Jacob, Leaning Upon His Staff

Summary

Pastor Joe Holder explores the faith of Jacob as described in Hebrews 11:21, focusing on two key events near the end of Jacob's life: his blessing of Joseph's sons and his worship while leaning on his staff. He emphasizes the importance of faith in both significant and routine moments, highlighting how acknowledging our weaknesses allows God's grace to work powerfully in us. The sermon also draws parallels with Paul's experience of weakness and grace in 2 Corinthians 12, encouraging believers to serve God humbly and rely on His strength rather than their own.
