Sermon Series – Jacob, Punk to Patriarch
Jacob’s journey to faith and accepting his place in God’s plan is full of schemes, betrayal, and family dysfunction. Yet, in the midst of the mess, God remains steadfast- offering relationship, provision, purpose, and new life. In Jacob’s story, we see our own mess and God’s saving grace for us as well.

Message: Unlimited Blessing 
Scriptures: Genesis 27:1-38
Offered 9/04/16 at Trinity United Methodist Church, Sarasota Florida

There is a pathos in this text, for the sons as well as for the father. It lies in the awareness that nobody wants to live a life that is unblessed. Nobody wants a life without the special words and gestures that bind that life to a precious past and a promised future.
– Walter Brueggemann from his commentary on Genesis

This message also references the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:1-12), Psalm 103:1-5, and Ephesians 1:3-14
