Stairway to Heaven (2 of 7)
Series: Pixelated
Jeremy Jernigan
Genesis 28
1) Story: fishing trip
a) 99 out of 100 times my dad will out-fish me if given the chance
b) But he has a fatal flaw that I don't... he's a real fisherman!
c) Picture: Fire-tiger
d) Jef's quote: ''I've been waiting my entire life for someone to ask me that.''
2) We have the ability to customize whatever we want
a) If you want to fish you can build an army of lures
b) If you want to listen to music you can build a custom collection song by song
c) If you want to read you can build a library from any part of the world in any time of history
d) If you want to eat good food you can enjoy just about any type you want at any time of day
e) If you want to find God...
3) Week 2 of our Pixelated series
a) We are looking at stories in the OT and seeing how they illuminate Jesus
b) ''When you see Jesus, you see the heart of ultimate reality. Nothing more beautiful has been or can be revealed.'' E. Stanley Jones
c) Journals week 2
i) Title: Stairway to Heaven
ii) Everyone who enjoys music from the 70s just got really excited
iii) But I'm not talking about the song
iv) Big idea: Don't miss God's work to reach you because of your work to reach Him.
4) Open your Bibles to Genesis 28
a) Genesis 28 tells us the story about a man named Jacob
i) He is the third in line of the major patriarchs
ii) Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
b) I mentioned last week how much of the OT can be confusing
c) Jacob isn't exactly a model character
i) Genesis 25:26 ''After this, his brother came out, with his hand grasping Esau's heel; so he was named Jacob.''
ii) Jacob means ''he grasps the heel,'' a Hebrew idiom for ''he deceives.''
iii) Genesis 27:36 ''Esau said, 'Isn't he rightly named Jacob? This is the second time he has taken advantage of me: He took my birthright, and now he's taken my blessing!'''
iv) He is now getting out of the chaos to let the situation cool down a bit
