Dr. McKellar’s Lesson for March 24, 2024

A Deceiver’s Dream and the Lord’s Faithfulness

Genesis 28:10-22

1. Providential Reorientation (10-11)

• Beersheba to Haran
• certain “place”
• contrasts
• strategically situated

2. Personal Revelation (12-15)

• Jacob’s dream: stairway, angels, LORD
• LORD’S message: promise, presence, protection

3. Prescriptive Response (16-22)

• expression for the sake of impression
• fear and awe
• house and gate
• word-driven worship

4. So What?

• Because the LORD reveals Himself as faithful, sinful wanderers can be transformed into serious worshipers.
• Relish the grace of the God of Jacob.
• Savor Scripture and saturate yourself in its promises.
• “…Angels descending bring from above echoes of mercy, whispers of love…” (Crosby, “Blessed Assurance”)
• connection to Christ (John 1:45-51)
