The Story of Genesis: God Provides
Imagine having to give up what is most precious to you! Could you do it? God asked Abraham to sacrifice Isaac. Abraham obeyed, even though it was scary. But then God provided a sheep to be sacrificed instead. Because Abraham had not even withheld his only son from God, God gave him a BIG promise of many descendants and great blessing!
The Story of Genesis: Jacob is Deceived
Laban tricked Jacob the same way Jacob tricked Esau. But despite Laban's lies and deceit, God looked after Jacob and his family. God's plans are much bigger than human plans so nothing can get in the way of him keeping his promises.
