We begin a study of Jacob, scoundrel, cheat, con-man and ultimately God's choice to be founder of the Nation of Israel. We start with his dubious birth and immediate rivalry with his older twin and apparent pre-natal wrestling foe. Sunday school lessons like to focus on the morally virtuous figures of the Old Testament. While some men walk with God, others can only limp. In this series we'll look at one of the most morally compromised Biblical "heroes," and the flaws that make him that much more a relatable character. Our study source is Limping with God: Jacob and the Old Testament Guide to Messy Discipleship by Chad Bird.
