Rooted Together

Will those who rebel against God succeed forever? That is the question and answer we get in Psalm 2. The world fights against God, but where does that ultimately lead? Let us take a look and find out. #psalms #psalm2 #rebellion #oldtestament #songsforlife'sjourney #rootedtogetherpodcast

Life boils down to two choices. Will we choose God's way or our own way? One way is the path of blessedness, and the other is the wicked path. The path you choose carries with it eternal consequences. Join us for "Songs for Life's Journey ." #rootedtogether #psalms #psalm1 #choices #songsforlife'sjourney #oldtestament

What do we do with the question, "Where is God in times of evil and suffering?" Joseph certainly asked that same question. He provided us with a wonderful answer to aid us in our own times of difficulty. This chapter provides a theological, thematic, and spiritual capstone for the book of Genesis. #Genesis #OldTestament #Suffering #Jacob #Joseph

Jacob is dying. His last words don't simply stay in the book of Genesis, but instead echo throughout the rest of the Biblical narrative. #legacy #Genesis #Genesis 49 #Oldtestament

We don't always know how or why God works the way He does, but we can always trust the God who does. #Genesis #Genesis48 #blessing #Oldtestament

What does godly repentance and reconciliation look like? Let's look at how Joseph and his brothers find the beginning of this journey. Let us see what it says about our relationships and about how we think about pain and evil in the world. #genesis #Oldtestament #Joseph #podcast

After all the trials and troubles that Joseph endured. God restores him, and God's goodness redeems the years of pain. #Gensis #restoration #Genesis41 #OldTestament #Joseph

Have you ever felt forgotten? By God, or by people? You're not alone. In this chapter, Joseph was forgotten, but he was never alone. #Genesis #Old Testament #Joseph #Forgotten

God was with Joseph throughout all of his hardships. #Joseph #Genesis #Gensis39 #Biblepodcast #Biblestudy

What do we make with a chapter that seems so broken? We look to the New Testament to see how God will redeem this broken story. #biblepodcast #Genesis #Genesis38 #Tamar

God can and does redeem our hurts and sufferings for His glory. Joseph's story is one of pain. Loved by his father but hated by his brothers, the stage is set for troubles and trickery. #Genesis #Oldtestament #biblestudy #Joseph

What can we learn from a genealogy? We so often skim over and through biblical genealogies. However, they teach us things. Here we see that God blessed Esau. It also gives us a picture of one of Israel's early enemies. #genealogy #Genesis #Oldtestament #biblestudy

Can God's grace overcome the brokenness of Jacob and his family? He and his family are broken and act in brokenness. Yet God does not wipe his hands of Jacob, far from it. Instead, God renews His blessing to Jacob as an extension of His grace. God's grace can and does overcome our brokenness. So renew your lives to Him today. #Genesis #Oldtestament #biblestudy #Genesis35

What do we do in the face of evil? Do we go to God? Do we scheme our own revenge? Let's take a look at what Jacob and company are going to do. #Genesis #brokenness #Oldtestament #biblepodcast #biblestudy

How will Jacob and Esau reconcile after many years? Will it be by Jacob's attempt at appeasement or by God's mighty hand? What about in our lives today? #reconcile #bible #podcast #biblestudy #Genesis #Oldtestament

Jesus is the God who forgives our sins. We see this so wonderfully displayed in this chapter. How do we respond to Jesus' forgiveness ? #Mark #sermon #Biblepodcast #gospel #newtestament

Mark asks and answers two important questions. One is, who is Jesus, and the other is how do we respond to Him. So let us find out what Mark has to say in his gospel. #sermon #Mark #gospel #whoisJesus

Jacob wrestles with God in a cave. The wrestling, in some ways, mirrors his struggle with God's soveriegnty and self-reliance. The name change is a change for Jacob; however, change is a process, as we will see. #Biblestudy #Oldtestament #Genesis32 #Genesis

Laban and Jacob have some issues. God calls Jacob home to his family and promises to be with him the whole way. God also reminds Jacob that he has not been alone this whole time. He is now acting. #Genesis #Genesis31 #Oldtestament #gospel #Biblepodcast

Creation sings of its Creator. But this is an appetizer to deepening our longing for something more! Scripture introduces us to the King of the Universe. Will we pray, give, and go?

Rivalry, arguing, and hurt feelings. Jacob has problems. He has four wives and is being dragged between the different wives. There are problems all around. Hurt feelings abound. This was not God's design for marriage. Our theme shows up in two ways. One, God's sovereignty overcomes people's futile attempts to control their lives. Two, God's grace overcomes people's fallenness....

In Genesis 29, Jacob gets a taste of his own medicine. Laban, his uncle, tricks Jacob into laboring for 14 years to marry the woman he loved. And yet we will see that all of the brokenness of this story is not enough to dethrone the King. God redeems all of the brokenness in Jesus! #Genesis #Genesis29 #Jacob #tricked #Oldtestament #Biblepodcast

How can we have joy in the middle of life's hardships? Can gospel joy overcome the storms of life? According to Paul in Philippians, the answer is a resounding yes! Let us look at this letter Paul wrote to a struggling people, as he, himself, struggled in jail.

Jacob is living with the consequences of tricking his father. What does this say about human nature? And did Isaac really tell Jacob to marry a cousin? All of these questions and more are answered with the story we see in Genesis 28. #Genesis28 #OldTestament #Biblepodcast #Jacob #Questions

What do we do when godly authorities in our lives tell us to do the wrong things? In this episode, we will answer this question as we look at Jacob's deception of his father. #genesis27 #Jacob #oldtestament #biblepodcast
