I'm speaking on the story of Jacob this weekend and am having a bit of trouble trying to figure out where to go with it. This year Doug and I are trying to work through a majority of scripture looking through the lens of God's call in Micah 6:8 to do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with God. Our desire is to talk through how the people of God have done this well, failed miserably, or been challenged by God in a new way. We hope to connect the story of God into our story so that we can learn, grow and understand that we are a part of God's story.
So back to my question. Do you feel that only focusing on the reconcilliation part of the story of Jacob misses out on the bigger story of God choosing Jacob to be the one to carry on the promise of Abraham? I've read quite a bit the past couple of days on Jacob and I want to make sure that I do his story justice. Any thoughts?
