UNSTOPPABLE STORY

Looking backward helps us to move forward.

  • How far back do you know your own family history? Where did you get your stories from?

  • How does the thought of being forgotten make you feel?

Read: Genesis 25:19-34

  • Are you more of an outdoors person or a stay inside person? Why?

  • What kind of tension do you think there is between the brothers leading up to the birthright/stew interaction? Did they get along? Why or why not?

Read: Genesis 28:10-32

  • Which part of God’s blessing of Jacob (and Abraham) do you resonate with most? People, Place, Privilege, and Purpose?

  • Why is it important for God to set Jacob’s course, and not Jacob doing it on his own?

  • What is Jacob’s response?

Read: Genesis 32:24-32

  • Why do you think Jacob wrestles with God? Why won’t he let him go?

  • What is the significance of God changing Jacob’s name to Israel?

  • How would you feel if God rewrote part of who you were?

  • What parts of Jacob’s story do you relate with the most? Why do you think God uses imperfect people?

  • What parts of your life are defined by other things? How do you need to change to allow God’s story to define you?
