Lesson 8 - Jacob and Faith - Part 2

< Back to Series

Every story needs a protagonist (the hero), something the hero desperately wants (a quest), a danger faced by the hero, and a robust antagonist (the person we love to hate!). Do you know an antagonist?  Perhaps a neighbor across the street, a co-worker, or maybe even a boss?

In part two of our lesson on "Jacob and Faith," Steve Taylor teaches us Jacob was the perfect antagonist in the real life story revealed in Genesis 25-32. Only four verses into his biography, we see Jacob demonstrating a penchant for manipulating others – revealed by the story of his purchasing Esau’s birthright for a bowl of lentil stew!  Join Steve as we learn more about the antagonist, Jacob.
