The Patriarchs | May 17, 2026

About this episode

Pastor Kevin Cain explores the patriarchal line from Adam to Jacob, emphasizing God's faithfulness in the Messianic line despite human flaws.

In this fourth installment of the 16-week biblical literacy series, Pastor Kevin Cain traces the patriarchal line found in the Old Testament — walking through 13 key steps from Adam & Eve all the way to Jacob, his 12 sons, and Joseph in Egypt — to show how God's unbreakable line of salvation never wavered, despite the repeated failures of flawed human beings. From Cain & Abel to Noah to Abraham, Isaac & Jacob, and Jacob's 12 sons, Pastor Kevin reveals one stunning theme woven through every chapter: it is never the consistency of humanity, but always the faithfulness of God that keeps the Messianic line moving forward. Culminating in Jacob's blessing over Judah and Joseph's powerful declaration that God turned evil intentions into salvation, this sermon makes clear that the line didn't end at Bethlehem — it now runs directly through the body of Christ. If God used broken, flawed patriarchs to bring the Messiah to the world, He can absolutely use us.
