Lexicon | Blessed

Genesis 27:1–40 and Genesis 32:22-32 with Matt Chin. “Blessed” is one of the most common—and most confusing—words in the vocabulary of faith. We say it without thinking, hashtag it online, and often wonder what it really means. Is it about success? Favor? Feeling happy? And what happens when your life doesn’t feel “blessed” at all?In this message, we explore the ancient story of Jacob—a man who lied to his father and disguised himself as someone else, all to receive a blessing he thought he could never get as himself. His story speaks directly into our own questions about identity, approval, and love.Through Jacob’s hunger to be seen, and Jesus’ willingness to bear our shame, we discover a deeper truth:You don’t have to disguise yourself to be loved. In Jesus, the blessing we most long for is already being spoken over us.https://www.reunionboston.com
