Hebrews 11 - What is faith? Feb 13, 2024

Show notes

Today we’re reading Hebrews 11 from the New Living Translation.
As you listen (or read) today, check out how much of this chapter is focused on the lives of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob! Maybe you missed a few chapters in Genesis - feel free to go back and listen for examples of how they lived by faith. One example - Jacob's prayer in today's reading of Genesis 32.
Today is your “On Ramp!”

Genesis 32 - Jacob reaches the place of "emptying" Feb 13, 2024

Show notes

Today we’re reading Genesis 32 from the New Living Translation.
R.A.M.P. (READ-APPLY-MEDITATE-PRAY)
READ: Here is something I noticed…

Jacob wrestled with God near the Jabbok River (vs 22).

The name “Jabbok” means “emptying” in Hebrew. It flows from a mountain range, and empties into the Jordan River about halfway between the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea. If you have a map in the back of your Bible, you might be able to see for yourself! As I think about the scene, I can’t help but think of the “emptying” that was happening in Jacob’s heart.
He schemed and manipulated the situation to get the blessing from his father Isaac (as if God needed his help to fulfill His promises). And now, on the eve of seeing his estranged brother Esau, Jacob is in some pretty deep distress. He prays. He reminds God of His promises, and he shares his concern - “I am afraid...” (vs11). Further, Jacob acknowledges “I am unworthy…”
That night Jacob wrestled with God, and God changed his name from “Jacob,” which means “Supplanter”… to “Israel,” which means “God Prevails.”
His name went from a declaration of his own sin and weakness to a declaration of God’s strength and power.

Hebrews 10 - Patient endurance is what you need now! Feb 12, 2024

Show notes

Today we’re reading Hebrews 10 from the New Living Translation.
So much of what we read in this chapter applies to our OT reading today in Genesis 31.
Here were some of my thoughts...
R.A.M.P. (READ-APPLY-MEDITATE-PRAY)
READ: Here is something I noticed…

God will see it even if no one else does (vs 50).

This chapter tells the story of Jacob’s separation from his uncle Laban. As you read the story, you’ll see there were issues & hurt on both sides. As they part ways, they made a covenant together - a promise not pass that place for the purpose of harming one another, and for Jacob a promise that he would not mistreat Laban’s daughters. Jacob and his family set up a pile of rocks as a monument, and they called by a name that means “witness pile.” The truth they acknowledged was this: God was the witness (vs 50) and the judge between them (vs 53) - He would see the actions, even if no one else does.
APPLY:
Remember, and don’t forget that God sees everything. This can be incredibly encouraging - or incredibly convicting!
MEDITATE:
So much of today’s reading in Hebrews 10 applies here! Specifically, check out Hebrews 10:35-39. I hope it encourages you.
PRAY:
Let’s pray to be people who do the right thing… always!
