Genesis 33: The Surprising Face of Grace

Twenty years ago, Jacob fled for his life from a brother who vowed to kill him. Now, as 400 armed men approach with Esau at their head, Jacob prepares for the worst - arranging his family for maximum survival, bowing seven times in desperate humility. But what happens next will take your breath away, as human forgiveness becomes a stunning picture of divine grace.

Genesis isn’t just the start of the Bible; it’s the foundation of everything. Creation, sin, judgment, grace, covenant, and promise all take root in this remarkable book. The stories are ancient, but their truths are eternal.

In this new series from Thy Strong Word, Pastor Phil Booe and his guests walk verse by verse through Genesis, exploring how God reveals Himself as Creator, Judge, and Redeemer.
