Genesis 29:15-35

MAIN IDEA
WE FIND APPROVAL IN GOD, NOT FROM OTHERS
JACOB WORKS FOR LABAN'S APPROVAL
Genesis 29:15-20
Jacob spots his reward & Laban sees dollar signs
Jacob sets his terms & Laban accepts
JACOB IS DECEIVED
Genesis 29:21-30
The work is complete
The trap is set
The great deceiver is deceived
Laban sets the new terms & Jacob fulfills them
The battle for Jacob's approval begins
LEAH LONGS FOR JACOB'S APPROVAL
Genesis 29:31-35
God graciously loves Leah
Leah tries earning Jacob's approval through childbearing
Leah finally finds her approval in the Lord
BE THE CHURCH, DISPLAY THE KINGDOM

Submit it to God - Repent of it
Find your approval in God, through the work of the Son
