Four weeks in - keep going! This week we have watched God's promises pass faithfully from Abraham to Isaac to Jacob despite a household full of scheming and rivalry, sung along with David through psalms of worship and confidence, and seen Jesus reveal His identity and resolve as He turned His face toward Jerusalem. If you have fallen behind, the weekend is your chance to catch up.

Jacob's family grows and his flocks multiply through clever breeding, David turns from the glory of creation to the greater glory of God's Word, and Jesus sets His face resolutely toward Jerusalem.

Jacob's love for Rachel is complicated by his match in Laban, David closes his psalm still praising God's greatness and saving grace, and Jesus' identity is confirmed through Peter's confession and the Transfiguration.

Jacob's vision at Bethel gives us a wonderful picture of worshipful surrender, David paints a picture of God's might and power, and Jesus sends His disciples out before feeding a great crowd with a few loaves and fish.

Family drama fills our Genesis reading today, David protests his innocence in the face of false accusation, and we watch Jesus' power on full display - calming a storm and healing many.
