Learning about God's Plan for Salvation at South Shore Trinity Lutheran Church

Week 5 - Jacob, Esau, and Joseph

The readings assembled for this week cover two generations of Abraham’s descendants. First, we see Jacob and Esau reunited and reconciled and then we are introduced to Jacob’s children; Joseph being the most famous and remembered of Jacob’s kids. In the account of Joseph we see God working even in the midst of family rivalry and deceit.

Week 4 - Isaac and Rebekah, Esau and Jacob

This week God’s plan continues to unfold as Isaac marries Rebekah, and Jacob and Esau are born to the couple. Through this week’s readings we see that God remains faithful to His promise and continues to work even though God’s people regularly stumble and fall.
