Sunday 28th September 2025 // Evening // Genesis 29:1-30 // The God who Guides in the Ordinary

Rev. Craig Lynn preaches Genesis 29:1-30 at evening worship on Sunday 28th September 2025 in First Ards. After the vision of Bethel, Jacob doesn’t find angels or ladders, only a well, some shepherds and a young woman arriving with sheep. Yet through these ordinary details, God leads him to Rachel and into the next stage of His covenant plan. Even amid love, labour, deception and disappointment, God is at work quietly guiding His people, exposing idols, disciplining sin and preparing the line of Christ. In Jesus, the true Bridegroom, we see the One who doesn’t deceive or exploit but the One who gives Himself in love for His bride.
