Presbyterian Church in America Doctrinal Statement – What we believe:
- We believe the Bible is the written word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit and without error in the original manuscripts. The Bible is the revelation of God’s truth and is infallible and authoritative in all matters of faith and practice.
- We believe in the Holy Trinity. There is one God, who exists eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
- We believe that all are sinners and totally unable to save themselves from God’s displeasure, except by His mercy.
- We believe that salvation is by God alone as He sovereignly chooses those He will save.
- We believe His choice is based on His grace, not on any human individual merit, or foreseen faith.
- We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, who through His perfect life and sacrificial death atoned for the sins of all who will trust in Him alone for salvation.
- We believe that God is gracious and faithful to His people, not simply as individuals but as families in successive generations according to His Covenant promises.
- We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells God’s people and gives them the strength and wisdom to trust Christ and follow Him.
- We believe that Jesus will return, bodily and visibly, to judge all mankind and to receive His people to Himself.
- We believe that all aspects of our lives are to be lived to the glory of God under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

God and the Earth’s Future – 2 Peter 3:3-13
Take One For the Team – Genesis 39
Geared for the Weak – Genesis 38
Genesis 37:2-36
Dynamically Living with God – Genesis 35:1-15
- Jacob’s name change to Israel is re-affirmed in Genesis 35. “What is the background of your name? Why were you given your name? Were you, for instance, named after a relative, family friend, biblical character, athlete, movie star?” (taken from Dan Allender’s To Be Told)
- The Christian life is a dynamic one where we, as God’s people, are meant to interact with God in intimate covenant communion for the sake of the building of the Kingdom of his Son Jesus Christ. We saw this in the relationship between Jacob and God Almighty (El Shaddai) in Genesis 35. First God instructed Jacob how to relate to him, Jacob/Israel obeyed and then God met him again in a revealing of his promises to Israel for personal communion and kingdom building.
- The promises made to Jacob/Israel in Genesis 35 contain references to many other places in the Bible. These promises have been referred to as the 4 “P”s. Does anyone remember what they are?
- Have different members in the group turn to Genesis 1:26-28; 9:1; 12:1-3, 17:4-8 and 35:11-12 and show where they find the four “P”s of God’s covenant promises affirmed.
- What is one thing from last week’s sermon that you hoped we would talk about and why?
The Grace of the Law – Genesis 34
- Who is the author of Genesis? (Moses)
- Who is the original audience for whom the book of Genesis was originally written? (Israel after the Exodus and on the way to the promised land)
- Who is Dinah’s mother? Is she the more or less favored wife of Jacob?
- As appropriate to your group, discuss the following: What did Shechem do to Dinah?
- Has God revealed his laws to Israel at this point in history? When does God give the Ten Commandments and subsequent laws to Israel?
- How would God’s law have helped in a situation like this? (see Exodus 22:16-17 and Deuteronomy 22:28-29).
- Why might Jacob have under-reacted in hearing about the mistreatment of Dinah? (compare Jacob’s reaction in Genesis 34:5 to his reaction to Joseph’s supposed death in 37:31-35)
- When have you experienced or witnessed an under-reaction to evil? Share with the group.
- When the sons of Jacob return they react very strongly (v. 7) but then fail to exact a punishment that fit the crime (v. 25-29). How would laws from God have been a helpful provision in this case? Do any laws from the Old Testament come to mind as particularly relevant to this case? (see Exodus 21:23-24).
- When have you experienced or witnessed an over-reaction to evil? Share with the group.
- At the end of the story (v. 30-31) there is a disagreement between Jacob and his sons about what should have been done in response to Dinah’s severe mistreatment. Explain how this ending is “ambiguous.”
- How do God’s laws given to Israel clear up that ambiguity?
- The main point of this sermon was that the law is grace. How is law (or instruction) gracious? [caption id="attachment_4216" align="alignright" width="228"] Crucifixion of Saint Peter, by Caravaggio 1601[/caption]
- Jesus, in John 13:34, commands his disciples. What has he commanded us to do?
- How is Jesus' instruction to love like him (laying down your life for others as he has laid down his life for us) a gracious thing?
- No one perfectly loves like Jesus, and that is why we need to continually be reminded that we are rooted in his sacrificial, complete and perfect love for us (Ephesians 3:14-21). When have you seen a local church love like Jesus, laying down its life for the sake of others? What opportunities does Crossroads have to love others like Jesus?
God’s Tricky but He’s Good – Genesis 32:22-32
- What has God already promised Jacob according to chapter 28:13-15?
- Who else did God make these promises to in prior chapters of Genesis?
- How do these promises line up with the way God set up human life at creation (see Genesis 1-2).
- Read chapter 32:1-21.
- Who is Jacob afraid will attack and kill him? Why would Jacob be afraid of this? (Hint: see Genesis 27)
- Read 32:22-24
- Who do you think Jacob assumed the man was who attacked him in the night (see v. 24)?
- Read 32:25-30
- Who does Jacob realize it is in v. 30?
- Some people wonder how God, who cannot be seen and is a Spirit, can physically wrestle Jacob. Hosea 12:2-4 explains that an angel wrestled with Jacob. This is common for an angelic emissary of God to be God’s representative
- This was tricky of God to lead Jacob (and the hearers of Genesis) to think that it was a man who wrestled with him. But through this tricky attack God accomplished a few things:
- God can and does act shrewdly (withholding information) – he can be tricky.
- God is committed to his ancestral covenant promises to Jacob and is willing to act tricky to make that known. Do you remember how the putting Jacob’s hip out of joint indicated God’s commitment to keep his promises? (hint: see Genesis 24:1-3).
- Jacob’s tricky ways can be employed for the sake of God’s mission too. Do you remember how God helped Jacob to act shrewdly with Esau? (hint: see Genesis 32:1 and the meaning of “Mahanaim” in the ESV margin note and compare with what Jacob does in 32:7
- How was Jesus’ crucifixion the greatest trick that God ever played?
- How did that shrewd move by God fulfill his ancestral covenant promises to Abraham?
- How is God tricky in 2 Thessalonians 2:9-11?
- How is God’s trickiness employed for the sake of the covenant promises he has made to Christ’s people? How is his action performed for the sake of good?
- C.S. Lewis wrote of the Christ character in the Narnia series that “God is not safe but he’s good”. What do you think he meant by that? Does that help you understand how God can be tricky but also good?
- Why do we need the Bible to constantly expand and re-align our understanding of who God is toward us and others?
- Can you tell the group a story from your life when having your horizons expanded regarding Christ or the gospel really made a difference?
- God is obviously very serious about keeping his promise to Jacob, even giving him the enduring reminder in his hip joint.
- Do you believe that he is as committed to bring about salvation in the life of the church today? Where are you encouraged by what you see happening in the global, national or local church?
Genesis 29:1-35
