It's a Wonderful Life
Do you view all of life through the lens of grace? This week, we conclude our series looking at the end of Jacob’s life. After all the twists and turns, fits and starts, ups and downs of his life, the mature Jacob becomes a billboard for grace, recognizing God’s care through all that lies behind and rejoicing in God’s blessing for all that lies ahead. It’s one thing to run to grace in a moment of crisis, but what if we allowed God’s relentless grace to reframe our entire life?
From Series: "Relentless Grace: The Life of Jacob"
Most of us believe in God’s grace—at least in theory. But we often struggle to trust it in our everyday lives, so we live with by an internal scoreboard of our successes and failures. Yet over and over again, God uses messy and sinful people (like us) to fulfill his plans. This series follows the life of Jacob as it wanders a twisted path filled with grasping, striving, and deceit as well as redemption, blessing, and beauty. We will see how the gospel triumphs as he learns to lean upon God rather than self. Through his journey, we will learn to grapple with our own shortcomings as we live by faith in God’s relentless grace.
