Week 8: Jacob
Tonight, we learned about Jacob. Jacob was one of the twin son’s of Issac and Rebekah. He was quite the trickster. He tricked his twin brother out of his birthright and tricked his father into giving him a blessing instead of his brother. What a mess? Do you think any of this surprised God? Even these twins couldn’t mess up God’s plan.
