This Week's Worship

Genesis 35:1-4
Bethel held significant importance for Jacob, as it was the place where he first encountered God during a moment of utter vulnerability and desperation. However, as Jacob progressed through life and attained material success, he gradually lost sight of God's providential care and guidance, shifting his focus toward personal achievements and future aspirations. In response, God orchestrated circumstances that led Jacob back to the moment he first met God and learned the basic lesson of divine provision and guidance. Thus, Bethel became the foundation of Jacob’s faithful journey.
