960
 figured out

00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:09.299
 but also

00:17:09.299 --> 00:17:09.940
 in the

00:17:09.940 --> 00:17:10.360
 struggles

00:17:10.360 --> 00:17:11.160
 and in

00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:11.660
 the trials

00:17:11.660 --> 00:17:12.799
 he gently

00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:13.980
 and graciously

00:17:13.980 --> 00:17:14.559
 meets you

00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:14.779
 there

00:17:14.779 --> 00:17:16.440
 and isn't

00:17:16.440 --> 00:17:16.779
 it so

00:17:16.779 --> 00:17:17.160
 often

00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:18.259
 in those

00:17:18.259 --> 00:17:18.660
 times

00:17:18.660 --> 00:17:19.279
 when we

00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:19.579
 do

00:17:19.579 --> 00:17:20.159
 actually

00:17:20.159 --> 00:17:21.119
 encounter

00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:21.500
 God

00:17:21.500 --> 00:17:22.240
 and we

00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:22.460
 do

00:17:22.460 --> 00:17:22.699
 meet

00:17:22.699 --> 00:17:23.019
 God

00:17:23.019 --> 00:17:24.259
 when life's

00:17:24.259 --> 00:17:24.460
 good

00:17:24.460 --> 00:17:24.980
 it's so

00:17:24.980 --> 00:17:25.399
 easy to

00:17:25.399 --> 00:17:25.679
 think

00:17:25.679 --> 00:17:26.399
 that

00:17:26.399 --> 00:17:26.980
 I'm

00:17:26.980 --> 00:17:27.240
 alright

00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:27.619
 I can

00:17:27.619 --> 00:17:28.000
 manage

00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:28.679
 I don't

00:17:28.679 --> 00:17:28.899
 need

00:17:28.899 --> 00:17:29.199
 God

00:17:29.199 --> 00:17:30.079
 I can

00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:30.279
 do it

00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:30.619
 myself

00:17:30.619 --> 00:17:31.599
 but

00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:32.559
 so often

00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:33.119
 it's in

00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:33.799
 our stress

00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:34.859
 in our

00:17:34.859 --> 00:17:35.399
 anxiety

00:17:35.399 --> 00:17:36.000
 in our

00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:36.299
 darkest

00:17:36.299 --> 00:17:36.759
 moments

00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:37.879
 when we're

00:17:37.879 --> 00:17:38.199
 at the

00:17:38.199 --> 00:17:38.559
 end of

00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:39.000
 ourselves

00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:40.519
 that's

00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:41.039
 when God

00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:41.480
 is so

00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:42.139
 near and

00:17:42.139 --> 00:17:42.759
 dear to

00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:43.079
 us

00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:44.079
 I wonder

00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:44.419
 if some

00:17:44.419 --> 00:17:45.139
 of us

00:17:45.139 --> 00:17:45.819
 in this

00:17:45.819 --> 00:17:46.240
 room have

00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:46.740
 experienced

00:17:46.740 --> 00:17:47.059
 that

00:17:47.059 --> 00:17:47.859
 that God

00:17:47.859 --> 00:17:48.819
 meets us

00:17:48.819 --> 00:17:49.879
 in our

00:17:49.879 --> 00:17:50.179
 mess

00:17:50.179 --> 00:17:51.720
 and if

00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:52.119
 you're going

00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:52.500
 through a

00:17:52.500 --> 00:17:52.980
 hard time

00:17:52.980 --> 00:17:53.319
 today

00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:54.799
 if you're

00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:55.319
 going through

00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:55.720
 a low

00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:55.980
 point

00:17:55.980 --> 00:17:56.279
 today

00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:57.700
 don't let

00:17:57.700 --> 00:17:58.279
 that drive

00:17:58.279 --> 00:17:58.839
 you away

00:17:58.839 --> 00:17:59.359
 from God

00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:00.759
 don't

00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:01.519
 turn away

00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:01.980
 from God

00:18:01.980 --> 00:18:02.720
 but let

00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:03.019
 this

00:18:03.019 --> 00:18:04.619
 draw near

00:18:04.619 --> 00:18:05.019
 to him

00:18:05.019 --> 00:18:06.119
 because God

00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:06.859
 meets us

00:18:06.859 --> 00:18:08.299
 in our

00:18:08.299 --> 00:18:09.019
 mess

00:18:09.019 --> 00:18:11.139
 but even

00:18:11.139 --> 00:18:11.720
 if we don't

00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:12.319
 even if we

00:18:12.319 --> 00:18:12.779
 don't want

00:18:12.779 --> 00:18:13.240
 to draw near

00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:13.619
 to God

00:18:13.619 --> 00:18:13.980
 we don't

00:18:13.980 --> 00:18:14.339
 have that

00:18:14.339 --> 00:18:14.919
 desire to

00:18:14.919 --> 00:18:16.039
 notice this

00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:17.420
 God

00:18:17.420 --> 00:18:18.279
 took the

00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:18.779
 initiative

00:18:18.779 --> 00:18:19.920
 to find

00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:20.279
 Jacob

00:18:20.279 --> 00:18:21.379
 God

00:18:21.379 --> 00:18:21.799
 takes

00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:22.279
 initiative

00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:23.299
 to come

00:18:23.299 --> 00:18:23.839
 and find

00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:24.220
 us

00:18:24.220 --> 00:18:25.440
 so far

00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:25.839
 in Genesis

00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:27.339
 we have

00:18:27.339 --> 00:18:28.000
 not seen

00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:28.680
 Jacob pray

00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:29.579
 or seek

00:18:29.579 --> 00:18:29.859
 God

00:18:29.859 --> 00:18:30.980
 actually

00:18:30.980 --> 00:18:31.680
 the only

00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:32.480
 time that

00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:32.960
 we've heard

00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:33.799
 Jacob mention

00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:34.159
 God

00:18:34.159 --> 00:18:34.680
 is in the

00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:35.379
 last chapter

00:18:35.379 --> 00:18:36.139
 I think

00:18:36.139 --> 00:18:36.960
 chapter 27

00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:37.599
 verse 20

00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:39.119
 that's the only

00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:39.720
 time he mentions

00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:40.180
 God really

00:18:40.180 --> 00:18:40.920
 when he uses

00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:41.460
 the name

00:18:41.460 --> 00:18:42.139
 of the Lord

00:18:42.139 --> 00:18:43.299
 as a lie

00:18:43.299 --> 00:18:44.059
 to cheat

00:18:44.059 --> 00:18:44.500
 his dying

00:18:44.500 --> 00:18:44.879
 father

00:18:44.879 --> 00:18:46.259
 he says

00:18:46.259 --> 00:18:46.679
 trust me

00:18:46.679 --> 00:18:46.879
 dad

00:18:46.879 --> 00:18:47.599
 I'm Esau

00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:48.720
 I came

00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:49.039
 back

00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:49.879
 really quickly

00:18:49.879 --> 00:18:50.740
 because the

00:18:50.740 --> 00:18:51.000
 Lord

00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:51.700
 your God

00:18:51.700 --> 00:18:52.480
 has granted

00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:52.960
 me success

00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:53.700
 that's the only

00:18:53.700 --> 00:18:54.299
 time we've seen

00:18:54.299 --> 00:18:55.079
 Jacob mention

00:18:55.079 --> 00:18:56.279
 the Lord

00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:58.539
 when God

00:18:58.539 --> 00:18:59.059
 appeared to

00:18:59.059 --> 00:18:59.639
 Jacob here

00:18:59.639 --> 00:19:00.980
 Jacob wasn't

00:19:00.980 --> 00:19:01.259
 praying

00:19:01.259 --> 00:19:02.740
 Jacob wasn't

00:19:02.740 --> 00:19:03.240
 worshipping

00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:03.960
 he wasn't

00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:04.599
 going to church

00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:05.960
 he was running

00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:06.679
 away from his

00:19:06.679 --> 00:19:06.919
 brother

00:19:06.919 --> 00:19:07.720
 and actually

00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:08.539
 he was asleep

00:19:08.539 --> 00:19:09.119
 this dude

00:19:09.119 --> 00:19:09.700
 was sleeping

00:19:09.700 --> 00:19:10.659
 Jacob was

00:19:10.659 --> 00:19:11.059
 snoring

00:19:11.059 --> 00:19:12.339
 Jacob wasn't

00:19:12.339 --> 00:19:12.899
 looking for

00:19:12.899 --> 00:19:13.200
 God

00:19:13.200 --> 00:19:14.680
 God came

00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:15.500
 to find

00:19:15.500 --> 00:19:16.039
 Jacob

00:19:16.039 --> 00:19:17.700
 we see that

00:19:17.700 --> 00:19:18.220
 in the dream

00:19:18.220 --> 00:19:19.539
 also when we

00:19:19.539 --> 00:19:19.920
 look at the

00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:20.240
 dream in

00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:20.900
 verse 12

00:19:20.900 --> 00:19:22.259
 he dreamed

00:19:22.259 --> 00:19:23.039
 Jacob dreamed

00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:23.799
 while he was

00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:24.100
 sleeping

00:19:24.100 --> 00:19:24.960
 and behold

00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:26.160
 there was a

00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:26.880
 ladder set

00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:27.600
 up on the

00:19:27.600 --> 00:19:27.860
 earth

00:19:27.860 --> 00:19:28.180
 and the

00:19:28.180 --> 00:19:28.779
 top of it

00:19:28.779 --> 00:19:29.319
 reached to

00:19:29.319 --> 00:19:29.720
 the heaven

00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:30.640
 and behold

00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:31.380
 the angels

00:19:31.380 --> 00:19:31.759
 of God

00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:32.380
 were ascending

00:19:32.380 --> 00:19:33.160
 and descending

00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:33.759
 on it

00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:35.299
 now some

00:19:35.299 --> 00:19:35.940
 other translations

00:19:35.940 --> 00:19:36.440
 if you look

00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:36.700
 at it

00:19:36.700 --> 00:19:37.120
 in the place

00:19:37.120 --> 00:19:37.640
 of a ladder

00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:38.660
 some others

00:19:38.660 --> 00:19:39.100
 will say

00:19:39.100 --> 00:19:39.779
 stairway

00:19:39.779 --> 00:19:40.539
 staircase

00:19:40.539 --> 00:19:41.779
 that's

00:19:41.779 --> 00:19:42.420
 probably

00:19:42.420 --> 00:19:43.340
 more accurate

00:19:43.340 --> 00:19:43.860
 or as

00:19:43.860 --> 00:19:44.220
 accurate

00:19:44.220 --> 00:19:44.940
 if it helps

00:19:44.940 --> 00:19:45.440
 you to

00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:45.800
 visualize

00:19:45.800 --> 00:19:46.360
 a staircase

00:19:46.360 --> 00:19:46.840
 instead of

00:19:46.840 --> 00:19:47.160
 a ladder

00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:47.600
 if you want

00:19:47.600 --> 00:19:48.039
 to visualize

00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:48.740
 this weird

00:19:48.740 --> 00:19:49.039
 dream

00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:49.800
 you can go

00:19:49.800 --> 00:19:50.060
 and do

00:19:50.060 --> 00:19:50.300
 that

00:19:50.300 --> 00:19:51.080
 the point

00:19:51.080 --> 00:19:51.880
 is that

00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:52.880
 we see

00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:53.279
 something

00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:53.900
 in this dream

00:19:53.900 --> 00:19:54.240
 there is

00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:54.640
 something

00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:55.700
 connecting

00:19:55.700 --> 00:19:56.960
 earth and

00:19:56.960 --> 00:19:57.240
 heaven

00:19:57.240 --> 00:19:57.860
 there's

00:19:57.860 --> 00:19:59.060
 a way

00:19:59.060 --> 00:19:59.800
 made

00:19:59.800 --> 00:20:00.220
 between

00:20:00.220 --> 00:20:00.740
 earth and

00:20:00.740 --> 00:20:01.000
 heaven

00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:01.860
 and notice

00:20:01.860 --> 00:20:02.320
 this

00:20:02.320 --> 00:20:03.560
 it says

00:20:03.560 --> 00:20:04.920
 there was

00:20:04.920 --> 00:20:05.420
 a ladder

00:20:05.420 --> 00:20:05.980
 set up

00:20:05.980 --> 00:20:07.220
 the language

00:20:07.220 --> 00:20:07.940
 here is

00:20:07.940 --> 00:20:08.440
 passive

00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:09.539
 there was

00:20:09.539 --> 00:20:10.019
 a ladder

00:20:10.019 --> 00:20:10.620
 set up

00:20:10.620 --> 00:20:10.820
 there

00:20:10.820 --> 00:20:11.980
 the staircase

00:20:11.980 --> 00:20:12.779
 is there

00:20:12.779 --> 00:20:13.220
 in the dream

00:20:13.220 --> 00:20:13.500
 already

00:20:13.500 --> 00:20:14.220
 Jacob

00:20:14.220 --> 00:20:14.960
 didn't build

00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:15.220
 it

00:20:15.220 --> 00:20:16.059
 Jacob

00:20:16.059 --> 00:20:16.559
 couldn't

00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:16.920
 construct

00:20:16.920 --> 00:20:17.080
 it

00:20:17.080 --> 00:20:17.900
 he didn't

00:20:17.900 --> 00:20:18.799
 do anything

00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:19.180
 to make

00:20:19.180 --> 00:20:19.539
 this ladder

00:20:19.539 --> 00:20:19.840
 appear

00:20:19.840 --> 00:20:21.100
 someone else

00:20:21.100 --> 00:20:21.680
 put the

00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:22.100
 stairway

00:20:22.100 --> 00:20:22.299
 there

00:20:22.299 --> 00:20:23.500
 and

00:20:23.500 --> 00:20:24.799
 this might

00:20:24.799 --> 00:20:25.299
 remind us

00:20:25.299 --> 00:20:25.680
 of another

00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:26.240
 story

00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:26.920
 in Genesis

00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:28.259
 do you

00:20:28.259 --> 00:20:28.559
 remember

00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:29.200
 the tower

00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:29.799
 of Babel

00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:31.660
 the tower

00:20:31.660 --> 00:20:32.019
 of Babel

00:20:32.019 --> 00:20:32.519
 the people

00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:33.039
 at Babel

00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:34.440
 they said

00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:35.039
 let us

00:20:35.039 --> 00:20:35.779
 build ourselves

00:20:35.779 --> 00:20:36.220
 a city

00:20:36.220 --> 00:20:36.720
 and a tower

00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:37.440
 with its top

00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:38.440
 in the heavens

00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:39.640
 and

00:20:39.640 --> 00:20:41.340
 let us

00:20:41.340 --> 00:20:41.880
 make a name

00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:42.539
 for ourselves

00:20:42.539 --> 00:20:43.279
 they wanted

00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:43.920
 to build

00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:44.480
 a tower

00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:45.080
 that would

00:20:45.080 --> 00:20:45.860
 reach the heavens

00:20:45.860 --> 00:20:46.759
 build the way

00:20:46.759 --> 00:20:47.000
 to heaven

00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:47.660
 make a name

00:20:47.660 --> 00:20:48.240
 for themselves

00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:49.220
 secure

00:20:49.220 --> 00:20:50.160
 their future

00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:51.440
 and

00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:52.279
 isn't that

00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:52.940
 what Jacob

00:20:52.940 --> 00:20:53.759
 has been doing

00:20:53.759 --> 00:20:54.180
 isn't that

00:20:54.180 --> 00:20:54.539
 what Jacob

00:20:54.539 --> 00:20:55.080
 has been doing

00:20:55.080 --> 00:20:55.820
 his whole life

00:20:55.820 --> 00:20:57.180
 trying to

00:20:57.180 --> 00:20:57.860
 cheat

00:20:57.860 --> 00:20:58.519
 or

00:20:58.519 --> 00:20:59.900
 manipulate

00:20:59.900 --> 00:21:00.580
 Esau

00:21:00.580 --> 00:21:01.160
 to trade

00:21:01.160 --> 00:21:01.920
 his birthright

00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:02.440
 for a bowl

00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:02.860
 of soup

00:21:02.860 --> 00:21:03.940
 and

00:21:03.940 --> 00:21:05.180
 last chapter

00:21:05.180 --> 00:21:06.200
 to lie

00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:07.720
 to secure

00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:08.360
 the blessing

00:21:08.360 --> 00:21:09.299
 by his own

00:21:09.299 --> 00:21:09.700
 effort

00:21:09.700 --> 00:21:10.519
 scheming

00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:12.019
 Jacob

00:21:12.019 --> 00:21:12.920
 has been

00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:13.220
 trying to

00:21:13.220 --> 00:21:13.640
 do this

00:21:13.640 --> 00:21:14.900
 and now

00:21:14.900 --> 00:21:16.220
 heaven

00:21:16.220 --> 00:21:17.220
 opened up

00:21:17.220 --> 00:21:17.680
 to Jacob

00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:18.340
 he sees

00:21:18.340 --> 00:21:19.059
 God's angels

00:21:19.059 --> 00:21:19.740
 ascending

00:21:19.740 --> 00:21:20.700
 and descending

00:21:20.700 --> 00:21:21.460
 between heaven

00:21:21.460 --> 00:21:21.960
 and earth

00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:23.080
 God and his

00:21:23.080 --> 00:21:23.580
 messengers

00:21:23.580 --> 00:21:24.380
 are all around

00:21:24.380 --> 00:21:24.559
 him

00:21:24.559 --> 00:21:25.600
 even though

00:21:25.600 --> 00:21:26.200
 Jacob's all

00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:26.640
 alone in the

00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:26.860
 wilderness

00:21:26.860 --> 00:21:27.460
 he sees

00:21:27.460 --> 00:21:28.740
 God's angels

00:21:28.740 --> 00:21:29.640
 are surrounding

00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:29.980
 him

00:21:29.980 --> 00:21:32.140
 what did

00:21:32.140 --> 00:21:32.779
 Jacob do

00:21:32.779 --> 00:21:33.319
 for heaven

00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:33.920
 to open

00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:34.700
 up to him

00:21:34.700 --> 00:21:35.160
 like that

00:21:35.160 --> 00:21:36.759
 answer

00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:36.980
 is

00:21:36.980 --> 00:21:38.180
 absolutely

00:21:38.180 --> 00:21:38.700
 nothing

00:21:38.700 --> 00:21:39.880
 Jacob

00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:40.299
 did

00:21:40.299 --> 00:21:40.920
 nothing

00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:42.059
 he's lying

00:21:42.059 --> 00:21:42.340
 on the

00:21:42.340 --> 00:21:42.600
 ground

00:21:42.600 --> 00:21:43.660
 fast asleep

00:21:43.660 --> 00:21:44.180
 Jacob

00:21:44.180 --> 00:21:44.460
 didn't

00:21:44.460 --> 00:21:44.980
 initiate

00:21:44.980 --> 00:21:45.220
 this

00:21:45.220 --> 00:21:45.620
 encounter

00:21:45.620 --> 00:21:46.000
 he didn't

00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:46.519
 ask God

00:21:46.519 --> 00:21:46.819
 to do

00:21:46.819 --> 00:21:47.080
 this

00:21:47.080 --> 00:21:47.960
 God

00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:48.480
 went

00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:48.920
 to him

00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:49.500
 it's

00:21:49.500 --> 00:21:49.900
 all

00:21:49.900 --> 00:21:50.620
 grace

00:21:50.620 --> 00:21:51.120
 freely

00:21:51.120 --> 00:21:51.500
 given

00:21:51.500 --> 00:21:52.480
 unearned

00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:53.360
 undeserved

00:21:53.360 --> 00:21:54.340
 all by

00:21:54.340 --> 00:21:54.740
 God's

00:21:54.740 --> 00:21:55.200
 initiative

00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:56.860
 and also

00:21:56.860 --> 00:21:57.720
 God

00:21:57.720 --> 00:21:58.240
 promises

00:21:58.240 --> 00:21:58.640
 Jacob

00:21:58.640 --> 00:21:59.000
 what he

00:21:59.000 --> 00:21:59.340
 doesn't

00:21:59.340 --> 00:22:00.039
 deserve

00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:01.160
 after

00:22:01.160 --> 00:22:01.740
 everything

00:22:01.740 --> 00:22:02.420
 Jacob

00:22:02.420 --> 00:22:02.779
 did

00:22:02.779 --> 00:22:03.759
 it's

00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:04.359
 remarkable

00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:04.700
 here

00:22:04.700 --> 00:22:04.980
 to me

00:22:04.980 --> 00:22:05.160
 that

00:22:05.160 --> 00:22:05.759
 God

00:22:05.759 --> 00:22:06.259
 doesn't

00:22:06.259 --> 00:22:06.879
 scold

00:22:06.879 --> 00:22:07.319
 Jacob

00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:07.899
 here

00:22:07.899 --> 00:22:08.920
 at least

00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:09.339
 not in

00:22:09.339 --> 00:22:09.599
 this

00:22:09.599 --> 00:22:10.759
 instance

00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:11.119
 God

00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:11.299
 will

00:22:11.299 --> 00:22:11.660
 correct

00:22:11.660 --> 00:22:11.960
 Jacob

00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:12.339
 later

00:22:12.339 --> 00:22:12.859
 but

00:22:12.859 --> 00:22:13.319
 Jacob

00:22:13.319 --> 00:22:13.759
 actually

00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:14.019
 messed

00:22:14.019 --> 00:22:14.359
 everything

00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:14.619
 up

00:22:14.619 --> 00:22:14.899
 he

00:22:14.899 --> 00:22:15.139
 cheated

00:22:15.139 --> 00:22:15.339
 his

00:22:15.339 --> 00:22:15.599
 dying

00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:15.980
 dad

00:22:15.980 --> 00:22:16.500
 and

00:22:16.500 --> 00:22:17.160
 God

00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:17.399
 doesn't

00:22:17.399 --> 00:22:17.660
 go to

00:22:17.660 --> 00:22:17.779
 him

00:22:17.779 --> 00:22:18.099
 and say

00:22:18.099 --> 00:22:18.559
 first thing

00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:18.819
 off

00:22:18.819 --> 00:22:19.399
 what were

00:22:19.399 --> 00:22:19.519
 you

00:22:19.519 --> 00:22:19.859
 thinking

00:22:19.859 --> 00:22:20.579
 what did

00:22:20.579 --> 00:22:20.980
 you do

00:22:20.980 --> 00:22:21.920
 you screwed

00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:22.420
 it up

00:22:22.420 --> 00:22:23.259
 instead

00:22:23.259 --> 00:22:23.879
 God

00:22:23.879 --> 00:22:24.519
 meets

00:22:24.519 --> 00:22:25.279
 Jacob's

00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:25.539
 sin

00:22:25.539 --> 00:22:26.399
 with

00:22:26.399 --> 00:22:27.119
 promises

00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:28.399
 he meets

00:22:28.399 --> 00:22:28.839
 Jacob's

00:22:28.839 --> 00:22:28.980
 sin

00:22:28.980 --> 00:22:29.180
 with

00:22:29.180 --> 00:22:29.720
 promises

00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:30.059
 not

00:22:30.059 --> 00:22:30.259
 just

00:22:30.259 --> 00:22:30.500
 one

00:22:30.500 --> 00:22:30.920
 promise

00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:31.799
 a promise

00:22:31.799 --> 00:22:32.259
 after

00:22:32.259 --> 00:22:32.720
 promise

00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:33.200
 after

00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:33.639
 promise

00:22:33.639 --> 00:22:33.940
 look

00:22:33.940 --> 00:22:34.680
 starting

00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:34.899
 from

00:22:34.899 --> 00:22:35.099
 verse

00:22:35.099 --> 00:22:35.539
 13

00:22:35.539 --> 00:22:37.139
 Jacob

00:22:37.139 --> 00:22:38.059
 is

00:22:38.059 --> 00:22:38.539
 fleeing

00:22:38.539 --> 00:22:38.980
 in the

00:22:38.980 --> 00:22:39.319
 wilderness

00:22:39.319 --> 00:22:40.099
 away

00:22:40.099 --> 00:22:40.299
 from

00:22:40.299 --> 00:22:40.579
 home

00:22:40.579 --> 00:22:41.460
 but

00:22:41.460 --> 00:22:41.759
 God

00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:42.299
 promises

00:22:42.299 --> 00:22:42.720
 him

00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:43.379
 land

00:22:43.379 --> 00:22:44.059
 I'll

00:22:44.059 --> 00:22:44.220
 give

00:22:44.220 --> 00:22:44.359
 you

00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:44.779
 this

00:22:44.779 --> 00:22:45.500
 land

00:22:45.500 --> 00:22:46.700
 Jacob

00:22:46.700 --> 00:22:47.220
 ran

00:22:47.220 --> 00:22:47.460
 from

00:22:47.460 --> 00:22:47.599
 his

00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:47.960
 family

00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:49.159
 but

00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:49.940
 promises

00:22:49.940 --> 00:22:50.419

 I

00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:23.680
 will

00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:23.960
 bring

00:23:23.960 --> 00:23:24.140
 you

00:23:24.140 --> 00:23:24.500
 back

00:23:24.500 --> 00:23:24.840
 I

00:23:24.840 --> 00:23:24.980
 will

00:23:24.980 --> 00:23:25.180
 bring

00:23:25.180 --> 00:23:25.300
 you

00:23:25.300 --> 00:23:25.600
 back

00:23:25.600 --> 00:23:28.680
 Jacob's

00:23:28.680 --> 00:23:29.039
 future

00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:29.460
 seems

00:23:29.460 --> 00:23:29.960
 uncertain

00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:31.059
 but God

00:23:31.059 --> 00:23:31.620
 promises

00:23:31.620 --> 00:23:32.160
 I

00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:32.340
 will

00:23:32.340 --> 00:23:32.600
 not

00:23:32.600 --> 00:23:32.960
 leave

00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:33.220
 you

00:23:33.220 --> 00:23:33.779
 until

00:23:33.779 --> 00:23:34.019
 I

00:23:34.019 --> 00:23:34.180
 have

00:23:34.180 --> 00:23:34.539
 done

00:23:34.539 --> 00:23:35.059
 what

00:23:35.059 --> 00:23:35.279
 I

00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:35.480
 have

00:23:35.480 --> 00:23:35.860

00:23:35.860 --> 00:23:36.140
 you

00:23:36.140 --> 00:23:37.340

00:23:37.340 --> 00:23:37.440
 you

00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:37.559

00:23:38.360 --> 00:23:38.779
 has

00:23:38.779 --> 00:23:39.120
 spent

00:23:39.120 --> 00:23:39.440
 his

00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:39.840
 whole

00:23:39.840 --> 00:23:40.180
 life

00:23:40.180 --> 00:23:40.700
 trying

00:23:40.700 --> 00:23:40.880
 to

00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:41.299
 secure

00:23:41.299 --> 00:23:41.519
 the

00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:41.880
 blessing

00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:42.400
 through

00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:42.680
 his

00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:42.960
 own

00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:43.360
 efforts

00:23:43.360 --> 00:23:43.559
 and

00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:43.819
 yes

00:23:43.819 --> 00:23:44.299
 he

00:23:44.299 --> 00:23:44.500
 got

00:23:44.500 --> 00:23:44.660
 the

00:23:44.660 --> 00:23:45.039
 blessing

00:23:45.039 --> 00:24:15.039


00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:15.339
 Jacob

00:24:15.339 --> 00:24:15.339


00:24:15.339 --> 00:24:15.599
 will

00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:15.819
 have

00:24:15.819 --> 00:24:15.980
 this

00:24:15.980 --> 00:24:16.339
 blessing

00:24:16.339 --> 00:24:16.740
 he

00:24:16.740 --> 00:24:17.079
 didn't

00:24:17.079 --> 00:24:17.240
 have

00:24:17.240 --> 00:24:17.379
 to

00:24:17.379 --> 00:24:17.720
 scheme

00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:17.980
 to

00:24:17.980 --> 00:24:18.200
 make

00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:19.619
 come

00:24:19.619 --> 00:24:19.879
 true

00:24:19.879 --> 00:24:21.779
 and

00:24:21.779 --> 00:24:22.399
 as

00:24:22.399 --> 00:24:22.579
 with

00:24:22.579 --> 00:24:22.899
 Jacob

00:24:22.899 --> 00:24:23.980
 that's

 also

 forsake

00:24:33.399 --> 00:24:33.619
 you

 our

00:24:39.879 --> 00:24:40.119
 lowest

00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:40.559
 points

00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:41.659
 that

00:24:41.659 --> 00:24:41.799
 we

00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:41.940
 are

00:24:43.000 --> 00:24:43.380

 in

00:24:45.280 --> 00:24:45.640
 our

00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:47.000

 us

00:24:51.680 --> 00:24:52.860
 Emmanuel

00:24:52.860 --> 00:24:54.860
 because

00:24:54.860 --> 00:24:55.480
 what

00:24:55.480 --> 00:24:55.980
 Jacob

00:24:55.980 --> 00:24:56.340
 saw

00:24:56.340 --> 00:24:56.580
 that

00:24:56.580 --> 00:24:56.820
 night

00:24:56.820 --> 00:24:57.620
 was

00:24:57.620 --> 00:24:58.100
 only

00:24:58.100 --> 00:24:58.640
 a

00:24:58.640 --> 00:24:59.000
 glimpse

00:24:59.000 --> 00:24:59.820
 of

00:24:59.820 --> 00:25:00.220
 something

00:25:00.220 --> 00:25:00.640
 far

00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:00.880
 greater

00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:01.020
 it

00:25:01.020 --> 00:25:01.100
 was

00:25:01.100 --> 00:25:01.280
 a

00:25:01.280 --> 00:25:01.620
 shadow

00:25:01.620 --> 00:25:02.100
 of

00:25:02.100 --> 00:25:02.380
 something

00:25:02.380 --> 00:25:02.580
 to

00:25:02.580 --> 00:25:02.860
 come

00:25:02.860 --> 00:25:04.300
 God

00:25:04.300 --> 00:25:04.800
 appeared

00:25:04.800 --> 00:25:05.160
 to

00:25:05.160 --> 00:25:05.480
 Jacob

00:25:05.480 --> 00:25:05.720
 in

00:25:05.720 --> 00:25:05.860
 a

00:25:05.860 --> 00:25:06.080
 dream

00:25:06.080 --> 00:25:07.140
 but

00:25:07.140 --> 00:25:07.460
 years

00:25:07.460 --> 00:25:07.800
 later

00:25:07.800 --> 00:25:08.080
 many

00:25:08.080 --> 00:25:08.360

00:25:08.360 --> 00:25:08.660
 later

00:25:08.660 --> 00:25:09.980
 God

00:25:09.980 --> 00:25:10.300
 the

00:25:10.300 --> 00:25:10.640
 eternal

00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:10.880
 son

00:25:10.880 --> 00:25:11.020
 of

00:25:11.020 --> 00:25:11.300
 God

00:25:11.300 --> 00:25:12.160
 he

00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:12.440
 took

00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:12.740
 on

00:25:12.740 --> 00:25:13.140
 flesh

00:25:13.140 --> 00:25:14.000
 and

00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:14.300
 came

00:25:14.300 --> 00:25:14.519
 to

00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:14.920

00:25:16.660 --> 00:25:16.779
 how

00:25:16.779 --> 00:25:17.019

00:25:17.019 --> 00:25:17.300
 appeared

00:30:13.799 --> 00:30:14.200
 special

00:30:14.200 --> 00:30:15.259
 because

00:30:18.620 --> 00:30:18.880
 just

 God

00:30:20.039 --> 00:30:20.420
 has

 recognizes

00:30:21.660 --> 00:30:21.980
 that

00:30:25.500 --> 00:30:26.759
 Jacob

00:30:26.759 --> 00:30:27.319
 responds

00:30:27.319 --> 00:30:28.059
 with reverence

00:30:28.059 --> 00:30:28.480
 and awe

00:30:28.480 --> 00:30:29.019
 and

00:30:29.019 --> 00:30:29.500
 similarly

00:30:29.500 --> 00:30:29.880
 here

00:30:29.880 --> 00:30:30.100
 there's

00:30:30.100 --> 00:30:30.279
 nothing

00:30:30.279 --> 00:30:30.640
 special

00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:30.860
 about

00:30:33.620 --> 00:30:34.080
 special

00:30:34.080 --> 00:30:34.380
 because

00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:38.319
 encounter

00:30:38.319 --> 00:30:38.640
 God

00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:38.819
 as

 what

 makes

00:30:44.819 --> 00:30:45.019
 a

00:30:45.019 --> 00:30:45.220
 vow

00:30:45.220 --> 00:30:45.539
 listen

00:30:45.539 --> 00:30:46.100
 to

00:30:46.100 --> 00:30:46.200
 what

00:30:46.299 --> 00:30:46.559
 says

00:30:46.559 --> 00:30:47.620
 and

00:30:47.620 --> 00:30:48.080
 this

00:30:48.080 --> 00:30:48.200
 is

00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:48.539
 interesting

00:30:48.539 --> 00:30:48.759
 because

00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:49.120
 Jacob

00:30:49.120 --> 00:30:49.759
 he

00:30:49.759 --> 00:30:50.220
 has

00:30:50.220 --> 00:30:50.660
 all

00:30:50.660 --> 00:30:51.860
 reverence

00:30:51.860 --> 00:30:52.759
 worship

00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:53.519
 and

00:30:53.519 --> 00:30:53.680
 now

00:30:53.680 --> 00:30:53.920
 listen

00:30:53.920 --> 00:30:54.059
 to

00:30:54.059 --> 00:30:54.160
 what

00:30:54.160 --> 00:30:54.259
 he

00:30:54.259 --> 00:30:54.440
 says

00:30:54.440 --> 00:30:54.620
 he's

00:30:54.620 --> 00:30:54.819
 making

00:30:54.819 --> 00:30:55.000
 this

00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:55.200
 vow

00:30:55.200 --> 00:30:56.100
 then

00:30:56.100 --> 00:30:56.380
 Jacob

00:30:56.380 --> 00:30:56.620
 made

00:30:56.620 --> 00:30:56.740
 a

00:30:56.740 --> 00:30:56.940
 vow

00:30:56.940 --> 00:30:57.319
 saying

00:30:57.319 --> 00:30:58.660
 if

00:30:58.660 --> 00:30:59.059
 God

00:30:59.059 --> 00:30:59.200
 will

00:30:59.200 --> 00:30:59.340
 be

00:30:59.340 --> 00:30:59.559
 with

00:30:59.559 --> 00:30:59.799
 me

00:30:59.799 --> 00:31:00.319
 and

00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:00.500
 will

00:31:00.500 --> 00:31:00.740
 keep

00:31:00.740 --> 00:31:00.860
 me

00:31:00.860 --> 00:31:00.960
 in

00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:01.039
 the

00:31:01.039 --> 00:31:01.160
 way

00:31:01.160 --> 00:31:01.279
 I

00:31:01.279 --> 00:31:01.420
 go

00:31:01.420 --> 00:31:01.779
 and

00:31:01.779 --> 00:31:01.960
 will

00:31:01.960 --> 00:31:02.160
 give

00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:02.299
 me

00:31:02.299 --> 00:31:02.480
 bread

00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:02.640
 to

00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:02.780
 eat

00:31:02.780 --> 00:31:02.900
 and

00:31:02.900 --> 00:31:03.140
 clothing

00:31:03.140 --> 00:31:03.320
 to

00:31:03.320 --> 00:31:03.460
 wear

00:31:03.460 --> 00:31:04.020
 so

00:31:04.020 --> 00:31:04.380
 that

00:31:04.380 --> 00:31:04.820
 I

00:31:04.820 --> 00:31:05.040
 come

00:31:05.040 --> 00:31:05.340
 again

00:31:05.340 --> 00:31:05.600
 to

00:31:05.600 --> 00:31:05.759
 my

00:31:05.759 --> 00:31:06.120
 father's

00:31:06.120 --> 00:31:06.320
 house

00:31:06.320 --> 00:31:06.540
 in

00:31:06.540 --> 00:31:06.820
 peace

00:31:06.820 --> 00:31:08.300
 then

00:31:08.300 --> 00:31:08.900
 the

00:31:08.900 --> 00:31:09.100
 Lord

00:31:09.100 --> 00:31:09.320
 shall

00:31:09.320 --> 00:31:09.480
 be

00:31:09.480 --> 00:31:09.660
 my

00:31:09.660 --> 00:31:09.920
 God

00:31:09.920 --> 00:31:10.180
 and

00:31:10.180 --> 00:31:10.320

00:31:10.320 --> 00:31:10.580
 stone

00:31:10.580 --> 00:31:10.780
 which

00:31:10.780 --> 00:31:10.920
 I

00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:11.000
 have

00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:11.160
 set

00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:11.300
 up

00:31:11.300 --> 00:31:11.440
 for

00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:11.759
 pillars

00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:11.980
 shall

00:31:11.980 --> 00:31:12.200
 be

00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:12.780
 God's

00:31:12.780 --> 00:31:13.000
 house

00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:13.520
 and

00:31:13.520 --> 00:31:13.660
 of

00:31:13.660 --> 00:31:14.060
 all

00:31:14.060 --> 00:31:14.259
 that

00:31:14.259 --> 00:31:14.360
 you

00:31:14.360 --> 00:31:14.540
 give

00:31:14.540 --> 00:31:14.720
 me

00:31:14.720 --> 00:31:15.180
 I'll

00:31:15.180 --> 00:31:15.320
 give

00:31:15.320 --> 00:31:15.440
 you

00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:15.560
 a

00:31:15.560 --> 00:31:15.700
 full

00:31:15.700 --> 00:31:16.020
 tenth

00:31:16.020 --> 00:31:16.520
 to

00:31:16.520 --> 00:31:16.759
 you

00:31:16.759 --> 00:31:18.300
 do

00:31:18.300 --> 00:31:18.380
 you

00:31:18.380 --> 00:31:18.540
 hear

00:31:18.540 --> 00:31:18.780
 that

00:31:18.780 --> 00:31:20.040
 this

00:31:20.040 --> 00:31:20.140
 is

00:31:20.140 --> 00:31:20.280
 what

00:31:20.280 --> 00:31:20.500
 God

00:31:20.500 --> 00:31:20.680
 said

00:31:20.680 --> 00:31:20.820
 to

00:31:20.820 --> 00:31:21.120
 Jacob

00:31:21.120 --> 00:31:22.320
 I

00:31:22.320 --> 00:31:22.640
 am

00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:22.900
 with

00:31:22.900 --> 00:31:23.100
 you

00:31:23.100 --> 00:31:24.040
 I

00:31:24.040 --> 00:31:24.259
 will

00:31:24.259 --> 00:31:24.560
 keep

00:31:24.560 --> 00:31:24.759
 you

00:31:24.759 --> 00:31:25.740
 I

00:31:25.740 --> 00:31:25.920
 will

00:31:32.640 --> 00:31:32.880
 God

00:31:32.880 --> 00:31:33.020
 will

00:31:33.020 --> 00:31:33.300
 keep

00:31:33.300 --> 00:31:33.460
 me

00:31:33.460 --> 00:31:33.720
 if

00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:33.940
 I

00:31:33.940 --> 00:31:34.200
 come

00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:34.380
 back

00:31:34.380 --> 00:31:34.800
 safely

00:31:34.800 --> 00:31:35.400
 God

00:31:35.400 --> 00:31:35.700
 says

00:31:35.700 --> 00:31:36.040
 I

00:31:36.040 --> 00:31:36.259
 will

00:31:36.259 --> 00:31:36.460
 do

00:31:36.460 --> 00:31:36.580
 it

00:31:36.580 --> 00:31:36.720
 I

00:31:36.720 --> 00:31:36.860
 will

00:31:36.860 --> 00:31:37.040
 do

00:31:37.040 --> 00:31:37.240
 it

00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:37.840
 and

00:31:37.840 --> 00:31:38.080
 Jacob

00:31:38.080 --> 00:31:38.400
 says

00:31:38.400 --> 00:31:38.680
 if

00:31:38.680 --> 00:31:38.860
 you

00:31:38.860 --> 00:31:39.080
 will

00:31:39.080 --> 00:31:40.880
 that

00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:41.080
 sounds

00:31:41.080 --> 00:31:41.240
 a bit

00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:41.520
 strange

00:31:41.520 --> 00:31:41.740
 doesn't

00:31:41.740 --> 00:31:41.960
 it

00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:43.160
 God

00:31:43.160 --> 00:31:43.380
 has

00:31:43.380 --> 00:31:43.600
 just

00:31:43.600 --> 00:31:44.040
 promised

00:31:44.040 --> 00:31:44.500
 all

00:31:44.500 --> 00:31:44.700
 these

00:31:44.700 --> 00:31:44.960
 things

00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:45.259
 to be

00:31:45.259 --> 00:31:45.420
 with

00:31:45.420 --> 00:31:45.600
 Jacob

00:31:45.600 --> 00:31:45.920
 protect

00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:46.060
 him

00:31:46.060 --> 00:31:46.740
 unconditionally

00:31:46.740 --> 00:31:47.380
 and

00:31:47.380 --> 00:31:47.680
 Jacob

00:31:47.680 --> 00:31:48.200
 responds

00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:48.660
 if

00:31:48.660 --> 00:31:49.060
 God

00:31:49.060 --> 00:31:49.320
 will

00:31:49.320 --> 00:31:49.500
 be

00:31:49.500 --> 00:31:49.720
 with

00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:49.960
 me

00:31:49.960 --> 00:31:51.240
 now

00:31:51.240 --> 00:31:51.340
 I

00:31:51.340 --> 00:31:51.460
 just

00:31:51.460 --> 00:31:51.580
 want

00:31:51.580 --> 00:31:51.640
 to

00:31:51.640 --> 00:31:51.940
 clarify

00:31:51.940 --> 00:31:52.280
 some

00:31:52.280 --> 00:31:52.759
 scholars

00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:53.060
 say

00:31:53.060 --> 00:31:53.300
 this

00:31:53.300 --> 00:31:53.460
 is

00:31:53.460 --> 00:31:53.620
 the

00:31:53.620 --> 00:31:53.960
 normal

00:31:53.960 --> 00:31:54.300
 way

00:31:54.300 --> 00:31:54.860
 you

00:31:54.860 --> 00:31:55.080
 might

00:31:55.080 --> 00:31:55.380
 make

00:31:55.380 --> 00:31:55.520
 a

00:31:55.520 --> 00:31:55.640
 vow

00:31:55.640 --> 00:31:58.960
 God

00:31:58.960 --> 00:31:59.280
 if

00:31:59.280 --> 00:31:59.440
 you

00:31:59.440 --> 00:31:59.620
 do

00:31:59.620 --> 00:31:59.820
 this

00:31:59.820 --> 00:31:59.960
 or

00:31:59.960 --> 00:32:00.140
 that

00:32:00.140 --> 00:32:00.320
 then

00:32:00.320 --> 00:32:00.460
 I

00:32:00.460 --> 00:32:00.860
 respond

00:32:00.860 --> 00:32:01.060
 with

00:32:01.060 --> 00:32:01.180
 the

00:32:01.180 --> 00:32:01.420
 vow

00:32:01.420 --> 00:32:01.720
 I

00:32:01.720 --> 00:32:01.860
 will

00:32:01.860 --> 00:32:02.280
 fulfill

00:32:02.280 --> 00:32:02.640
 these

00:32:02.640 --> 00:32:03.220
 obligations

00:32:03.220 --> 00:32:04.140
 and

00:32:04.140 --> 00:32:04.300
 that

00:32:04.300 --> 00:32:04.560
 Jacob

00:32:04.560 --> 00:32:05.040
 could

00:32:05.040 --> 00:32:05.280
 be

00:32:05.280 --> 00:32:05.680
 expressing

00:32:05.680 --> 00:32:06.480
 genuine

00:32:06.480 --> 00:32:06.860
 faith

00:32:06.860 --> 00:32:07.040
 in

00:32:07.040 --> 00:32:07.280
 making

00:32:07.280 --> 00:32:07.500
 this

00:32:07.500 --> 00:32:07.700
 vow

00:32:07.700 --> 00:32:08.940
 but

00:32:08.940 --> 00:32:09.060
 I

00:32:09.060 --> 00:32:09.240
 think

00:32:09.240 --> 00:32:09.680
 when

00:32:09.680 --> 00:32:09.880
 we

00:32:09.880 --> 00:32:10.420
 compare

00:32:10.420 --> 00:32:11.259
 God's

00:32:11.259 --> 00:32:11.900
 unconditional

00:32:11.900 --> 00:32:12.420
 promises

00:32:12.420 --> 00:32:12.780
 here

00:32:12.780 --> 00:32:13.500
 with

00:32:13.500 --> 00:32:13.940
 Jacob's

00:32:13.940 --> 00:32:14.460
 conditional

00:32:14.460 --> 00:32:15.020
 response

00:32:15.020 --> 00:32:15.500
 and

00:32:15.500 --> 00:32:15.700
 also

00:32:15.700 --> 00:32:15.860
 when

00:32:15.860 --> 00:32:15.940
 we

00:32:15.940 --> 00:32:16.180
 look

00:32:16.180 --> 00:32:16.320
 at

00:32:16.320 --> 00:32:16.460
 the

00:32:16.460 --> 00:32:16.720
 rest

00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:16.880
 of

00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:17.320
 Jacob's

00:32:17.320 --> 00:32:17.520
 life

00:32:17.520 --> 00:32:17.640
 and

00:32:17.640 --> 00:32:17.860
 how

00:32:17.860 --> 00:32:18.100
 he's

00:32:18.100 --> 00:32:18.420
 always

00:32:18.420 --> 00:32:18.800
 grabbing

00:32:18.800 --> 00:32:19.040
 at

00:32:19.040 --> 00:32:19.220
 the

00:32:19.220 --> 00:32:19.440
 heel

00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:20.320
 it's

00:32:20.320 --> 00:32:20.759
 clear

00:32:20.759 --> 00:32:20.940
 to

00:32:20.940 --> 00:32:21.120
 me

00:32:21.120 --> 00:32:21.460
 that

00:32:21.460 --> 00:32:23.160
 Jacob

00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:23.980
 still

00:32:23.980 --> 00:32:24.480
 has

00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:25.200
 a lot

00:32:25.640 --> 00:32:26.300
 about

00:32:26.300 --> 00:32:26.740
 trusting

00:32:26.740 --> 00:32:27.200
 God

00:32:27.200 --> 00:32:28.880
 Jacob

00:32:28.880 --> 00:32:29.280
 has

00:32:29.280 --> 00:32:29.880
 encountered

00:32:29.880 --> 00:32:30.520
 God

00:32:30.520 --> 00:32:32.180
 God

00:32:32.180 --> 00:32:32.660
 met

00:32:32.660 --> 00:32:33.060
 Jacob

00:32:33.060 --> 00:32:33.420
 in a

00:32:33.420 --> 00:32:33.620
 dream

00:32:33.620 --> 00:32:33.800
 but

00:32:33.800 --> 00:32:34.060
 this

00:32:34.060 --> 00:32:34.220
 is

00:32:34.220 --> 00:32:34.800
 only

00:32:34.800 --> 00:32:35.000
 the

00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:35.300
 beginning

00:32:35.300 --> 00:32:35.560
 this

00:32:35.560 --> 00:32:35.700
 is

00:32:35.700 --> 00:32:36.020
 one

00:32:36.020 --> 00:32:36.500
 step

00:32:36.500 --> 00:32:37.220
 in

00:32:37.220 --> 00:32:37.500
 Jacob

00:32:37.500 --> 00:32:37.940
 learning

00:32:37.940 --> 00:32:38.259
 to

00:32:38.259 --> 00:32:38.600
 trust

00:32:38.600 --> 00:32:38.840
 him

00:32:38.840 --> 00:32:39.820
 and

00:32:39.820 --> 00:32:39.900
 I

00:32:39.900 --> 00:32:40.020
 think

00:32:40.020 --> 00:32:40.200
 this

00:32:40.200 --> 00:32:40.320
 is

00:32:40.320 --> 00:32:40.660
 important

00:32:40.660 --> 00:32:40.840
 for

00:32:40.840 --> 00:32:41.060
 us

00:32:41.060 --> 00:32:41.280
 to

00:32:41.280 --> 00:32:41.440
 think

00:32:41.440 --> 00:32:41.640
 about

00:32:41.640 --> 00:32:41.860
 as

00:32:41.860 --> 00:32:42.020
 well

00:32:42.020 --> 00:32:43.320
 if

00:32:43.320 --> 00:32:43.420
 we

00:32:43.420 --> 00:32:43.820
 look

00:32:43.820 --> 00:32:43.940
 at

00:32:43.940 --> 00:32:44.300
 Jacob's

00:32:44.300 --> 00:32:44.480
 life

00:32:44.480 --> 00:32:44.620
 and

00:32:44.620 --> 00:32:44.840
 think

00:32:44.840 --> 00:32:45.080
 about

00:32:45.080 --> 00:32:45.440
 our

00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:45.980
 experience

00:32:45.980 --> 00:32:46.120
 of

00:32:46.120 --> 00:32:46.580
 encountering

00:32:46.580 --> 00:32:46.820
 God

00:32:46.820 --> 00:32:48.920
 first

00:32:48.920 --> 00:32:49.120
 there's

00:32:49.120 --> 00:32:49.560
 a

00:32:49.560 --> 00:32:49.940
 difference

00:32:49.940 --> 00:32:50.460
 between

00:32:50.460 --> 00:32:51.800
 knowing

00:32:51.800 --> 00:32:52.480
 about

00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:52.960
 God

00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:53.880
 to

00:32:53.880 --> 00:32:54.480
 personally

00:32:54.480 --> 00:32:55.240
 putting

00:32:55.240 --> 00:32:55.519
 our

00:32:55.519 --> 00:32:55.819
 faith

00:32:55.819 --> 00:32:56.059
 in

00:32:56.059 --> 00:32:56.279
 him

00:32:56.279 --> 00:32:57.079
 and

00:32:57.079 --> 00:32:57.539
 also

00:32:57.539 --> 00:32:58.420
 growing

00:32:58.420 --> 00:32:58.859
 in

00:32:58.859 --> 00:32:59.019
 our

00:32:59.019 --> 00:32:59.339
 faith

00:32:59.339 --> 00:33:00.759
 think

00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:01.099
 about

00:33:01.099 --> 00:33:01.359
 our

00:33:01.359 --> 00:33:01.660
 lives

00:33:01.660 --> 00:33:02.319
 maybe

00:33:02.319 --> 00:33:03.420
 just

00:33:03.420 --> 00:33:03.599
 like

 up

00:33:06.220 --> 00:33:06.720
 hearing

00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:07.220
 about

00:33:07.220 --> 00:33:07.620
 God

00:33:07.620 --> 00:33:07.859
 your

00:33:07.859 --> 00:33:08.160
 whole

00:34:06.299 --> 00:34:06.480
 him

00:34:06.480 --> 00:34:06.940
 and

00:34:06.940 --> 00:34:07.359
 even

00:34:07.359 --> 00:34:07.759
 just

00:34:07.759 --> 00:34:07.940
 like

00:34:07.940 --> 00:34:08.219
 Jacob

00:34:08.219 --> 00:34:08.820
 after

00:34:08.820 --> 00:34:09.260
 we've

00:34:09.260 --> 00:34:09.780
 encountered

00:34:09.780 --> 00:34:10.260
 God

00:34:10.260 --> 00:34:11.119
 don't

00:34:11.119 --> 00:34:11.280
 we

00:34:11.280 --> 00:34:11.559
 still

00:34:11.559 --> 00:34:12.119
 also

00:34:12.119 --> 00:34:12.840
 have

00:34:12.840 --> 00:34:13.199
 doubts

00:34:13.199 --> 00:34:13.960
 sometimes

00:34:13.960 --> 00:34:15.480
 maybe

00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:15.699
 you

00:34:15.699 --> 00:34:15.880
 have

00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:15.980
 an

00:34:15.980 --> 00:34:16.440

00:34:17.519 --> 00:34:17.840
 where

00:34:17.840 --> 00:34:18.059
 you've

00:34:18.059 --> 00:34:18.179
 been

00:34:48.059 --> 00:34:48.259
 also

00:34:48.259 --> 00:34:48.880
 sometimes

00:34:48.880 --> 00:34:49.360
 worry

00:34:49.360 --> 00:34:49.980
 and

00:34:49.980 --> 00:34:50.360
 bargain

00:34:50.360 --> 00:34:50.599
 with

00:34:50.599 --> 00:34:50.940
 God

00:34:50.940 --> 00:34:51.380
 like

00:34:51.380 --> 00:34:51.840
 Jacob

00:34:51.840 --> 00:34:52.360
 we

00:34:52.360 --> 00:34:52.599
 still

00:34:52.599 --> 00:34:52.840
 have

00:34:54.340 --> 00:34:55.599
 that

00:34:55.599 --> 00:34:55.840
 God

00:34:55.840 --> 00:34:56.119
 if

00:34:56.119 --> 00:34:56.279
 you

00:34:56.279 --> 00:34:56.619

00:34:57.679 --> 00:34:58.079
 then

 I'll

00:34:59.119 --> 00:34:59.460
 seriously

00:34:59.460 --> 00:34:59.699
 then

00:34:59.699 --> 00:34:59.880
 I'll

00:34:59.880 --> 00:35:00.139

00:35:02.900 --> 00:35:03.320

 I

00:35:03.539 --> 00:35:03.659
 will

00:35:06.619 --> 00:35:07.980
 God

00:35:07.980 --> 00:35:08.500

00:35:09.179 --> 00:35:09.679
 situation

00:35:09.679 --> 00:35:10.320
 then

00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:10.880
 I

00:35:10.880 --> 00:35:11.019
 will

00:35:11.680 --> 00:35:12.039
 only

00:35:12.039 --> 00:35:12.380
 then

00:35:12.380 --> 00:35:14.380
 Jacob

00:35:14.380 --> 00:35:15.140
 encountered

 God's

00:35:15.580 --> 00:35:15.780

00:35:17.019 --> 00:35:17.820
 but

00:35:17.820 --> 00:35:18.420
 he's

00:35:18.420 --> 00:35:18.840
 only

00:35:18.840 --> 00:35:19.760

00:35:20.960 --> 00:35:21.320
 what

00:35:26.580 --> 00:35:27.160
 Jacob

00:35:27.160 --> 00:35:27.840
 will

00:35:27.840 --> 00:35:28.039
 be

00:35:36.539 --> 00:35:36.840
 as

 his

00:35:37.059 --> 00:35:38.120
 two

00:35:40.659 --> 00:35:40.899
 there's

00:35:40.899 --> 00:35:41.339
 tension

00:35:41.339 --> 00:35:42.839
 within

 the

00:35:43.039 --> 00:35:43.379
 family

00:35:43.379 --> 00:35:44.219

00:35:44.219 --> 00:35:44.799
 Jacob

00:35:44.799 --> 00:35:45.159
 will

00:35:45.159 --> 00:35:45.420
 have

00:35:47.679 --> 00:35:48.379
 and

00:35:48.379 --> 00:35:49.039
 learn

00:35:49.039 --> 00:35:49.279
 that

00:35:49.279 --> 00:35:49.460
 he

00:35:49.460 --> 00:35:49.819
 can't

00:35:49.819 --> 00:35:49.980
 do

00:35:49.980 --> 00:35:50.119
 it

00:35:50.119 --> 00:35:50.299
 by

00:35:50.299 --> 00:35:50.539
 his

00:35:50.539 --> 00:35:50.819
 strength

00:35:50.819 --> 00:35:51.379
 he can't

00:35:51.379 --> 00:35:51.559
 win

00:35:51.559 --> 00:35:51.759
 that

00:35:51.759 --> 00:35:52.039
 fight

00:35:52.039 --> 00:35:53.039
 and

00:35:53.039 --> 00:35:53.259
 he can

00:35:53.259 --> 00:35:53.480
 only

00:35:53.480 --> 00:35:53.759
 ask

00:35:53.759 --> 00:35:53.980
 God

00:35:53.980 --> 00:35:54.119
 for

00:35:54.119 --> 00:35:54.239
 the

00:35:54.239 --> 00:35:54.559
 blessing

00:35:54.559 --> 00:35:56.839
 God

00:35:56.839 --> 00:35:57.519
 walks

00:35:57.519 --> 00:35:58.199
 with

00:35:58.199 --> 00:35:58.539
 Jacob

00:35:58.539 --> 00:35:59.039
 despite

00:35:59.039 --> 00:35:59.319
 his

00:35:59.319 --> 00:35:59.779
 imperfect

00:35:59.779 --> 00:36:00.359

00:36:00.359 --> 00:36:01.079
 God

00:36:01.079 --> 00:36:01.259
 is

00:36:01.259 --> 00:36:01.739
 teaching

00:36:01.739 --> 00:36:02.159
 Jacob

00:36:02.159 --> 00:36:02.659

00:36:03.179 --> 00:36:03.500
 doesn't

00:36:03.500 --> 00:36:03.879
 depend

00:36:03.879 --> 00:36:04.139
 on

00:36:04.139 --> 00:36:04.379
 how

00:36:04.379 --> 00:36:04.739

00:36:04.739 --> 00:36:04.980
 he

00:36:04.980 --> 00:36:05.159
 is

00:36:05.159 --> 00:36:05.679
 how

00:36:05.679 --> 00:36:05.859
 well

00:36:05.859 --> 00:36:05.980
 he

00:36:05.980 --> 00:36:06.139
 can

00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:08.039
 how

00:36:08.039 --> 00:36:08.380
 firmly

00:36:08.380 --> 00:36:08.559
 he

00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:08.679
 can

00:36:08.679 --> 00:36:08.920
 grasp

00:36:08.920 --> 00:36:09.059
 the

00:36:09.059 --> 00:36:09.360
 blessing

00:36:09.360 --> 00:36:10.079
 his

00:36:10.079 --> 00:36:10.500
 future

00:36:10.500 --> 00:36:11.139
 rests

00:36:11.139 --> 00:36:11.400
 in

00:36:11.400 --> 00:36:11.599
 the

00:36:11.599 --> 00:36:11.920
 hands

00:36:11.920 --> 00:36:12.119
 of

00:36:12.119 --> 00:36:12.380
 God

00:36:12.380 --> 00:36:12.539
 who

00:36:12.539 --> 00:36:13.059
 promised

00:36:13.059 --> 00:36:13.619
 to

00:36:15.219 --> 00:36:15.420
 that's

00:36:15.420 --> 00:36:15.500
 what

00:36:15.500 --> 00:36:15.739
 God

00:36:15.739 --> 00:36:15.900
 is

00:36:15.900 --> 00:36:16.179

00:36:16.460 --> 00:36:16.839
 as well

00:36:16.839 --> 00:36:17.679
 it may

00:36:17.679 --> 00:36:17.900
 take

00:36:17.900 --> 00:36:18.119
 time

00:36:18.119 --> 00:36:18.440
 to learn

 this

00:36:18.619 --> 00:36:18.980
 lesson

00:36:18.980 --> 00:36:19.719
 it may

 take

00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:20.179
 pain

00:36:20.179 --> 00:36:20.339
 and

00:36:20.339 --> 00:36:20.699
 suffering

00:36:20.699 --> 00:36:22.159
 God

 wants

00:36:22.579 --> 00:36:22.799

00:36:24.079 --> 00:36:24.420
 us

00:36:24.420 --> 00:36:24.920

 trust

00:36:25.480 --> 00:36:25.619
 him

00:36:25.619 --> 00:36:25.860

00:36:25.860 --> 00:36:26.119
 you're

00:36:26.119 --> 00:36:26.360
 worried

00:36:26.360 --> 00:36:26.559
 about

00:36:26.559 --> 00:36:26.739
 your

00:36:26.739 --> 00:36:27.039
 career

00:36:27.039 --> 00:36:28.019
 what

00:36:28.019 --> 00:36:28.159
 does

00:36:28.159 --> 00:36:28.259
 it

00:36:28.259 --> 00:36:28.380
 mean

00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:30.259
 means

00:36:30.259 --> 00:36:30.619
 doing

00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:38.299
 so you

00:36:38.299 --> 00:36:38.460
 can

00:36:38.460 --> 00:36:38.880
 have

00:36:38.880 --> 00:36:39.279
 time

00:36:39.279 --> 00:36:40.719
 to

00:36:40.719 --> 00:36:41.460
 spend

00:36:41.460 --> 00:36:41.679
 with

00:36:41.679 --> 00:36:41.940
 God

00:36:41.940 --> 00:36:43.339
 you

00:36:43.339 --> 00:36:43.460
 don't

00:36:43.460 --> 00:36:43.579
 need

00:36:43.579 --> 00:36:43.699
 to

00:36:43.699 --> 00:36:44.079
 exaggerate

00:36:44.079 --> 00:36:44.239
 your

00:36:45.699 --> 00:36:46.039
 integrity

00:36:46.039 --> 00:36:47.079
 because

 your

00:36:47.420 --> 00:36:47.699
 life

00:36:47.699 --> 00:36:47.980
 is

00:36:47.980 --> 00:36:48.119
 in

 God's

00:36:48.420 --> 00:36:48.819
 hands

00:36:48.819 --> 00:36:50.039
 maybe

 you're

00:36:50.319 --> 00:36:50.619

 coming

00:36:53.000 --> 00:36:53.279
 here

00:36:53.279 --> 00:36:53.440
 with

00:36:53.440 --> 00:36:53.559
 a

00:36:53.559 --> 00:36:53.739
 heavy

00:36:53.739 --> 00:36:54.039
 heart

 has

00:36:55.179 --> 00:36:55.380
 hurt

00:36:55.380 --> 00:36:55.619
 you

00:36:55.619 --> 00:36:56.019
 or

00:36:56.019 --> 00:36:56.139
 you're

00:36:56.139 --> 00:36:56.440
 facing

00:36:56.440 --> 00:36:56.659
 an

00:36:56.659 --> 00:36:57.059
 uncertain

00:36:57.059 --> 00:36:57.420

00:36:57.420 --> 00:36:57.599
 you

00:36:57.599 --> 00:36:57.940
 don't

00:36:57.940 --> 00:36:58.159
 know

00:36:58.159 --> 00:36:58.360
 how

00:36:58.360 --> 00:36:58.679
 things

00:36:58.679 --> 00:36:58.839
 will

00:36:58.839 --> 00:36:59.079
 turn

00:36:59.079 --> 00:36:59.339
 out

00:36:59.339 --> 00:37:00.000
 and

00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:00.119
 you

00:37:00.119 --> 00:37:00.360
 don't

00:37:00.360 --> 00:37:00.500
 know

00:37:00.500 --> 00:37:00.659
 what

00:37:00.659 --> 00:37:00.779
 you

00:37:00.779 --> 00:37:00.920
 can

00:37:00.920 --> 00:37:01.079
 do

00:37:01.079 --> 00:37:01.239
 to

00:37:01.239 --> 00:37:01.500
 change

00:37:01.500 --> 00:37:01.659
 the

00:37:01.659 --> 00:37:02.179
 situation

00:37:02.179 --> 00:37:03.299
 what

00:37:03.299 --> 00:37:03.500
 does

00:37:03.500 --> 00:37:03.739
 mean

00:37:03.739 --> 00:37:03.880
 to

00:37:03.880 --> 00:37:04.139
 trust

00:37:04.139 --> 00:37:04.380
 God

00:37:04.380 --> 00:37:04.639
 there

00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:06.239
 doesn't

00:37:06.239 --> 00:37:06.539
 mean

00:37:06.539 --> 00:37:07.679
 pretending

00:37:07.679 --> 00:37:07.900
 that

00:37:07.900 --> 00:37:08.179
 everything

00:37:08.179 --> 00:37:08.420
 is

00:37:08.420 --> 00:37:08.699
 fine

00:37:08.699 --> 00:37:10.539
 but

00:37:10.539 --> 00:37:10.679
 it

00:37:10.679 --> 00:37:10.880
 does

00:37:10.880 --> 00:37:11.159
 mean

00:37:11.159 --> 00:37:11.920
 bringing

00:37:11.920 --> 00:37:12.440
 your

00:37:12.440 --> 00:37:12.800
 fears

00:37:12.800 --> 00:37:13.000
 to

00:37:13.000 --> 00:37:13.199
 God

00:37:13.199 --> 00:37:13.760
 casting

00:37:13.760 --> 00:37:14.179
 all

00:37:14.179 --> 00:37:14.340
 your

00:37:14.340 --> 00:37:14.800
 anxieties

00:37:14.800 --> 00:37:15.119
 on

00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:15.320
 him

00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:15.639
 because

00:37:15.639 --> 00:37:15.860
 he

00:37:15.860 --> 00:37:16.139
 cares

00:37:16.139 --> 00:37:16.360
 for

00:37:16.360 --> 00:37:16.519
 you

00:37:16.519 --> 00:37:17.079
 and

00:37:17.079 --> 00:37:17.380
 still

00:37:17.380 --> 00:37:17.800
 doing

00:37:17.800 --> 00:37:18.000
 what

00:37:18.000 --> 00:37:18.119
 you

00:37:18.119 --> 00:37:18.340
 can

00:37:18.340 --> 00:37:18.840
 faithfully

00:37:18.840 --> 00:37:19.719
 wisely

00:37:19.719 --> 00:37:20.559
 prayerfully

00:37:20.559 --> 00:37:20.940
 with

00:37:20.940 --> 00:37:21.360
 wisdom

00:37:21.360 --> 00:37:22.679
 trusting

00:37:22.679 --> 00:37:22.920
 that

00:37:22.920 --> 00:37:23.260
 even

00:37:23.260 --> 00:37:23.760
 when

00:37:23.760 --> 00:37:23.880
 you

00:37:23.880 --> 00:37:24.159
 can't

00:37:24.159 --> 00:37:24.380
 see

00:37:24.380 --> 00:37:24.539
 the

00:37:24.539 --> 00:37:24.719
 way

00:37:24.719 --> 00:37:25.079
 forward

00:37:25.079 --> 00:37:25.599
 God

00:37:25.599 --> 00:37:25.860
 has

00:37:25.860 --> 00:37:26.159
 not

00:37:26.159 --> 00:37:26.659
 abandoned

00:37:26.659 --> 00:37:26.980
 you

00:37:26.980 --> 00:37:27.460
 he

00:37:27.460 --> 00:37:27.679
 is

00:37:27.679 --> 00:37:27.920
 with

00:37:27.920 --> 00:37:28.059
 you

00:37:28.059 --> 00:37:28.380
 that's

00:37:28.380 --> 00:37:28.500
 the

00:37:28.500 --> 00:37:28.679
 hope

00:37:28.679 --> 00:37:28.840

00:37:29.019 --> 00:37:29.219
 to

00:37:29.219 --> 00:37:30.659
 and

00:37:30.659 --> 00:37:30.880
 that's

00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:31.000
 the

00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:31.440
 promise

00:37:31.440 --> 00:37:31.880
 I

00:37:31.880 --> 00:37:32.059
 want

00:37:32.059 --> 00:37:32.199
 us

00:37:32.199 --> 00:37:32.639
 to

00:37:32.639 --> 00:37:33.139
 leave

00:37:33.139 --> 00:37:33.300
 us

00:37:33.300 --> 00:37:33.480
 with

00:37:33.480 --> 00:37:33.840
 today

00:37:35.500 --> 00:37:35.659
 I've

00:37:35.659 --> 00:37:35.940
 repeated

00:37:35.940 --> 00:37:36.119
 it

00:37:36.119 --> 00:37:36.300
 many

00:37:36.300 --> 00:37:36.699
 times

 he

00:37:48.579 --> 00:37:48.800
 hasn't

00:37:48.800 --> 00:37:49.119
 promised

00:37:49.119 --> 00:37:49.340
 us

00:37:49.340 --> 00:37:49.460
 a

00:37:49.460 --> 00:37:49.679
 life

00:37:49.679 --> 00:37:50.300
 that

00:37:50.300 --> 00:37:50.519
 is

00:37:50.519 --> 00:37:50.820
 without

00:37:50.820 --> 00:37:51.239
 suffering

00:37:51.239 --> 00:37:51.400
 or

00:37:51.400 --> 00:37:51.519
 that

00:37:51.519 --> 00:37:51.900
 everything

00:37:51.900 --> 00:37:52.179
 will

00:37:52.179 --> 00:37:52.519
 always

00:37:52.519 --> 00:37:52.780
 work

00:37:52.780 --> 00:37:52.920
 out

00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:53.059
 the

00:37:53.059 --> 00:37:53.179
 way

00:37:53.179 --> 00:37:53.340
 we

00:37:53.340 --> 00:37:53.599
 want

00:37:53.599 --> 00:37:53.760
 it

00:37:53.760 --> 00:37:54.780
 but

00:37:54.780 --> 00:37:54.940
 in

00:37:54.940 --> 00:37:55.179
 Jesus

00:37:55.179 --> 00:37:55.539
 Christ

00:37:55.539 --> 00:37:55.780
 he

00:37:55.780 --> 00:37:56.000
 says

00:37:56.000 --> 00:37:56.320
 all

00:37:56.320 --> 00:37:56.679
 my

00:37:56.679 --> 00:37:57.119
 promises

00:37:57.119 --> 00:37:57.820
 find

00:37:57.820 --> 00:37:57.940
 their

00:37:57.940 --> 00:37:58.159
 yes

00:37:58.159 --> 00:37:58.320
 in

00:37:58.320 --> 00:37:58.539
 him

00:37:58.539 --> 00:37:58.780
 he

00:37:58.780 --> 00:37:59.019
 will

00:37:59.019 --> 00:37:59.360
 never

00:37:59.360 --> 00:37:59.780
 leave

00:37:59.780 --> 00:38:00.019
 us

00:38:00.019 --> 00:38:00.240
 or

00:38:00.240 --> 00:38:00.679
 forsake

00:38:00.679 --> 00:38:00.960
 us

00:38:00.960 --> 00:38:01.900
 and

00:38:01.900 --> 00:38:02.400
 some

00:38:02.400 --> 00:38:02.519
 of

00:38:02.519 --> 00:38:02.659
 us

00:38:02.659 --> 00:38:02.780
 have

00:38:02.780 --> 00:38:02.880
 been

00:38:02.880 --> 00:38:03.139
 reading

00:38:03.139 --> 00:38:03.360
 through

00:38:03.360 --> 00:38:03.700
 Hebrews

00:38:03.700 --> 00:38:04.119
 together

00:38:04.119 --> 00:38:05.179
 you might

00:38:05.179 --> 00:38:05.460
 have seen

00:38:05.460 --> 00:38:05.900
 Nathan's

00:38:05.900 --> 00:38:06.260
 messages

00:38:06.260 --> 00:38:06.840
 in our

00:38:06.840 --> 00:38:07.320
 group

00:38:07.320 --> 00:38:07.840
 I

00:38:07.840 --> 00:38:08.000
 want

00:38:08.000 --> 00:38:08.179
 us

00:38:08.179 --> 00:38:08.880
 to

00:38:08.880 --> 00:38:09.099
 leave

00:38:09.099 --> 00:38:09.220
 us

00:38:09.220 --> 00:38:09.320
 I

00:38:09.320 --> 00:38:09.460
 thought

00:38:09.460 --> 00:38:09.599
 this

00:38:09.599 --> 00:38:09.720
 was

00:38:09.720 --> 00:38:09.840
 a

00:38:09.840 --> 00:38:10.019
 fitting

00:38:10.019 --> 00:38:10.200
 way

00:38:10.200 --> 00:38:10.340
 to

00:38:10.340 --> 00:38:10.519
 end

00:38:10.519 --> 00:38:10.700
 with

00:38:10.700 --> 00:38:11.320
 yesterday's

00:38:11.320 --> 00:38:11.679
 reading

00:38:11.679 --> 00:38:12.280
 from

00:38:12.280 --> 00:38:12.639
 Hebrews

00:38:12.639 --> 00:38:13.059
 4

00:38:13.059 --> 00:38:13.639
 verses

00:38:13.639 --> 00:38:14.099

00:38:14.099 --> 00:38:14.260
 to

00:38:14.260 --> 00:38:14.679
 16

00:38:14.679 --> 00:38:16.280
 goes

00:38:16.280 --> 00:38:16.460
 like

00:38:16.460 --> 00:38:16.720
 this

00:38:16.720 --> 00:38:17.539
 since

00:38:17.539 --> 00:38:17.800
 then

00:38:17.800 --> 00:38:17.960
 we

00:38:17.960 --> 00:38:18.079
 have

00:38:18.079 --> 00:38:18.179
 a

00:38:18.179 --> 00:38:18.380
 great

00:38:18.380 --> 00:38:18.659
 high

00:38:18.659 --> 00:38:19.000
 priest

00:38:24.940 --> 00:38:25.119
 for

00:38:25.119 --> 00:38:25.119


00:38:25.119 --> 00:38:25.320
 do

00:38:25.320 --> 00:38:25.539
 not

00:38:25.539 --> 00:38:25.760
 have

00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:25.880
 a

00:38:25.880 --> 00:38:26.099
 high

00:38:26.099 --> 00:38:26.360
 priest

00:38:26.360 --> 00:38:26.599
 who

00:38:26.599 --> 00:38:26.740
 is

00:38:26.740 --> 00:38:27.300
 unable

00:38:27.300 --> 00:38:27.900
 to

00:38:27.900 --> 00:38:28.679
 sympathize

00:38:28.679 --> 00:38:28.980
 with

00:38:28.980 --> 00:38:29.200
 our

00:38:29.200 --> 00:38:29.639
 weaknesses

00:38:29.639 --> 00:38:30.400
 but

00:38:30.400 --> 00:38:30.740
 one

00:38:30.740 --> 00:38:31.019
 who

00:38:31.019 --> 00:38:31.200
 in

00:38:31.200 --> 00:38:31.599
 every

00:38:31.599 --> 00:38:32.220
 respect

00:38:32.220 --> 00:38:32.579
 has

00:38:32.579 --> 00:38:32.820
 been

00:38:32.820 --> 00:38:33.200
 tempted

00:38:33.200 --> 00:38:33.780
 as

00:38:33.780 --> 00:38:33.980
 we

00:38:33.980 --> 00:38:34.280
 are

00:38:34.280 --> 00:38:34.860
 yet

00:38:34.860 --> 00:38:35.240
 without

00:38:35.240 --> 00:38:35.639
 sin

00:38:35.639 --> 00:38:36.980
 let

00:38:36.980 --> 00:38:37.360
 us

00:38:37.360 --> 00:38:37.720
 then

00:38:37.720 --> 00:38:38.079
 with

00:38:38.079 --> 00:38:39.019
 confidence

00:38:39.019 --> 00:38:40.000
 draw

00:38:40.000 --> 00:38:40.420
 near

00:38:40.420 --> 00:38:40.880
 to

00:38:40.880 --> 00:38:41.099
 the

00:38:41.099 --> 00:38:41.380
 throne

00:38:41.380 --> 00:38:41.579
 of

00:38:41.579 --> 00:38:41.920
 grace

00:38:41.920 --> 00:38:42.519
 so

00:38:42.519 --> 00:38:42.679
 that

00:38:42.679 --> 00:38:42.840
 we

00:38:42.840 --> 00:38:43.059
 may

00:38:43.059 --> 00:38:43.559
 receive

00:38:43.559 --> 00:38:44.039
 mercy

00:38:44.039 --> 00:38:44.639
 and

00:38:44.639 --> 00:38:44.900
 find

00:38:44.900 --> 00:38:45.200
 grace

00:38:45.200 --> 00:38:45.400
 to

00:38:45.400 --> 00:38:45.679
 help

00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:46.159
 in

00:38:46.159 --> 00:38:46.519
 time

00:38:46.519 --> 00:38:46.780
 of

00:38:46.780 --> 00:38:47.079
 need

00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:49.440
 Jacob

00:38:49.440 --> 00:38:50.019
 was

00:38:50.019 --> 00:38:50.260
 at

00:38:50.260 --> 00:38:50.420
 one

00:38:50.420 --> 00:38:50.539
 of

00:38:50.539 --> 00:38:50.700
 the

00:38:50.700 --> 00:38:50.900
 lowest

00:38:50.900 --> 00:38:50.940
!

00:38:50.940 --> 00:38:51.320
 points

00:38:51.320 --> 00:38:51.519
 in

00:38:51.519 --> 00:38:51.679
 his

00:38:51.679 --> 00:38:52.000
 life

00:38:52.000 --> 00:38:52.440
 at

00:38:52.440 --> 00:38:52.599
 that

00:38:52.599 --> 00:38:52.900
 time

00:38:52.900 --> 00:38:53.519
 Jacob

00:38:53.519 --> 00:38:53.639
 alone

00:38:53.639 --> 00:38:53.820
 in

00:38:53.820 --> 00:38:53.920
 the

00:38:53.920 --> 00:38:54.260
 wilderness

00:38:54.260 --> 00:38:54.780
 running

00:38:54.780 --> 00:38:55.180
 away

00:38:55.180 --> 00:38:55.599
 and

00:38:55.599 --> 00:38:55.920
 God

00:38:55.920 --> 00:38:56.360
 met

00:38:56.360 --> 00:38:56.639
 him

00:38:56.639 --> 00:38:56.980
 there

00:38:56.980 --> 00:38:57.619
 with

00:38:57.619 --> 00:38:58.160
 grace

00:38:58.160 --> 00:38:59.260
 and

00:38:59.260 --> 00:38:59.420
 we

00:38:59.420 --> 00:38:59.639
 have

00:38:59.639 --> 00:39:00.019
 something

00:39:00.019 --> 00:39:00.780
 greater

00:39:00.780 --> 00:39:01.340
 than

00:39:01.340 --> 00:39:01.860
 Jacob's

00:39:01.860 --> 00:39:02.099
 dream

00:39:02.099 --> 00:39:02.760
 we

00:39:02.760 --> 00:39:02.900
 have

00:39:02.900 --> 00:39:03.240
 Jesus

00:39:03.240 --> 00:39:03.740
 Christ

00:39:03.740 --> 00:39:04.119
 our

00:39:04.119 --> 00:39:04.440
 great

00:39:04.440 --> 00:39:04.700
 high

00:39:04.700 --> 00:39:05.059
 priest

00:39:05.059 --> 00:39:06.460
 who

00:39:06.460 --> 00:39:06.680
 made

00:39:06.680 --> 00:39:07.019
 a way

00:39:07.019 --> 00:39:07.500
 for us

00:39:07.500 --> 00:39:07.619
 to

00:39:07.619 --> 00:39:07.920
 heavens

00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:08.940
 who

00:39:08.940 --> 00:39:09.599
 understands

00:39:09.599 --> 00:39:09.840
 our

00:39:09.840 --> 00:39:10.139
 weakness

00:39:10.139 --> 00:39:10.420
 he

00:39:10.420 --> 00:39:10.720
 knows

00:39:10.720 --> 00:39:10.920
 what

00:39:10.920 --> 00:39:11.039
 it

00:39:11.039 --> 00:39:11.160
 is

00:39:11.160 --> 00:39:11.320
 to

00:39:11.320 --> 00:39:11.579
 suffer

00:39:11.579 --> 00:39:11.820
 he

00:39:11.820 --> 00:39:12.320
 bridged

00:39:12.320 --> 00:39:12.660
 the

00:39:12.660 --> 00:39:12.860
 gap

00:39:12.860 --> 00:39:13.139
 between

00:39:13.139 --> 00:39:13.420
 us

00:39:13.420 --> 00:39:13.559
 and

00:39:13.559 --> 00:39:13.820
 God

00:39:13.820 --> 00:39:15.280
 Jacob

00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:15.720
 was

00:39:15.720 --> 00:39:16.000
 weak

00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:16.200
 and

00:39:16.200 --> 00:39:16.720
 undeserving

00:39:16.720 --> 00:39:17.280
 yet

00:39:17.280 --> 00:39:17.519
 God

00:39:17.519 --> 00:39:17.740
 met

00:39:17.740 --> 00:39:17.980
 him

00:39:17.980 --> 00:39:18.700
 he

00:39:18.700 --> 00:39:18.840
 didn't

00:39:18.840 --> 00:39:19.019
 have

00:39:19.019 --> 00:39:19.139
 to

00:39:19.139 --> 00:39:19.420
 climb

00:39:19.420 --> 00:39:19.579
 his

00:39:19.579 --> 00:39:19.740
 way

00:39:19.740 --> 00:39:19.920
 to

00:39:22.900 --> 00:39:23.340
 God

00:39:23.300 --> 00:39:23.940
 boldly

00:39:23.940 --> 00:39:24.660
 come

00:39:24.660 --> 00:39:24.860
 to

00:39:24.860 --> 00:39:25.340
 God's

00:39:25.340 --> 00:39:25.760
 throne

00:39:25.760 --> 00:39:25.980
 of

00:39:25.980 --> 00:39:26.300
 grace

00:39:26.300 --> 00:39:26.940
 and

00:39:26.940 --> 00:39:27.220
 so

00:39:27.220 --> 00:39:27.900
 whatever

00:39:27.900 --> 00:39:28.220
 mess

00:39:28.220 --> 00:39:28.400
 we're
