In this 9-part series, Dr. Michael Youssef leads you through the life of Jacob to show how fear deceives, but the sovereign grace of God frees, restores, and overrules. From Jacob’s scheming and family strife to his Bethel encounter, surrender, restitution, and final struggle against unbelief, the inerrant Word of God reveals that the Almighty is never defeated by human failure. His covenant promise stands firm, pointing to Jesus Christ, the divine Son of God and the only Savior. This series calls believers to repent of self-rule, reject fear and false guilt, intercede with faith, and trust God’s perfect timing. Even through weakness, scars, and spiritual warfare, God brings His will to pass for His glory.

In this message, Dr. Michael Youssef shows from the inerrant Word of God that Jacob’s lonely night at Bethel became a holy meeting with the living God. Jacob had sinned through scheming and deception, yet God did not abandon him. In sovereign grace, God showed him the stairway to heaven, pointing to Jesus Christ, the divine Son of God and the only way to the Father. This message calls believers to repent, rejoice in God’s mercy, respond with grateful obedience and giving, and remember His past faithfulness. In every dark Bethel, God still calls His people to trust, pray, and intercede with faith.
