Labor Pains and the Hidden Hero

What this episode covers

Genesis 29:16-30 Have you ever gotten stuck seeing yourself through the eyes of others? Living through the perspectives of those around us deadens a sense of self. Such was happening to our hidden hero in today’s passage. This story in Genesis forms a key beginning in the life of our spiritual ancestors, and it shapes an entirely new trajectory for our lives of faith. It begins as a saga of exclusion and pain; it becomes a story of resiliency, determination and redemption. Join us! Today’s sermon is the third in our current series: Our Journey through the Bible. Catch up on the first two you might have missed by visiting our website www.fbcdecatur.com, and be sure to join us for our future sermons in this exciting series. The next two weeks will be taken from the book of Exodus chapters 1-4 and chapter 20. We encourage you read ahead through these chapters for your preparation; you can also enjoy watching the Pixar movie, The Prince of Egypt for well-researched background in history, architecture and geography.
