Harrisonville Church Of The Nazarene

Reading through the early parts of Jacob's story it is difficult to understand why God would choose him. A trickster born into a dysfunctional family, Jacob sure does not seem like the kind of model we want to follow. But God is not like us - God does not prejudge us based on our past or our failures. Jacob's story teaches that God loves you as you are, and not as you should be; because none of us are as we should be.
