“The Blessing”

LIFE:  What is your favorite candy or treat? 

ENGAGE THE MESSAGE:

  1. Read Genesis 32:22-31.
  2. What idols do you notice in Jacob’s life? 
  3. Jacob was changed in this story. How?
  4. Did Jacob earn the blessing of God? Can we?  
  5. Why is the Bible written for us but not to us?
  6. With what thoughts and attitudes should we read the Old Testament?
  7. What does it mean to be blessed? How does the world use it? 
  8. Have you heard God’s blessing over your life? 

MAKE DISCIPLES:  When things aren’t going well, it’s an opportunity to reflect on all of your blessings. Who can you walk alongside this week and share this with?
