Returning Home, Part 1


Big idea: Set your heart toward home; God’s promises and presence go with you.

Three exoduses:

  • Jacob to Canaan
  • Israel to Canaan
  • Christian to the New Heavens and New Earth
  1. Trust God’s provision for the journey (Genesis 30:25-43).
  2. Remember God’s presence as you go (Genesis 31:1-16).
  3. Look toward your heavenly home (NT texts).
