Product Overview
This comprehensive digital lesson package explores the pivotal transition in the life of Jacob as he flees from his home in Beersheba to Padan Aram. Moving beyond the deception of his past, this study focuses on the divine encounter at Bethel, where God sovereignly confirms the Abrahamic Covenant to a man who—by his own merits—is entirely unworthy.
Ideal for small groups, Sunday school classes, or individual deep dives, this material examines how God uses divine providence, angelic activity, and even personal hardship to transform a “trickster” into a vessel of grace.
