Sermon
Behold It Was Leah
Center Church

Summary
Jacob idolizes Rachel, serving fourteen years and deceiving himself about what brings satisfaction. Through Jacob's failed pursuit of romantic fulfillment, the sermon teaches that idolatry—valuing anything above God—ultimately disappoints, and only Christ, the truer Jacob, can satisfy the human soul's longing for Eden.
Highlights
Idolatry is deciding that something has such worth and weight that you think possessing it is the key to a happy life.
You will serve what you idolize. You will serve what you idolize.
No matter what you think your Rachel is in the morning, it's gonna be Leah. No matter what you think your Rachel is, no matter how great she is, no matter how happy you think you're gonna be in the morning, it's gonna be Leah.
