New Teaching Series

In this series we return once again to Genesis and this time to the story of Isaac and (particularly) Jacob.  The big issue throughout is that of God’s sovereignty in human history, working out his purposes in the context of individual life-stories, with particular emphasis on human responsibility and learning what it means to live under the government of God.

In the plot-line of Genesis: moving from the call of the individual to the establishment of the nation: from Abraham to Jacob/Israel.  It is generally, from the human side, a story of struggle, mistakes and dysfunction!  The word ‘Jacob’ means a twister, manipulator, deceiver – and so he proved to be.  And yet he was a genuine believer.  So there is hope as well as challenge in this story.
