About this episode

This episode discusses Jacob's marriages to Leah and Rachel, highlighting the contrast between worldly desirability and God's love for the despised and rejected.

This week we arrive at the account of Jacob marrying Leah and Rachel. Through Leah's story, we see the contrast between the "City of Man," which values outward beauty and worldly desirability, and the "City of God," which looks upon a heart that loves and trusts the Lord. In this passage, we are also reminded that our God not only loves His people, but He identifies with the despised and rejected.
