FOR REFLECTION AND DISCUSSION
Read Genesis 28:10-17
1. When God met Jacob, God promised to build a new community that would be a means of blessing to the whole world, through Jacob (v.13–15). It’s like God’s promise to Abraham in Genesis 12 (discussed in Frontline Sunday 1). God’s promise is still with us. If we see ourselves as people who inherit this blessing, how might it change our perspective on our everyday lives?
2. Look at all the assurances that God gives Jacob in these verses (v13–15). How would they have changed Jacob’s understanding of his own life? Take a look at Matthew 28:20 (which sounds very similar). What difference can that make for our lives?
3. Have you ever experienced God’s presence in an ordinary and everyday place? What happened?
4. Jacob marked the spot by setting up a stone pillar and pouring oil on it. How could you mark a place in your everyday life to remind you that ‘God-encounters’ can happen there too?
