About this episode

This episode discusses the themes of true worship and obedience as illustrated in Genesis 35.

This Sunday, we were in Genesis 35, where the text expands on Jacob's name being changed to Israel. In this passage, we see that God calls us to worship Him on His terms, not our own. People often seek peace while refusing repentance, but God calls us to surrender our idols. It is in giving up control and walking in obedience that we experience true freedom in Christ.
