Sermon Discussion questions
Trickster Gets Tricked: (Genesis 29:1-30)
Ice Breaker: Like Jacob at the well, have you ever tried to impress someone by doing something? What was it and did it work? or What’s the funniest thing you’ve ever seen someone do to try and impress a boy or girl?
This Week Specific
God’s Presence in Our Lives
Recognizing God’s Presence – In Genesis 28:15, God promises Jacob, “I am with you and will keep you wherever you go.” How do you remind yourself that God is with you, even when circumstances don’t seem to reflect that? Share a time when you had to trust in God’s presence despite difficulties.
God’s Providence in Everyday Life – Jacob arrives at the right place at the right time and meets Rachel at the well. Have you ever seen God orchestrate events in your life in unexpected ways? How can this passage encourage you to trust God’s timing in your job, family, or personal struggles?
Prayer For EveryDay Life - While on a journey to find a wife for Isaac, Abraham’s servant in Genesis 24:12-14 prayed for the Lord to lead him to the right woman, Jacob does no such thing. I expect we tend most of us function more like Jacob, as we go through life, why is that and how might prayer become more apart of your life during the moments of your day?
Relationships & Integrity
Family & Deception – Laban deceives Jacob just as Jacob had deceived Esau. What does this passage teach us about the long-term consequences of deception? How can you strive for honesty and integrity in your own family, workplace, or school? (See Proverbs 12:22)
Love & Waiting – Jacob worked seven years (then another seven) for Rachel. In a culture of instant gratification, what does his patience teach us about waiting well for what we desire—whether in relationships, career, or spiritual growth? How can this apply to something you’re waiting on God for today? (See Psalm 27:14)
Work & Faithfulness
Work & God’s Sovereignty – Even when treated unfairly, Jacob remained committed to his work. How does this passage shape your perspective on work, especially when your job or responsibilities feel unfair or unrewarding? How can Colossians 3:23-24 shape how we work?
Handling Disappointment – Jacob wakes up expecting Rachel and finds Leah. Have you ever faced a situation in life where reality did not meet your expectations? How did you respond? How should we process disappointment in a way that honors God? (See Romans 8:28)
God’s Greater Plan
God Works Through Imperfect People – Despite deception, heartbreak, and family drama, God uses this situation to build the 12 tribes of Israel. How does this encourage you in the midst of your own messy or complicated situations? Where do you need to trust that God is working behind the scenes?
