Reshaped by the Gospel // Genesis: Unfiltered

Today, we explore Genesis 30 to see how the gospel radically redefines our identity and frees us from harmful patterns like envy and jealousy. This passage may not seem life-changing at first glance, but it reveals critical truths about the human heart. In the lives of Rachel, Leah, Jacob, and Laban, we see envy kill intimacy and jealousy isolate, as each one struggles for personal gain. Yet, the gospel offers redemption, grounding our worth in Christ rather than in what we can achieve.

Join us as we uncover the transformative power of the gospel, which frees us from competition and comparison to live for God’s glory and the benefit of others.
