Summary
Genesis 28 depicts Jacob's transformative encounter with God at Bethel, where God graciously initiates a covenant relationship despite Jacob's moral failures. The sermon emphasizes that God comes down to us rather than requiring us to climb to Him, and that genuine encounters with God inevitably produce change and compel believers toward sacrificial service.
Highlights
We don't go up to God, God comes down to us.
If you think you've met with God and you've remained unchanged, you have not actually met with God.
The reason that you fear man is because you don't fear God enough.
