Turn Turn Away Part 2

July 25, 2023

The Christian life is full of ups and downs.  Times where we’re living a God-honoring life, and other times where we’ve drifted and go back to the flesh.  We see that played out in the life of Jacob today on Sound Doctrine. He’s backsliding.  And you’re about to see what turning away from the Lord looks like, and it’s not pretty.

Today we continue our study in Genesis. When we left Jacob’s story, he was in a good place, now governed by God after a wrestling match.  But like so many of us, he’s about to drift.  Panic sets in and he gets his eyes off the Lord.  Let’s see what we can learn from it all, as we turn together to Genesis chapter 33.

Today on Sound Doctrine we draw your attention to Daniel’s 70th week!  A seven-year period on the horizon, when God will deal with Israel, and pour out His wrath on this earth.  But where is the church when all this goes down?  We’ll hear about that momentarily, as well as a coming invasion upon Israel that involves Russia!  And we’ll also tell you about the antichrist that will put a fast one on the world.

You’ve no doubt seen a sporting event that was a total mismatch from the word go.  Perhaps it was the lowest seed playing the top seeded team.  Today on Sound Doctrine we’ll take a look at the greatest mismatch of all. Jacob is about to enter into a wrestling match with God.

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!
