Reconciliation with God

Jacob and Esau had been at war since the womb — twenty years of festering hatred, theft, and sworn vengeance standing between them. As Jacob returns to the promised land, he cannot escape the reckoning ahead. Pastor Chris Gordon opens Genesis 33 with that full weight of history in view, tracing the impossible drama of two brothers meeting after two decades of estrangement, with four hundred armed men on the horizon.
