Genesis 29:30-30:24 – God reveals His Sovereignty in the Chaos. Jacob’s sinful life is producing more sin, and the result is incredible family dysfunction. Don’t let cultural norms determine what is right for your family! Listen to an eye-opening message from Pastor Dave Menard as he unpacks the importance of male leadership in the home and how our love in Jesus is not earned, but given. Even in the mess, Genesis 29:30-30:24 peels open the Scriptures to display God’s Sovereignty in the Chaos.

 

Poor male leadership causes major family dysfunction

To stand strong in faith GOD’S WORD must be in our heart

“He is despised and rejected by men, a Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely, He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.”
