Abounding Grace

Think your family is dysfunctional? Well as the old saying goes, You ain’t seen nothing yet. Isaac’s family was dysfunctional in so many ways. There was a lack of trust and leadership, and it would lead to broken relationships. It’s a family gone wrong, and reminds us that deceit destroys families.

We’re going to be studying Isaac’s life and as you’ll see in a moment, it resembles his dad’s life...
