And yet, woven into these stories of faith and courage are cautionary tales of fear and compromise.

Julius Kim: I’,d invite you to turn to Genesis 29 for our scripture reading this morning. Let me add my welcome to pastor James, to all of you who are here today, to all of you watching online. Genesis 29 verses 15 to 35 will be the scripture reading. If you are able, if you can please stand for the reading of God’,s word. People of God listen carefully for this is the word of the Lord. Then Laban said to Jacob because you are my kinsman, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me what shall your wages be? Now Laban had two daughters, the name of the older was Leah and the name of the younger was Rachel. Leah’,s eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful in form and appearance. Jacob loved Rachel and he said, I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel. Laban said it is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to any other man, stay with me. So Jacob served seven years for Rachel and they seemed to him but a few days because of the love he had for her. Then Jacob said to Laban, give me my wife that I may go into her for my time is completed. So Laban gathered together all the people of the place and made a feast, but in the evening he took his daughter Leah and brought her to Jacob and he went into her. Laban gave his female servant Zilpah to his daughter Leah to be her servant. And in the morning behold, it was Leah and Jacob said to Laban, what is this that you have done to me? Did I not serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me? Laban said it is not so done in our country to give the younger before the firstborn, complete the week of this one and we will give you the other one also in return for serving me another seven years. Jacob did so and completed her week. Then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to be his wife. Laban gave his female servant Bilhah to his daughter Rachel to be her servant. So Jacob went into Rachel also and loved Rachel more than Leah and served Laban for another seven years. When the Lord saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb but Rachel was barren and Leah conceived and bore a son and she called his name Reuben for she said, because the Lord has looked upon my affliction, for now my husband will love me. She conceived again and bore a son and said because the Lord has heard that I am hated he has given me this son also and he called his name Simeon. Again, she conceived and bore a son and said, now this time my husband will be attached to me because I have born him three sons, therefore his name was called Levi. And she conceived again and bore a son and said, this time I will praise the Lord, therefore she called his name Judah, then she ceased bearing. Thus far the reading of God’,s word, you may be seated. Let’,s pray together. Father may the words of my mouth and the meditation of all of our hearts be pleasing in your sight oh Lord, our rock and our redeemer, would you now speak to us through your word, speak to us words of life, words of hope, words of love, words of peace, especially in the midst of all the brokenness in our world and even the brokenness in our hearts. Would you powerfully speak to us now through your spirit and by your word we pray in Jesus name, amen. I don’,t know about you, but I love the Old Testament because in the Old Testament we find these wonderful stories of these heroic figures of faith. Wonderful heroes of faith that inspire us, challenge us and cause us to live our lives with courage and confidence, hope and joy. Think about the great chapter in the New Testament Hebrews chapter 11, that outlines for us all these heroes of the faith, right? All those who face the trials and temptations of life with courage and conviction, it totally inspires me, I’,m sure it inspires you as well. But not all the stories of the old Testament go this way, do they?
