When Brothers Reconcile (53 of 64)
Series: The Book of Beginnings

Genesis 33
Well, I am glad that you're here tonight. I have to be honest with you. Tonight is one of those messages I just didn't know whether I was ever going to get to preach. So go ahead and find your spot at Genesis, Chapter 33. Let me give you the background, not of the message. We'll get to that in a minute. But I've really done the preparation for this evening's sermon. I began to prepare on this message while we were in South Africa.

And even - I have to be honest with you though. Over this past week, I've studied, studied, studied, looked, looked, looked, read, read, read. And now I realize why most pastors skip Genesis 33.
It's true. Most pastors go straight from Jacob wrestling with God all the way to Joseph, and they skip a lot of the good stuff. But we're not going to do that because we are just not that kind of church. We try to be a little bit better, a little bit more thorough than a lot of the other places. And so tonight, we are here in Genesis 33 and we're looking at, and we're talking this evening, we're thinking about tonight, when brothers reconcile.
I could call this tonight a formula for reconciliation; a formula for reconciliation. You're ...
