FAMILY THEME: GOD ESTABLISHED A NATION

Genesis 35

Jacob returned to his spiritual roots to reflect and received a blessing

and renewed promise.

1.  Returning to Our Spiritual Roots Can Strengthen Us

     (Genesis 35:1-8)

     Jacob returned to an instrumental place in his spiritual journey.

 
2.  God Made Jacob the Father of a Nation

     (Genesis 35:9-15)

     God again appeared to Jacob, this time changing Jacob's name

     to reflect His promise.

 
3.  Believers Will Experience Ups and Downs of Everyday Life

     (Genesis 35:16-29)

     Although Jacob had received a blessing, he would soon be confronted

     with the realities of death and sin.
