The Long Road to Reconciliation | Dr. Stephen Conley

Texts:  Genesis 33:1-20; Ephesians 2:12-19   From Separation to Reconciliation (Gen. 33:1-11) Jacob's posture of humility toward Esau God's faithfulness in bringing about Esau and Jacob's reconciliation Jacob's gratitude for God's provision, acceptance, and protection   From Reconciliation to Redirection (Gen. 33:12-20) Esau's sincere offer to Jacob to join him at his home Jacob's cryptic refusal and redirection toward the Promised Land Jacob's altar of worship to the God of Israel   Gospel Connection: Because of Christ, we can go from being separated from God to being reconciled to God (Eph. 2:12-19).   Main Idea: Reconciliation is made possible by the transforming work of God.
