Discussion Questions For Sermon On Genesis 29:1 – 30:24

QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION AT HOME OR IN GOSPEL COMMUNITY GROUPS

  • I ask again, why the emphasis upon the sins of the patriarchs and matriarchs of Israel? This story is particularly scandalous. What does it teach us concerning God’s dealings with his people? 
  • Compare Laban and Jacob. How might the Lord have been sanctifying Jacob through his dealings with Laban? How might the Lord use difficult people to sanctify you?
  • How does the birth of the 12 sons of Jacob demonstrate that God is able to accomplish his purposes and fulfill his promises despite the sinfulness of his people? Can you think of any other instances in the scriptures where deceit and rebellion seemed to threaten the purposes of God, and yet were used instead for God’s glory and our good? How does the knowledge that God’s plans are not thwarted by sin bring comfort to the Christian?
