Pastor Jeff Johnson is leading a study in Genesis right now, and we have an eye on chapter 32.  Jeff has observed three notable events here involving Jacob.  The first was his encounter with angels!  Now today we find him in prayer, and it’s a good one!  In minutes ahead of us you’ll receive some valuable prayer pointers, like being persistent!

Whether we realize it or not as believers, God intervenes in our lives.  And sometimes He even uses angels to minister to and protect us.  Today on Sound Doctrine we’ll see that play out in the life of Jacob as we get back to our study of Genesis.  Pastor Jeff Johnson will give us God’s truth about angels so we can better understand their involvement in our lives.

We’re continuing our study of Genesis, and our plan today is to complete chapter 31.  Throughout this chapter pastor Jeff has observed God stirring the nest in Jacob’s life, allowing certain things to happen to move Jacob along!  And you can be sure, the Lord will do the same for us at times.  If we’re wise we’ll recognize it!

Your flight gets delayed!  The boss says they need to let you go. Or you get a flat tire!  It’s about that time that we might be tempted to throw a pity party.  But consider this today on Sound Doctrine, it could very well be God stirring the nest.  You’ll learn today that He very often interrupts our lives, to move us along to where He wants us to be.  You’ll see that in Jacob’s life as we turn together to Genesis chapter 31.

We’ve been going through Daniel one verse at a time and in chapter nine we’ve dealt with 69 of Daniel’s 70 weeks thus far.  That brings us today to the 70th week and as you’ll see this is something that hasn’t happened yet.  And concerns Israel.  Set aside the next half-hour with us as we see what God is up to in these last days.

We’ve been studying the life and times of Jacob here on Sound Doctrine with pastor Jeff Johnson.  Recently we’ve learned about Jacob’s love life and then his home life.  At this point Jacob isn’t where he needs to be, and so God is about to stir things up. And haven’t you found that to be true in your life?  You’ve strayed a bit, and the Lord stirs the nest to get your where He wants you.  Turn with us to Genesis chapter 31 where we’ll start at verse four.

We’ll be continuing pastor Jeff Johnson’s study of Genesis, and we’ve reached chapter 31.  God has His ways of communicating to and directing us.  As we’ll hear today, it sometimes involves giving us peace, changing our circumstances, or a Word from Him.  He did that for Jacob in this chapter of his life.  So let’s see together the different ways God speaks to us, and how to make sure we’re hearing from God!

We'll be in Genesis chapter thirty.  Here we find a story that, if you didn’t know better, you’d think it was made for TV drama.  We’re witness to Jacob’s home life, and it wasn’t home sweet home if you know what I mean.

Is your home life a big mess and you’re hoping for a turnaround?  Keep it right here for Sound Doctrine, as we visit Genesis chapter thirty and hear all about Jacob’s Home Life.  It too was messy, and fractured, to say the least.  But even still God was at work through it all, and by His grace accomplished great things.

A fractured family… that would describe a good number of homes today.  It’s a rarity for kids to be living under the same roof as Mom and Dad, with divorce as common as it is.  And maybe that’s something you can relate to!   As we turn to Genesis chapter 30 today on Sound Doctrine we’ll give attention to Jacob’s home life, and it’s a real mess.  Pastor Jeff Johnson will utilize our time together to encourage us to allow the Lord to be our home builder and sustainer!

In Daniel nine we read of the 70 weeks of Daniel.  Each week is a seven- year period, and 69 have already happened.  That leaves one seven-year period remaining.  And today pastor Jeff Johnson examines it carefully.  Keep in mind some of this vision has already been fulfilled, and some will be in the future.
